KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. (Reuters) - Relentless Hideki Matsuyama shows no signs of a Masters hangover, only two strokes from the halfway lead at the PGA Championship.

Despite a bogey at the tough 18th hole, Matsuyama matched the day's best score, a four-under-par 68 in punishing winds at Kiawah Island, to finish the second round tied for fourth at three-under 141 on Friday.
