PGA Championship Round 3 wrap up
Perhaps the most important stat heading into the final round is this: 14-0. That stat would be Tiger's record with a share or the lead out right in a major after 54 holes. While his 1 under par round allowed others to narrow the gap he still has a 2 shot lead going into the final round. Y.E Yang shot up the leaderboard with superb putting and bolted himself into a final round paring with Woods. Paddy also had a solid day with a round of 69 and also with in 2 of Tiger's lead. Vijay looked....well.......terrible on the back nine as he stumbeled in with a 40 on the back side after a 35 on the front. His putter abandoned him as did his hopes of winning the PGA chapmionship. Ernie Els got to with in 1 after the 15th but then bogeyed the last 3 leaving him at -3 for the tournament and 5 back. Yes he will be dissapointed with his finish, as he should be, but considering a round 1 75 he has rebounded nicely. Saturday at the PGA proved how hard it is to catch Tiger and on Sunday in a major ir becomes that much harder.......just ask those who have done it........wait what's that..........ohhh right no one has. However if anyone seems like they could it would be Paddy Harrington. He will be a group ahead of Woods but has an opportunity to make roars of his own and be a force to be reconed with on the back side. I really don't like Y.E> Yang's chances at all for one main reason.......he has never played with Tiger much less on a Sunday in the final group of a major. Bottom line whoever makes a run at Tiger will have to do exactly that...catch him because he will not come back to the feild. Is Tiger a lock?......not quite but any challenger will have to probably be at least 3 under for thier final round. It should be a great finish and drama is sure to be had at "Glory's last shot" -Kyle
