Golf fans lamented Friday's wind and pin placements (Just ask Scottie Scheffler) for causing a lack of fireworks on the leaderboard at Aronimink. But there was a bit of excitement around the cut line involving a major champion.
Justin Rose didn't have his best stuff for the first two days at the PGA Championship, in large part, as our Shane Ryan writes, due to his struggles with those new irons. But the 2013 U.S. Open champ came up clutch when it mattered most.

Rose opened his second round with a double bogey and looked like he might not make the cut at Aronimink for much of the day. A bogey on the par-3 eighth, his penultimate hole of the day, put Rose at five over par. But after two good shots on the par-5 ninth to put himself around the green, the 45-year-old summoned the type of magic golf fans are used to seeing from him at the Ryder Cup. Have a look:
The Day 2 walk-off eagle vaulted Rose to three over par, ensuring he'd have a weekend tee time at the year's second major. It's not quite the same drama as having the lead on the back nine of the Masters like he did last month, but that's the heart of a champion on display right there.
