Vegas on Fire: Jhonattan Dominates Day 2 at the PGA Championship
So, let’s talk about what everyone in the golf world is buzzing about right now—Jhonattan Vegas. The man is on fire at Quail Hollow during the second round of the PGA Championship. As of the 15th hole, Vegas is sitting at an incredible 10 under par , pulling away from the field with the kind of performance that demands attention.
Vegas kicked things off with authority and has been steady, consistent, and downright surgical ever since. One moment that stands out? His birdie on the 13th hole. A pure swing off the tee, he stuck it to within eight feet and drained the putt like it was just another day at the office. Then on the very next hole, he dropped another birdie after a high-risk flop shot from the rough left him just nine feet from the cup. He calmly converted, moving into double digits under par. That’s the kind of composure and flair that separates contenders from champions.

Even when he found trouble on the 15th—short-siding himself in a greenside bunker—he kept his cool. He safely played out and two-putted for par, a minor hiccup, but a reminder that he’s thinking long game here.
Behind him, there are some notable names trying to hang on. Matthieu Pavon wrapped up a bogey-free 65 to reach six under. Max Homa, after a rough stretch in recent months, looked more like his old self, shooting a phenomenal 64 to climb to five under. “It feels more like me,” he said after the round—and it showed.
But the story of the day is all Vegas. The Venezuelan golfer has found a rhythm that’s just electric to watch. While others are grinding through the tricky layout at Quail Hollow—dealing with bunkers, brutal pin placements, and the sweltering Carolina heat—Vegas is breezing through like it’s his backyard.
The gap is growing too. His lead is now four strokes over Pavon, and he’s making a serious case not just to make the weekend, but to own it . Players like Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, and Xander Schauffele haven’t even teed off yet, but Vegas is sending a clear message: Catch me if you can.
With a field packed with major champions and rising stars, it takes something special to stand out. And right now, Vegas is that special. If he keeps this form, we might be witnessing something memorable at this year’s PGA Championship. Let's see if he can keep the momentum going into the weekend—but today? Today belongs to Jhonattan Vegas.
