OAKMONT, Pa. – Sergio Garcia battled hard to the end Friday to give himself a weekend chance to win his first major championship.
After moving up the leaderboard with some brilliant ball-striking in a grueling 36-hole marathon day of golf at Oakmont Country Club, Garcia used his putter to keep himself there. He set off a roar at his last hole of the day, burying a 51-foot putt to save par.
At 2-under 138, Garcia left the course tied for fourth in the suspended second round, just two shots behind the leaders, Dustin Johnson and Andrew Landry.
