Round two of the 99^th PGA Championship saw play suspended due to weather but their was no raining on Jason Day’s parade.

Finishing at twilight, Day shot 5-under 66 and looked to be in the form he had in 2015 when he won the PGA Championship.

An eagle on the par5 7^th sparked an impressive run from the Queenslander who went on to birdie 8, 9 and 10 before play was suspended. A bogey on resumption was quickly erased by a monster 46ft putt on the 13^th followed by another birdie on 14.

Day was forced to race the sun to finish the final four, making par on all of his remaining holes. He now sits outright third, just two behind leaders Kevin Kisner and Hideki Matsuyama.

“Eagling 7 and having three birdies after that was nice. It’s just unfortunate that we — because I was actually in a rhythm and the momentum was going my way, and unfortunately we got called off, and I bogeyed the first hole coming back out after the delay,” Day said.

“But to be honest, I felt like this was always — it’s been slowly building. It was nice to be able to drive the way I did today and set myself up with the opportunities and being able to capitalize on those opportunities felt even better.

“Because they were the two things that were missing pretty much the whole year is my driving and my putting, and being able to combine that today, just felt like the old days, which is only last year.

“It just feels likes it’s been ten years ago because I have had a pretty poor year. Very pleased to be where I’m at.”

“Being able to shoot 66 today, I know that we’re going to have some, you know, it’s going to be hard work over the next two days because of how Hideki and Kevin are playing.

“So it will be interesting to see, you know, how the weekend pans out with the weather, but hopefully we get some nice, sunny weather over the next two days and we can finish strong.”

The other big Australasian mover was New Zealand’s Ryan Fox who clawed back an enormous amount of ground climbing 69 spots thanks to his 5-under 66.

His score set the course record until a rampaging Matsuyama and Francesco Molinari bested it by two shots.

"Pretty bloody happy to be honest," Fox told the European Tour. "It was a little bit of a change from yesterday. I had a good nine on the back nine yesterday but got away with some errant tee shots. Got my ass kicked on the front nine when I kept hitting it in the rough.

"Managed to keep it in play a lot better today, hit a lot more fairways. I guess length is an asset around here and that’s definitely a strong part of my game. It was nice to take advantage of that today and also see a few putts go in on top of that.

"I probably missed four or five putts inside of ten foot as well, including a short one for eagle on seven. Every hole around here, you’re just happy to take a par.

"I’m just happy to make it easy coming down the stretch, knowing I’m going to have a tee time on the weekend. I’ve got nothing to lose. It’s my first time playing over here as a pro. I’ve enjoyed it so far and hopefully I can keep it going tomorrow."

Fox puts part of his success down to having already secured his European Tour card for 2018 after an impressive showing in three Rolex Series events.

“I’ve got nothing to lose. It’s my first time playing over here as a pro. I’ve enjoyed it so far and hopefully I can keep it going tomorrow.”

The cut line currently sits at 5-over however won’t be set in stone until play is completed tomorrow morning.

Marc Leishman is currently at 4-over while Adam Scott had a round to forget at 5-over and is currently above the cut line.

Scott Hend is at 6-over but still has four holes to get above the cut line when he finishes his second round tomorrow. Cameron Smith has three holes to play but at 13-over is very unlikely to progress.

The PGA Championship is over for New Zealand’s Danny Lee (12-over), Rod Pampling (14-over) and Stuart Deane (23-over).
