Collin Morikawa went to sleep with a share of the lead at the PGA Championship. He's well-aware that by the time he reaches the first tee box for the final round, he might not have it anymore. A low-scoring third round left a record 15 players at double-digits under par and within five shots of Morikawa and Schauffele heading into the finale at Valhalla Golf Club, which has mostly been soft, still and defenseless all week. Among the many with a chance to overtake Morikawa before he hits his first shot are Sahith Theegala, who is one shot out of the lead. And Shane Lowry, who shot 62 and will start the day two shots behind.

Shane Lowry tied a major championship record by firing a 9-under 62 in the third round of the PGA Championship. The 37-year-old Irishman recorded nine birdies without a bogey at a very gettable Valhalla to match the lowest round ever in any of the four major tournaments. Four players had previously posted a 62 across the PGA, Masters, British Open and U.S. Open, the latest by Xander Schauffele in the opening round on Thursday. Just over 48 hours later Lowry matched it to thrust himself into contention for his second major title.
Schauffele and Morikawa are tied at the PGA Championship with a lot of company, except for Scheffler

Xander Schauffele and Collin Morikawa are tied for the lead at the PGA Championship going into the final round and they have a lot of company. Low scoring at Valhalla allows for that. Shane Lowry had the second 62 this week. That ties a major championship record. Bryson DeChambeau and Viktor Hovland are within two shots. Fifteen players are separated by five shots. Missing was Scottie Scheffler. He faded early and never recovered. His 73 ends 42 consecutive rounds at par or better. And now he's nine shots behind. Schauffele and Morikawa lead Sahith Theegala by one.

Justin Rose had a pretty good seat while playing partner Shane Lowry went super low in the third round of the PGA Championship. Rose nearly matched Lowry shot for shot. While Lowry tied a record with a 9-under 62, Rose posted a 7-under 64 to get to 12-under for the tournament and three back of co-leaders Collin Morikawa and Xander Schauffele heading into the final round at Valhalla. Rose's lone major win came at the 2013 U.S. Open, though he has finished in the top 10 at the PGA five times since 2015.
Rough return to 'normal' sends Scheffler down the leaderboard at PGA Championship

Scottie Scheffler arrived at the golf course in plenty of time. Once he got there, nothing really worked. A day after he powered through his odyssey to the jailhouse, then back to the course just in time to get to the opening tee box, Scheffler enjoyed a more regular schedule but struggled to keep things together at the PGA Championship. He shot 2-over 73 in the third round to finish at 7 under for the tournament and drop from fourth to a tie for 24th. It snapped a string of 42 straight rounds of par or better.

Nelly Korda shot 7-under 65 Saturday and will take a two-stroke lead over Hannah Green into the final round of the Mizuho Americas Open in a bid to win for the sixth time in her last seven events on the LPGA Tour. After seeing Rose Zhang snap her tour record-tying five tournament winning streak in the Cognizant Founders Cup last week, the top-ranked Korda has gotten better every round in posting a 13-under 203 total on Liberty National. Green shot a 63 early Saturday, the best round in the two-year history of the tournament.
Scottie Scheffler, from the course to jail and back: What to know about his PGA Championship arrest
Will Graves, Associated Press | Updated May 18 - 10:46 a.m. | Save Story
The world's top-ranked golfer played in the second round of the PGA Championship just hours after being arrested following a traffic incident. Scheffler was detained by police in the predawn hours outside Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky. Police say Scheffler illegally tried to get by the scene of an accident where a pedestrian was killed. He was placed in handcuffs and charged with multiple counts, including second-degree assault of an officer who police say was dragged by Scheffler's car. Scheffler was released and returned to the course in time to begin his round as scheduled. The sequence was jarring to the 27-year-old, who has cultivated an image as a wholesome family man since rising to stardom after winning the 2022 Masters.
Scheffler looks to the weekend after a long, strange day at the PGA Championship

The only quibble about Scottie Scheffler's recent domination on the golf scene was that perhaps he was too normal and maybe not quite exciting enough to capture the attention of millions on a week-in, week-out basis. For nine gripping hours on Day 2 of a PGA Championship that began with Scheffler in a jail cell and ended with his name near the top of the leaderboard, the world's best player turned in a reality-TV performance more riveting than any Netflix miniseries or episode of "Law & Order." Scheffler heads into the weekend only three shots out of the lead. How he recovers from one of the strangest days of his life will dictate how the next two days go at Valhalla.

Scottie Scheffler is right in the thick of contention at the PGA Championship. That's the only sliver of normalcy on a day that was beyond belief. The world's No. 1 player was in handcuffs and arrested on charges of assault for not following police instructions. They were investigating a fatal accident. He was trying to get into Valhalla. He was in jail. And then Scheffler shot a 66. Xander Schauffele had a 68 and was leading Collin Morikawa by one shot as the second round was ending. Tiger Woods missed the cut. They were mere footnotes.

Perspective was even harder to come by than birdies through all the raindrops, bourbon and cigar smoke that streamed across golf's biggest stage during one of the sport's most bizarre mornings ever. By the time the world's best player, Scottie Scheffler, had been booked into jail, had his mug shot taken, his police statement recorded, his release secured, entrepreneurs near Valhalla Golf Club were already selling "Free Scottie" T-shirts outside. Fans were already wearing them inside. Amid all that, Scheffler shot a 5-under 66 and left the course tied for third in the PGA Championship. He called it one of the better rounds of his life, considering the circumstances.

A historically low cut line led to some early exits for some big names at the PGA Championships. Jon Rahm's run of 18 straight made cuts in majors ended when he posted a 1-over 72 during the second round at soggy Valhalla. That left Rahm at even par, one shot outside the projected cutline of 1-under. Wyndham Clark, Phil Mickelson and Ludvig Aberg also found themselves heading home. The 1 under cutline was the highest in 106 PGA Championships and tied for the lowest ever at a major.
