CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — A brief look at the third round Saturday of the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow (all times EDT):
LEADING: Scottie Scheffler with a 6-under 65 to reach 11-under 202.
CHASING: Alex Noren birdied four of his last five holes for a 66 and was three shots behind.
LIV HOPES: Jon Rahm (67) was five shots behind and Bryson DeChambeau (69) was six shots behind. LIV Golf players have won a major each of the last two years.
SHOT OF THE DAY: Scheffler hit 3-wood on the 304-yard 14th hole to just inside 3 feet for an eagle on the 14th hole. That started a closing stretch he played 5 under in the last five holes.
THE WAITING GAME: Rory McIlroy and Xander Schauffele were scheduled to play as a twosome at 8:25 a.m. Morning storms delayed tee times and the tournament switched to threesomes off both tees. They didn’t tee off until 1:38 p.m. Both shot 72 and were 13 shot back.
KEY STATISTIC: Only four players in the last 30 years have rallied from three shots or more in the final round to win the PGA Championship.
NOTEWORTHY: Scheffler shot 65 for the fourth time in a PGA Championship to share the record with Adam Scott. This is only Scheffler’s sixth appearance.
QUOTEWORTHY: “It’s up to me to go out there and have another really good round and finish off the tournament.” — Scheffler.
TELEVISION: Sunday, 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. (ESPN+), 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. (ESPN), 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. (CBS).
