Cream rises to the top of PGA Championship leaderboard

However the Irish challenge continues to falter.

Open champion Henrik Stenson recovered from a poor start to boost his bid for back-to-back major titles as the cream rose to the top of the leaderboard in the US PGA Championship.

After starting on the 10th following a 41-minute delay due to a waterlogged course, Stenson began his second round two shots off the lead before three-putting the 12th and 13th.
