2015 BMW PGA Championship Weekend Update

We're two rounds into the BMW PGA Championship with two more to go at the Wentworth Club in Surrey, England. As it stands now, the leader going into the weekend is Italian Francesco Molinari at 10-under. He holds a one shot lead over Challenge Tour player Byeong Hun An AKA Ben An (who currently holds the record for younger winner of the US Amateur, which he won in 2009 at age 17.) The cut has also been set at 2-over this week

Conditions were perfect at Wentworth over the past two days, which led to good scores all around. Molinari started the tournament off with a 65 and followed it up with a 69 today. Ben An shot a 64 earlier today in a round that consisted of 8 birdies with four of them in a row. TGR favourite and former winner Miguel Angel Jimenez is also in the mix of things at 6-under T6. Many players were eager to put in a good round before the weekend.

World Number One Rory McIlroy is also making headlines this week, but for the wrong reasons. The Northern Irishman missed the cut after shooting a 71 76, but is also receiving a fine from the European Tour after throwing one of his clubs after a bad shot on the 17th on Thursday. In a post round interview, Rory stated that he was mentally angry and showing signs of fatigue.

Also in the news, the other older Molinari brother, Eduardo, and Padraig Harrington have withdrew from the tournament due to injuries; a shoulder injury for Padraig and a wrist injury for Eduardo.

Finally, here's how our picks are doing:

1) Graeme McDowell: T62 at 1-over
2) Danny Willett: T25 at 2-under
3) Chris Wood: T17 at 3-under

Good work from Willett and Wood, they're in good positions going into the weekend. Though it looks like GMac needs a couple of big rounds to have a run at the title.

Stay tuned Sunday for our Results post to see who's won,
