The third round of the PGA Championship was hit by delays, first as the second round needed to be concluded on Saturday morning, and then when the start of play was hit by thick fog.
Some things are worth waiting for, though, with the third round getting underway at 11.28 ET (4.28 BST) with groups of three. There are some eye-catching groupings to look forward to through the rest of the day, too.
Among the highlights are overnight leader Xander Schauffele, who is grouped with Collin Morikawa and Sahith Theegala, with a start time of 1.40 ET (6.40 BST).
The story of the day yesterday was Scottie Scheffler’s arrest before play had even begun. He still made it back for his second round, and played brilliantly despite the ordeal of earlier with a 66 to leave him just three shots behind the overnight leader. He is grouped with Thomas Detry and Mark Hubbard, and they begin their third rounds at 1.29 ET (6.29 BST).
Even though Rory McIlroy wasn’t quite at his best on Friday, he still wouldn’t have given up hope of fifth Major title when he headed back to the clubhouse seven behind Schauffele. McIlroy is grouped with Alejandro Tosti and Doug Ghim, with a tee time of 12.12 ET (5.12 BST).
There is still a real possibility that, for the second year running, a LIV Golf player could lift the trophy, with Bryson DeChambeau looking the most likely finishing his second round three shots off the lead. He tees it up alongside Austin Eckroat and Viktor Hovland at 1.18 ET (6.18 BST).
Defending champion Brooks Koepka also remains in the hunt five shots back. He gets started at 12.45 ET (5.45 BST) in a group with Taylor Moore and Aaron Rai.
