US PGA Championship prize money as Seamus Power targets monster payday

The winner of the US PGA Championship will pocket over €2million in prize money.

Chile’s Mito Pereira takes a three-shot lead into the final round at Southern Hills, with Ireland's Seamus Power six shots behind him on three under par.

On Saturday, Pereira went from one behind playing partner Will Zalatoris to four ahead in the space of six holes, then saw his lead cut to a single shot after four bogeys in five holes around the turn before back-to-back birdies on 13 and 14.

The 27-year-old from also birdied the last to card a 69 and finish nine under par, with Matt Fitzpatrick and Zalatoris – who recovered from playing his first seven holes in four over to return a 73 – on six under.

Power could earn a massive payday even if he doesn't win the tournament, with Rory McIlroy three shots further back behind him.

The Waterford man will play in the third last group on Sunday after a third round 67 at Southern Hills that had him top of the leaderboard for almost an hour.

Playing in just his second ever major after last month's Masters at Augusta, Power carded six birdies - four of which came in the final seven holes - and three bogeys.

The 35-year-old says he feels confident going into the final day and credited his caddie Simon Keelan for his advice on the course.

He told Sky Sports after his round: "You are basically learning a new course, so I needed Simon's help a lot out there. We did our best with it. Those birdies on the way in made all the difference.

"You're still hoping no one gets too far ahead on the back nine. My game feels good and today seeing a few putts going in towards the end feels nice and gives you confidence and hopefully that continues into tomorrow."
