Scheffler Storms Into Three-shot Lead At PGA Championship
American Bryson DeChambeau: World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler stormed into a three-shot lead at the PGA Championship ahead of Sunday's final round at Quail Hollow. He carded a superb round of 65 - playing his final five holes in five under - to end the day on 11 under par for the tournament.
Sweden's Alex Noren holds solo second spot on eight under, making birdies on four of his final five holes to shoot 66. Spain's Jon Rahm and American Bryson DeChambeau both briefly held the lead before finishing at six under and five under par, respectively.
Scheffler stood on the 14th tee, 304 yards from the hole. It was nearly perfect, the ball climbing onto the green and settling just inside 3 feet away. The eagle put him atop the leaderboard for good and started a closing stretch that was nothing short of a clinic, 5 under over the last five holes. It sent him to a 6-under 65 and a three-shot lead as Scheffler closed in on a third major championship, PGA Tour reports.
