PGA Tour has asked John Deere to shift tournament in the future from Quad Cities to Chicago, per @AdamSchupak. This comes as PGA Tour looks to move "track one" schedule to new markets.

The Bryson rules?

🚨❌⛳️ #UPDATE — Phil Mickelson will NOT play next week’s PGA Championship despite being listed in the field. “I wish I could. I can’t unfortunately. I’m hoping to play the rest of the year after that but I honestly don’t know.” (Via: @flushingitgolf)

Jon Rahm when asked if he could get out of current LIV contract, if he wanted: “I’ll say I’m also not a lawyer. I have no idea. I couldn’t tell you. I have very few talents in my life, and reading a contract or business are not two of them.” “I have several years on my contract left, and I'm pretty sure they did a pretty good job when they drafted that. So I don’t see many ways out, and as of right now, I’m not really thinking about it.”

Notes on next week's PGA Championship field: • Phil Mickelson listed in field, Tiger Woods officially is not • Dustin Johnson received special invite • Max Homa, Sudarshan Yellamaraju first two alternates

Alex Fitzpatrick in his second round as a full PGA Tour member: 6 Birdies 0 Bogeys 12/14 Fairways hit 17/18 Greens hit +4.3 SG: Ball Striking Chipped in for birdie on the only green missed Friday.

First round of the day, best round of the day. Kurt Kitayama bounces back big after a Thursday 76 @Cadillac_Champ.

What would be your least favorite hole location to play tomorrow?

Rickie Fowler with another birdie.

Cameron Young was 8-for-8 scrambling in today's bogey-free round of 64. It's the most times Young has got up-and-down successfully in a bogey-free round on the PGA Tour.

Absolutely dialed! Cameron Young is making it look easy @Cadillac_Champ as he moves to 8-under par. 📺 PGA TOUR LIVE on ESPN+

Cameron Young is putting on a show

Long par save for Scheffler. Short Par 3 coming up for him next

Theegala ends at -3, chucks the ball in the drink to finish it off. Not pretty, but he escaped with an ok score.

Smooth.
