Ryan Gerard surges to two-stroke lead at BMW PGA Championship, Tommy Fleetwood among notables to miss cut

Ryan Gerard shot a 7-under 65 on Friday, finishing with an eagle-birdie on the closing par 5s at Wentworth to take a two-stroke lead at 12-under at the BMW PGA Championship. Notable players Patrick Reed, Tommy Fleetwood, and Jon Rahm all missed the cut and will not compete over the weekend. Gerard, ranked 21st in the world and third at last month's Tour Championship, was not selected by U.S. Captain Brandt Snedeker for the Presidents Cup roster despite his strong recent form.
