Jhonattan Vegas raked (literally) his way through the second round of the 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina on Friday. The 40-year-old stands alone atop the leaderboard, finishing the round at 1-under par and 8-under par for the tournament through the first 36 holes. Vegas, who is ranked No. 70 in the world, is two strokes ahead of Si Woo Kim, Matt Fitzpatrick and Matthieu Pavon, who sit tied for second place. A day after becoming the first Venezuelan to hold the lead or co-lead in a major, Vegas is not only looking to claim his first win in one of golf’s most prized tournaments, but also his first top 20 finish at the very least. Vegas quickly bounced back after an early bogey on the second hole with four birdies to propel him to an electric 10-under score. Luck is not something a lot of golfers have on their side on any given day on a course but Vegas seemed to dive deep into it on the par 3 17th hole.
