Justin Rose endured a tricky second round of the PGA Championship on Friday, shooting a three-over 73.<\/p>\n

That followed his even-par 70 on day one at Aronimink to take his total to three-over, just below the projected cut line of two-over at the time he entered the clubhouse, which quickly changed to three-over.<\/p>\n

The Englishman is chasing his second career major win this week, and holed out for eagle from distance at the very last to give himself a great chance of making the weekend.<\/p>\n

But Rose<\/a> has been far from his best at this year\u2019s PGA Championship<\/a>, where his irons have understandably come under the spotlight.<\/p>\n

He put new McLaren irons in his bag ahead of the Cadillac Championship two weeks ago, which he discussed after his second round at Aronimink<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Justin Rose admits problem at the PGA Championship<\/p>\n

Asked on Sky Sports Golf<\/a> how he feels going into the weekend, he said: \u201cOh my God, two more days of that!<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, obviously it is a good opportunity to go and find something. I have been hitting everything right off the tee, not being able to stay in posture or stay in my shots.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am losing everything to the right, no start line or club face control. It has been a bit of a struggle out there, for sure, but I want to find it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like there is a score to be had out there for sure, I can kind of see it on this course. It\u2019s a course I have played well in the past, it fits my eye, I like it.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I can go and post two good rounds on the weekend, it\u2019s been such a fun leaderboard. So many guys are within two or three shots of the lead.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I can stick around at the weekend, I feel like I can still have a great week.\u201d<\/p>\n

And discussing his new irons, he said: \u201cThat is the best part of my game at the minute! Putting has been hit and miss, I have holed some good putts but not enough.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately I am just not putting the ball in play off the tee at the minute. So I have not given it much opportunity out of the fairway right now.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been an area of my game which has created some attention I suppose, but it has been part of my plan for a long, long time and something I have been thinking of for a long time.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been excited to finally do it. But unfortunately not playing well to back it up. So hopefully put my ball in the fairway and then I can show off a little bit!\u201d<\/p>\n

It was an intriguing decision from Rose to say the least, given both his impressive efforts just before the switch and indeed the timing of it.<\/p>\n

He had only just finished in a tie for third at The Masters, again narrowly missing out to Rory McIlroy after losing to his Ryder Cup teammate in a playoff at Augusta in 2025.<\/p>\n

The Englishman went on to finish T65 at the Cadillac Championship and T45 at the Truist Championship, with a much better result now being eyed at Aronimink.<\/p>\n

Rose shocked fans with his irons switch<\/a>, but the very experienced 45-year-old clearly thinks they will benefit him going forward.<\/p>\n
