St Louis (Missouri): India’s Anirban Lahiri and Shubhankar Sharma’s campaign ended on a disappointing note at the 100th PGA Championships as both missed cuts with identical scores of 3-over 143 at the halfway mark.
Brooks Koepka shot a 30 on the front nine and finished with a 4-under 66, leaving him at 12-under 198 at the 100th PGA Championship. Koepka, the two-time US Open winner, is in line to become only the fifth player to win the US Open and the PGA Championship in the same year. Koepka is two shots clear of second placed Adam Scott of Australia. Tiger Woods was lying tied sixth with rounds of 70-66-66 at 8-under and four behind Koepka.
However it was a disappointing day for the Indians at he final Major of the year. Sharma’s woes started from 14th as he missed a six foot putt for a bogey and ended with a double. On the very next hole, he missed a seven footer for par.
He did fight back with a birdie on 16th but he was flirting with danger. He missed an eight footer for par on 17th and then failed to get out of the bunker.
