Image: Matt York JUSTIN THOMAS AND Joaquin Niemann battled through blustery conditions to make early charges but Rory McIlroy clung to a one-stroke lead in Friday’s second round of the PGA Championship.

Thomas, the 2017 PGA champion who battled allergies to open on 67, grinded through brisk winds Friday with gusts above 40 mph.Back-nine starter Thomas rolled in a six-foot birdie putt at the 10th hole and briefly matched McIlroy with a birdie at the par-5 13th, dropping his approach inside four feet and sinking the putt.

Winds were predicted to decrease when McIlroy, Tiger Woods and Jordan Spieth, trying to complete a career Grand Slam, made an afternoon start.
