Jhonattan Vegas Shines at PGA Championship Amidst Quail Hollow Drama

Venezuela's golf sensation Jhonattan Vegas displayed exceptional prowess at the PGA Championship held at Quail Hollow, holding onto a narrow lead midway through the second round on Friday. Vegas ended the day with a one-under-par 70, maintaining his two-shot lead over French competitor Matthieu Pavon.

Max Homa, who previously clinched his first PGA Tour title at Quail Hollow in 2019, dramatically surged into the top contenders, finishing the round with an impressive seven-under-par 64.
