Rose blooms at US PGA while Scheffler, Conners and Hovland share lead

• Former world No 1 sits one under par after second round of 70
• Scheffler, Conners and Hovland share lead on five under par

This has the makings of a huge season for Justin Rose. Victory at the US PGA Championship would add to the existing sense he is a golfer on a mission to make up for lost time.

A decade has passed since Rose took delivery of his solitary major title thus far, the US Open. The more pertinent timescale is the four years that passed between victories at the Farmers Insurance Open and the Pebble Beach Pro-Am in early February. Rose, who had been the world No 1 in 2018, was not even deemed worthy of a captain's pick for Europe's 2021 Ryder Cup team.
