98th PGA Championship: Andrew Johnston keen to eradicate errors
Last Updated: 29/07/16 7:20pm
Crowd favourite Andrew 'Beef' Johnston shot a second-round 69 and sits on one under for the championship at Baltusrol.
The Englishman was disappointed with his putting during his opening round but felt he was much improved in that department on day two as he made four birdies and he is now looking to push on over the weekend.
"I played nice," he said. "I putted much better today. It was nice to finish the back nine, 4-4, birdie the last two on that nine.
"Then coming back, I didn't do too much wrong. I'm trying to think of the bogey I made, I hit a putt and it was on fire, it was so quick.
"I've just got to try to make a few less mistakes tomorrow and then keep doing what I'm doing. I'm hitting the ball nice. I've just got to cut out a few poor shots. But it's golf and keep battling, man, as always."
Heavy rain delayed play for a time earlier in the day and Johnston was pleased with the way he adapted to the change of conditions after the restart.
"It changes so quick," he added. "Yesterday, it was quite firm. Balls are releasing out on the greens. And now, you're trying to work out, okay, man, I've got to hit this 10 yards past the pin for it to spin back. So you've just got to be wary.
"That's one thing I learned at Oakmont, and after that rain on Thursday, I didn't adjust quick enough to it, and I kept coming up a bit short, so I was wary of it today.
"It was all about being careful and trying to pick your moments when to hit it."
