Who is leading the 2023 BMW PGA Championship after Round 2? Day 2 leaderboard explored

The second day of the BMW PGA Championship had some interesting moments, even though the round was not completed. It is not every day in Europe that two compatriots share the lead, even temporarily. However, that's what happened on Friday at the Wentworth Club.

Sweden's Sebastian Söderberg and Ludvig Aberg share the lead in the BMW Championship. Although the second round must restart on Saturday for 25 players to finish their competition, Aberg and Söderberg are safe in first place, with a score of -10.

Aberg was solid again at the BMW PGA Championship with eight birdies, five of which came on the back nine. A double bogey on the ninth hardly spoiled his day. Söderberg, for his part, shot the second-best second round of the field (64, including an eagle) to climb into first place.

The best round of the day at the BMW PGA Championship came from American Billy Horschel, who carded a bogey-free round with seven birdies and an eagle. His performance moved him up 94 places on the leaderboard. He is tied for 16th.
