PGA championship: Scottie Scheffler increases at the top of the ranking while the tournament goes to the final round

The day of moving to the PGA 2025 championship saw the early thunderstorms turning to Sunny Skies while featuring the real classic excitement fans claimed the first two days of the tournament at the Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, in North Carolina.
And it all started with a player – Scottie Scheffler.
The world n ° 1 is back to do things on the expected golf course.
The 28 -year -old has propelled himself on the top of the ranking after having drawn a scholarship of 65 under the day, leaving him a peer of 11 sous for the tournament.
He sits three shots in front of Alex Noren, who pulled 5 under the peer of Saturday in the third round on Saturday to get 8 under the tournament.
Scheffler is now 18 holes to do something he has never done – win a major who is not the masters.
The double winner won in Augusta National twice in 2022 and 2024.
Scheffler said it would “mean a lot” to bring a third major championship home.
“These tournaments are very important for us, and you work all your life to have a chance to earn major tournaments, any tournament elsewhere, and tomorrow I have a good opportunity to go there and try to win the golf tournament,” Scheffler told Patrick Snell from CNN after the tour.
“But it will take another very good tour. There are many great players who continue me in the ranking and someone will set up an excellent tour and it’s up to me to go there and have another very good tour and finish the tournament. I can’t wait to take up the challenge.”
Scheffler would become the 48th player in the history of golf to win three or more majors.
Scheffler and Noren will pass together on Sunday at 2:40 p.m. on Sunday.
The first two laps saw an unlikely name claim the top of the ranking.
Jhonattan Vegas.
After having become the first Venezuelan to hold his head or to co-drive in an adult, Vegas sought to win his first victory in one of the most popular tournaments in golf.
On Saturday, it turned out to be more difficult than not for the 40 -year -old.
Vegas drew 2 on normal to tumble the classification to equality for fifth place with the golf star of Liv Jon Rahm and if Woo Kim.
Although he is seated five steps to scheffle, Vegas can always do something he has never done in his golf career.
Get your first top 20 to a major.
“This is why the golf course is the worst word to four letters in the world,” Bryson Dechambeau told the journalists after the third round on Saturday who saw his lead out quickly as quickly as he came.
The golf star Liv entered the 16th hole t-shirt box with a pure and simple head at hand after having flowed five birdies in turn to reach 8 sous and an advance at a blow on Vegas and Davis Riley at the time.
However, the infamous “Green Mile” of Quail Hollow ate and recruited him, which led to this advance by disappearing and potentially never returning.
A bogey on the 16th, a double bogey on the 17th saw it falling 5 sous and sitting on equal for 8th place entering the final of Sunday.
Dechambeau said that the wind took into account the bad finish in the turn, but added that it “would control what it can control” with a lot of soil to catch up.
“It was just an unfortunate series of events I can manage. It’s just, it’s golf. Sometimes it happens,” said Dechambeau.
The 31 -year -old will start with Tony Finau at 2 p.m. HE.
