Southern Hills Country Club

Southern Hills Country Club received almost a half-inch of rain Saturday morning as thunderstorms rolled through the Tulsa area.

As the name suggests, Southern Hills is covered by slopes and there is a creek that works through several holes, so the course drains well. However, with dangerous weather still in the area early Saturday morning, the PGA of America pushed starting times for the third round back 37 minutes, with the first player, Brian Harman, teeing off alone at 7:37 a.m. Central Time. Friday’s forecast had originally called for storms to start arriving in the area as the last players were completing their second round, but the rain held off and play was completed.

Mito Pereira enters the final round of the PGA Championship with the lead. But there are plenty of others in striking distance. Who has a chance and who ...

He ranks third in strokes gained: off the tee (4.488) and has hit 34 of 42 fairways this week. But then he had four bogeys on the back, including three in the last four holes. Thomas, who was trying to add a second Wanamaker Trophy to his only major victory at the 2017 PGA Championship, had his chances to make up ground Saturday. But he had three bogeys on each side, with just two birdies, and shot 4-over 74. "Phil is his own guy, for sure, and he's one of the best the game has ever seen. Ancer was born in Texas and played at the University of Oklahoma, so he knows how to handle the swirling winds. He carded birdies on four of the last seven holes and shot 3-under 67. On Sunday, he'll be in the next-to-last group at a major championship, trying to erase a 4-shot deficit. Fitzpatrick, from England, is 17th in the Official World Golf Ranking. He is the highest-ranked player without a PGA Tour victory. One of them was John Daly, who had a 3-shot lead and won the 1991 PGA Championship. The other was Jean Van de Velde, who had a 5-shot advantage going into the final round of The Open in 1999. He led the field through the first two rounds, but ran into problems early in the third. Chile's Mito Pereira moved to 9 under after the third round and is the first player since John Daly in 1991 to hold the outright 54-hole lead in his PGA Championship debut. Playing in just his second major, Pereira leads the field in strokes gained: putting (2.344). He has done just about everything else well through the first 54 holes, too.

Mito Pereira of Chile birdied three of the final six holes of the third round for a 1-under-par 69 and a three-shot lead in the PGA Championship as golfers.

Two of his shots ended up in the water. “I noticed a massive difference, obviously less guys on the course, and the greens are much smoother,” Power said. He was 2 under for the round through five holes, but he had four bogeys before his next birdie came at No. 13. Watson made an early charge before playing the backside in 4 over. “I didn’t hit many good shots. Fitzpatrick and Young posted 67s, while Zalatoris shot 73.

TULSA, Okla. – A bruised sky, chilly temps and soft ground the result of overnight storms greeted Tiger Woods when he arrived at Southern Hills Country Club ...

He hit just six fairways and six greens in regulation on a day the thermometer never hit 60 and it really felt like it didn’t hit 50. I didn’t hit the ball very well and got off to not the start I needed to get off to,” he said. His worst stretch began at the sixth and didn’t stop until he left the 13th green. Already in pain before he began his warmup, Woods experienced one of the most dire days he’s ever spent on a golf course as he signed for a 9-over 79. He made a triple-bogey 6 on the downhill par-3 sixth. Still, it was the four-time Wanamaker Trophy winner’s highest score in a PGA by two strokes.
