Star Power At The Top Of The BMW PGA Championship Leaderboard

At Wentworth, Matsuyama posted a 64 to reach 12-under and lead at the halfway stage, making his debut in the European tour's flagship event.
Europe's Ryder Cup stars Viktor Hovland, Ludvig Aberg, and Justin Rose are preparing with Matsuyama ahead of later this month, with 11 team members competing this week.
Viktor Hovland, Norwegian contender, fired a second-round 66 with a 44-foot eagle at the 18th hole to reach 11 under par, while Ludvig Aberg, Sweden, and Justin Rose, England, also performed strongly.
With Matsuyama setting the pace, the weekend at Wentworth is poised for a compelling prelude to Bethpage Black as Europe's Ryder Cup stars stay close behind.
Luke Donald said at the September 1st press conference that he was happy to be chosen European Ryder Cup captain again and picked Shane Lowry for his dedication and energy despite missing automatic qualification.
