Through 54 holes of golf at the 2022 PGA Championship, little-known Mito Pereira found himself atop the leaderboard on 9-under 201, three clear of Will Zalatoris (73) and Matt Fitzpatrick (67).
Passive golf fans – those who tune in for the four majors – are left wondering where the heck the big names went. Well, many played poorly in the opening two round and missed the cut, while others, such as Rory McIlroy and Justin Thomas went the wrong way on moving day and blew a perfect opportunity amid a weak leaderboard.
