China's Haotong Li surges to lead at PGA Championship after bogey-free second round

Haotong Li flew ahead of the pack on Friday morning at the PGA Championship behind a stellar bogey-free outing at TPC Harding Park.

Li, after a 3-under 67 on Thursday, carded a 5-under 65 in the second round to grab a two-shot lead headed into the weekend.

Li is now the first player from China to ever lead any of the four major championships at the end of a round. He’d be the first man from the country to ever win a major, too — though he’s not thinking about that yet.

“Well, I've got no expectation actually, because you know, last few months, [I’ve had to] stay at home doing nothing,” Li said after his round.
