Scottie Scheffler took command of the PGA Championship on Saturday, eagling the 14th hole to take a three-shot lead over the rest of the field at 11-under par. He followed that up with birdies on holes 15, 17, and 18.
Key Highlights
- Eagle on 14th Hole: Scheffler’s tee shot landed just short of the green, bouncing forward and rolling onto the surface like a putt. His ensuing eagle putt was a formality, tying him for the lead at eight-under par.
- Consistent Play: Prior to his eagle, Scheffler carded consecutive pars, solidifying his commanding position atop the leaderboard with four hours remaining before the final round.
Justin Thomas also made a move back into contention, largely due to his own eagle, but for now, Scottie Scheffler stands alone atop the leaderboard heading into Sunday morning’s round.
Tournament Overview
The tournament has seen significant changes throughout its first three rounds:
- Jon Rahm: Initially led a group that included Collin Morikawa, Viktor Hovland, and Jordan Spieth. By late Friday afternoon, Rahm finished six under par overall after birdies on holes 16 and 17, but stumbled with a bogey on No. 17.
- Bryson DeChambeau: Experienced double-bogey trouble, leaving him seven strokes adrift from leader Scottie Scheffler entering the final round.
Player Insights
Rahm expressed his concerns about being behind after finishing Saturday’s round, stating, “I’m assuming I’ll be at least one shot back starting tomorrow.”
As it stands, the current deficit between Rahm and Scheffler is five shots, with Bryson DeChambeau following closely behind at four under par.
The stage is set for an exciting final round as players vie for The Wanamaker Trophy.
