BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich. --- Tiger Woods can only watch the PGA Championship on TV, if he so chooses, as he recovers from season-ending knee surgery after winning the U.S. Open.
That left British Open champion Padraig Harrington and Masters Tournament winner Trevor Immelma n as the only players in the PGA Championship field with a chance to win multiple majors this year.
Now, it's just Harrington.
Harrington shot 74 Friday at Oakland Hills to make the second-round cut at 5-over, or six shots back. Immelman wasn't as fortunate, struggling for the second consecutive day and finishing at 13-over.
A year ago, Harrington found out how exhausting it is to win the British Open. He just hasn't figured out a way to play through it because he's just as worn out after repeating.
"I've just run out of steam," he said. "What can I say? I haven't got the focus this week. Obviously, I'm still just having a hangover after winning the Open. I think I need to spend 24 hours in bed."
JUST CUTTING IT: Jim Furyk made one of the two birdies on the 498-yard, par-4 18th Friday and his was huge.
It got him to 8-over 148 -- good enough to make the cut on the number -- after he had four bogeys and two doubles during a 7-over second round.
Robert Allenby birdied three of his last four holes for 72 that left him on the cut line.
South African Charl Schwartzel made a remarkable run to make the cut by a stroke with six birdies in a seven-hole stretch on his back nine.
U.S. Ryder Cup captain Paul Azinger also made it. He's the first active captain to make the cut since Tom Kite in 1997.
U.S. Open runner-up Rocco Mediate will start the third round at 8-over, surviving a round putting on what he called a "brown and nasty," surface.
KENTUCKY BLUES: Woody Austin thinks his Ryder Cup chances are over.
Austin shot a second consecutive 79 Friday and at 18-over, missed the cut by 10 shots in his last chance to lock up one of the automatic spots on the U.S. team.
"I embarrassed myself out there," Austin said. "It's like I forgot how to play golf. I looked like a 20 handicap."
Austin entered the week ninth in Ryder Cup points, which would have been good enough in past years.
This year, though, Azinger will have four captain's picks to go along with eight automatic slots.
