US PGA Championship 2023 LIVE: Leaderboard and latest updates

Thomas Pieters goes back-to-back with the birdie sauce. He’s now up to -3, one stroke behind the lead of DeChambeau. Meanwhile, it’s been a solid start from Dustin Johnson (-3) with back-to-back pars and similar for Adam Scott (-2)

Tom Kim admitted he missed the anonymity of playing in tournaments without widespread television coverage after an embarrassing incident at Oak Hill.

Kim unwittingly provided the viral moment of day one of the US PGA Championship after an errant tee shot on the par-four sixth, his 15th of the day.

The world number 19 thought he could play his ball from the edge of the hazard but discovered the ground was considerably softer and muddier than he anticipated.

Television footage captured Kim emerging with his legs covered in mud and kept rolling as he decided he may as well find a cleaner part of the creek in which to wash his legs and trousers.

“I think the world has seen enough already of it,” Kim joked as he was shown the footage while speaking to Sky Sports following a round of 73.

Good stuff from Max Homa. A top-10 player in the world who was a bit overlooked for this week but has recovered well after a slow-ish start. He makes a clutch par putt on the 10th to start his second round and takes advantage with a birdie to follow at 11. He’s up to Evens for the championship now.

Thomas Pieters makes a putt from downtown on the 3rd to move to -2 – currently a tie for 7th. He’s been joined there this morning by big-hitting Australian Cam Davis who makes three straight birdies on holes 13, 14 and 15 to surge up the leaderboard.

Have yourself a day, Michael Block! The PGA professional is attacking pins and looks like he belongs among the world’s best here. This is the fifth time he’s qualified for the PGA Championship as one of the 20 PGA pros but he’s never made the cut.

However, he birdies the 14th (his 5th) for a third birdie of the day and he’s at -3, just one stroke off the lead. What a story!

A lot of big-hitters (literally and figuratively) heading out for their second rounds, trying to climb the leaderboard or maintain the good position they’ve created. We’ll keep you across how they get on.

The trio of Tommy Fleetwood (+2), Hideki Matsuyama (+2) and Cameron Young (+4) are currently on their second hole (the 11th), while Tony Finau (+1), Max Homa (+1) and Adam Scott (-2) are finishing up the 10th (their 1st). Finau has had the ideal start with a stunning approach leaving him a five-footer for birdie, which he sinks to move to +1. He was +6 after nine holes of his first round, remember…

Tyrrell Hatton (+7), Dustin Johnson (-3) and Xander Schauffele (+2) have just teed off on the 10th and behind them will be Patrick Cantlay (+4), Rickie Fowler (+3) and Phil Mickelson (+3). Some great golf coming up.

The New York course hosts this event for a fourth time, with a strong field set to battle across four days.

Defending champion Justin Thomas will hope to again challenge but plenty of focus will be on the leading trio in the world, with Scheffler and Rahm, winner of the Masters, in particularly excellent form in 2023.

But Oak Hill has produced a surprise major winner before, and an unexpected contender could well emerge from talented and deep list of entrants.

Here are the tee times and featured groups for the 2023 PGA Championship.

Here’s how Justin Rose got himself to -1 on the final hole of his first round. A lovely boost to finish things off.

PGA professional Michael Block is flying at the start of his second round. 20 PGA pros qualify for the PGA Championship every year and this is Block’s fifth appearance at the major. He’s not your normal teaching pro and he’s showing his class.

He birdied the 10th (his 1st) and then stuck an approach all over the flag at 12 for a kick-in birdie. Two-under for his round and -2 for the championship, well on track to make the cut which will surely be his aim.

Eric Cole had a chance to get a shot back after his double-bogey disaster but the putter went cold after a gorgeous iron shot into the 7th wasn’t capitalised on.

In terms of other notable first-round finishers, Justin Rose chipped in form just off the green on 18 to card a one-under round of 69. Good stuff by the Englishman. Phil Mickelson’s normally incredible pitching let him down on the final hole however, as a pitch stayed in the rough and he double-bogeyed to fall to +3 with a 73. Gutting for Lefty
