Indo-British golfer Aaron Rai experienced a challenging second round at the PGA Championship, dropping from tied-4th to tied-17th after scoring 2-over 73. Despite this, Rai managed to make the cut for the tournament.

Akshay Bhatia, an Indo-American player, faced disappointment as he dramatically missed the cut by one stroke. Bhatia maintained a promising start and was positioned in the top-20 before calamity struck with double bogeys and a subsequent bogey sealing his fate.
