LOUISVILLE Kentucky (Reuters) - Thanks to a few painkillers, Canada's Graham DeLaet was able to transform what began as an ominous morning at Valhalla Golf Club on Friday into his best performance in a major at the PGA Championship.

The 32-year-old from Saskatchewan had to take medication after feeling a kink in his neck while warming up for the second round and, with his movement limited, was convinced he would be destined to miss the cut.
