CHARLOTTE, N.C. Playing in just his ninth career major and sitting only two shots off the lead at the halfway point of the PGA Championship, you might expect Chris Stroud to show some nerves. But guess again.Stroud was the last man to qualify for this weeks field, gaining entry with his playoff win Sunday at the opposite-field Barracuda Championship. It was his first PGA Tour trophy and it came in his 290th career start. The victory allowed Stroud to approach this weeks event at Quail Hollow Club as a bonus he didnt expect to receive.The 35-year-old picked up right where he left off, carding the only bogey-free score of the opening round and then turning in another 3-under 68 in Round 2. Stroud had the last tee time on Friday and had to return to the course at 7:30 a.m. ET Saturday to complete the final five holes of his round. But even after some hectic cross-country travel to get here he is no worse for wear.My caddies worn out, but I told him Im using less energy than I ever have on the golf course because Im not wearing myself out mentally, Stroud said. Im strolling down the fairway. Im using very little effort and Im not changing anything in my golf swing. Just a couple things I try to do every time, and then see what happens. Its just as little energy as possible.Stroud has never finished inside the top 40 at a major, but now hell start the third round in a tie for third, two behind co-leaders Hideki Matsuyama and Jason Day. With the field again grouped in threesomes, hell play alongside major champ Louis Oosthuizen and former Ryder Cupper Francesco Molinari. But Stroud doesnt expect to shrink from the spotlight in a tournament he thought six days ago hed be watching from the couch.Im going to enjoy it, Stroud said. Im going to watch these guys get nervous and put too much pressure on themselves, because Ive been there. Ive been there too many times, and Im just going to enjoy it and stay distracted.
