Indian golfer Anirban lahiri failed to make the halfway cut at the PGA Championship as he scored a second consecutive three-over 73 at the Baltusrol Golf Club here.

The 29-year-old, who was tied 107th after the first round, on Friday took his total of six-over 146 while the weekend cut was decided at two-over 142. lahiri got off to a poor start by getting bogeys on the par-four holes of first and third.

The world No.64 then made par efforts on the rest of the holes till the 11th hole, which he again bogeyed. Another bogey on the following hole made it four bogeys for the day and lahiri seriously needed to recover with a couple of birdies. He did find one on the concluding, par-four 18th hole but it was just not enough.

last year at the PGA Championship, lahiri had finished tied fifth, becoming India’s best ever performer at a major golf championship.

The Bengaluru golfer underwent a tough year as far as his performance at the majors is concerned. He finished tied 42nd in the Masters Championship before missing the cut at the US Open. Then at the British Open, he was tied 68th. And his performance here just extended the frustration before the Rio Olympic Games starting on August 5.

Meanwhile, American Jimmy Walker posted a second consecutive strong round, but countryman Robert Streb shot a remarkable seven-under 63 to grab a share of the lead at the halfway point of the tournament, reports Efe.

The 37-year-old Walker, who shot a 65 on Thursday, backed it up with a 66 in the second round of the final major on the 2016 calendar. Streb, however, joined him at the top of the leaderboard at nine-under 131 by shooting the low round of the tournament thus far, with eight birdies. His lone slip-up was a bogey on the par-three 16th hole. The two-day leading total of 131 ties the PGA Championship record for the low first 36 holes.
