Mito Pereira had never led a round in a PGA Tour event before Saturday. Yet, as he prepares to start the fourth round of the 2022 PGA Championship, he finds himself not only in contention for a major title, but also in the driver’s seat.
Pereira (-9) ended the third round with a three-stroke lead over Matt Fitzpatrick (-6) and Will Zalatoris (-6), two other golfers who have yet to win a PGA Tour event. The only golfer in the top five at the PGA Championship with any PGA Tour wins is Abraham Ancer, who won the 2021 WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational.
The biggest uncertainty heading into the final round at Southern Hills Country Club will be the weather conditions. The previous three days have offered different looks, ranging from scorching hot to cold and windy.

6:11 p.m.: Thomas drops in his iron shot within 10 feet of the pin at the 18, and with Pereira in trouble over at the 16th hole, Thomas could be in a position to make a leap really fast.

6:05 p.m.: Major trouble for Young on the 16th hole. He double bogeys and takes a tumble with only two holes left. Zalatoris also struggles as he bogeys on the hole. Now Thomas will take his second shot on the 18th hole a stroke behind Pereira.

5:36 p.m.: Pereira’s eagle putt is just a bit to the right on the 13th hole, but he’ll have an easy putt for a birdie. Young missed his par putt on the 14th, so Pereira could go up by two strokes quickly.

4:28 p.m.: Another bad luck shot for Zalatoris, as his iron shot on the nine hits the middle of the green and it takes a roll down. He keeps it on the green, but that will be a long putt coming up.
4:22 p.m.: Pereira bogeys the seventh hole as Zalatoris saves par on the eighth. He’s now just two strokes back.
4:19 p.m.: Good approach by Zalatoris on the eight gives him a chance to save par with the putt.

4:10 p.m.: Zalatoris bogeys the seventh hole. That pushes Pereira’s lead out to three strokes.
4:06 p.m.: Young’s shot on the seventh hole just misses the creek, and he makes the most of the narrow miss with a good approach that sets him up for a decent shot at par. Fitzpatrick makes a bogey on the six and Pereira makes the putt for par to stay two strokes ahead of Zalatoris.
4:05 p.m.: Pereira can’t make the long birdie putt, but he should have a short putt for par on the sixth hole.
4:04 p.m.: Second straight bogey for Ancer, who drops out of the top five.
4 p.m.: Costly shot by Fitzpatrick as his shot splashes into the creek on the sixth hole.
3:56 p.m.: Zalatoris goes from the cart path and makes a great putt to make bogey.
3:54 p.m.: Zalatoris has to take a shot from the cart path, and it’s a good one as he sends the ball out to just a few feet away from the tee. Makes the most of a tough situation.

3:48 p.m.: Pereira moves back to 9 under with a birdie on the fifth hole, and he has reclaimed the lead.

3:43 p.m.: Zalatoris’ iron shot on the sixth sails over the green and bounces past the gallery. The ball landed in the bushes behind the cart path. Tough break on the par 3 hole.

3:12 p.m.: McIlroy’s putt for birdie on the 11 stops just about a foot short. He’s still 3 under for the tournament.
3:04 p.m.: Webb Simpson birdies the fifth hole, and he’s now tied for fifth at 3 under. He’s had quite the turnaround from being 4 over after the first two rounds to dropping his score by seven strokes over his next 23 holes.
3:02 p.m.: Zalatoris has stayed even through the first two holes, as has Pereira. Still a three-stroke gap between the two for the lead.
2:49 p.m.: Fitzpatrick just misses the putt for par, while Pereira makes his putt. Fitzpatrick stays with the bogey, but is now four strokes behind Pereira.

2:02 p.m.: Rough chip shot by McIlroy, as he remains still several yards away from the hole. He’ll have a long putt for par, and could be looking at his first bogey.
2 p.m.: The career grand slam hopes will have to wait another year for Spieth, who putts for par on the 18 to end his PGA Championship at 4 over.
1:58 p.m.: McIlroy’s tee shot at the sixth hole is wide right of the green. Not a great start on the par 3 hole.
1:55 p.m.: Another birdie by McIlroy, his fourth straight, and he’s entered the top five. The two-time PGA Championship winner is making a late push.
