PGA Championship 2015 Leaderboard: Latest Scores and Standings from Saturday
If Jordan Spieth wants to make history by winning his third major of the year at the 2015 PGA Championship, he has some catching up to do.
Despite the fact he's sitting at six under after two rounds—36 holes that spilled over into Saturday morning for several golfers after inclement weather halted play Friday evening—Spieth is five shots back of halfway-mark leader Matt Jones.
The Aussie wrapped up his second round Saturday as well, lowering his score to an incredible 11 under. Jones avoided any major errors in Round 2, notching seven birdies without a bogey to speak of. It was an improvement over his first round, where he notched five birdies but had one bogey. Consistency is key in any major, and Jones appears to have found his stroke.
Here's a look at the live leaderboard from Saturday.
Jones' performance is made all the more remarkable by his relative lack of experience at majors. He may be 35 years old, but he's only participated in majors a handful of times. His best finish came at this year's British Open, where he tied for 30th.
ESPN's Jason Sobel noted the second-round action spilling into the third day might be a boon for Jones:
He may already have proven he has the mettle to keep a steady course for the remainder of this tournament, considering he was tied for the lead at nine under once play was suspended Friday. Sleeping on the lead after a truncated round didn't prevent him from closing out the round with aplomb.
Separating Spieth from Jones' lofty perch are PGA stalwarts such as Justin Rose and Jason Day, as well as a smattering of unheralded golfers such as David Lingmerth, Anirban Lahiri and Tony Finau. The Texas native will also have to keep an eye on who's rocketing up the standings from behind.
After shooting back-to-back 71s to open the tournament, Rory McIlroy has put together a scorching start to Round 3. Through the first five holes, he notched two birdies and an eagle, moving him to six under.
Here's a look at this well-traveled eagle putt, via PGA.com on Twitter:
McIlroy is coming off an ankle injury that kept him out of the British Open, so it will be interesting to see how his body holds up through the weekend. He's shown little sign of his ankle being a problem so far.

As Spieth looks to create a new world order in golf—in addition to capturing his third major, the 22-year-old will be looking to oust McIlroy from the world No. 1 ranking—some of the most recognizable names in golf with long track records of success have had difficult tournaments.
Tiger Woods couldn't make the cut after shooting four over for two rounds. Woods also missed the cuts at both the U.S. and British Opens after a somewhat promising start to this year's run at the Masters, where he finished tied for 17th. Despite the poor showing, Woods felt he gleaned something from the effort.
"I finally figured something out today on the putting green, but the damage had already been done," Woods said, via Yahoo Sports' Kevin Kaduk. "Finally rolled the ball coming in, and unfortunately it was too little too late."
Phil Mickelson was nowhere near the top of the standings sporting a two-round score of 145. He only just barely made the cut, but that hasn't stopped him from showing off his weekend-warrior skills by notching eight birdies and improving to four under after 15 holes Saturday.
Three bogeys have kept him from putting any real pressure on the leaders, but it remains to be seen how the tournament's strongest players up to this point hold up with veteran golfers moving up the leaderboard and setting up what should be a wild final day of golf Sunday.
