David Puig has commented on playing alongside Aldrich Potgieter over the first two rounds at the PGA Championship, with the South African keeping himself in the mix at Aronimink.

Both Puig and Potgieter go into the weekend at the second major of the year with a real opportunity to win.

Puig is two under par for the first two rounds after posting an extremely impressive 67 on Friday in Philadelphia.

Potgieter is one shot ahead of the LIV Golf starlet. However, it could have been even better for the 21-year-old. He, unfortunately, finished his second round with bogeys on the 17th and 18th holes to reach the halfway stage at three under par.

Puig and Potgieter are among the brightest talents on their respective tours.

Puig has won on the DP World Tour, while he sits seventh in the standings on LIV. Potgieter, meanwhile, won the Rocket Classic on the PGA Tour last year.

And Puig said after his second round that he was extremely impressed by what he saw from Potgieter over the first two days at the PGA Championship.

“It was awesome. He’s a really talented player. He hits it really far. I think I hit it pretty far, but he’s definitely longer than me. And, yeah, obviously the last couple holes, with a couple bogeys, but he played unbelievable golf today and yesterday,” he said.
