After a week of frost, wind and torrential rain the sun returned to the PGA Championship on Sunday and so have the low scores, setting the stage for a final round shootout as overnight leader Brooks Koepka launched his bid for a Wanamaker Trophy hat-trick.
Winner of four majors including back-to-back PGA Championships in 2018 and 2019, Koepka sparkled in tough, rainy conditions on Saturday to climb atop the leaderboard one clear of Norway's Viktor Hovland and Canada's Corey Conners.
Koepka teed off with his one-shot lead over playing partner Hovland and Conners intact but behind them the pack was charging up the leaderboard. The day could be remembered as watershed moment for LIV Golf with two of its standard bearers Koepka and DeChambeau in position to deliver the controversial Saudi-bankrolled circuit some major validation.
Right behind the two leading pairs are some of golf's biggest names, including world number two Scottie Scheffler and number three Rory McIlroy, who are on the fringe of contention.
