David Puig Advances to Weekend at PGA Championship with Strong Second Round
Spanish golfer David Puig delivered a standout performance during the second round of the 2026 PGA Championship, shooting a 4-under-par 67 to reach the weekend at two under par overall. The 24-year-old from La Garriga displayed remarkable consistency on the demanding Aronimink course in Philadelphia, recording four birdies and only one bogey. Puig credited his success to patience and effective putting, noting that he felt well-prepared for this major event. This result marks a significant milestone in his career, as he has never previously made the cut on the weekend in a major championship, surpassing his previous best finish of 39th at the 2023 US Open. Despite challenging conditions characterized by wind, clouds, and difficult flag placements, Puig remained solid, even while playing alongside South African competitor Potgieter. Meanwhile, world number one Scottie Scheffler struggled slightly with a 71, citing missed fairways and tricky greens. Puig's performance places him in contention and represents his best start in a major tournament to date.
