The second round of the 2025 BMW PGA Championship came to a thrilling end on Friday. Hideki Matsuyama took the lead after beginning the round with an even par. He carded only one bogey throughout the entire round, on the fifteenth hole.
He went on to card a total of five birdies and two eagles in the second round to make a score of 8-under.
Chasing Hideki Matsuyama at the 2025 BMW PGA Championship are Justin Rose, Viktor Hovland, and Ludvig Aberg with a score of 11-under. They are currently one stroke away from him.
However, the round was not as easy for others as it was for them. Big names like Brooks Koepka and Billy Horschel ended up missing the cut after the Friday round. On the other hand, Rory McIlroy might have cut, but he is still in the lower strata of the leaderboard. After a round of 72, the Northern Irishman is tied in 45th after the second round of the 2025 BMW PGA Championship. With just a few days left for the Ryder Cup, big names are giving it their all to be in good form for their respective teams.
