KOHLER, Wisconsin — Australian Jason Day used a red-hot run around the turn to seize a two-shot lead after a pulsating third round of low scoring at the PGA Championship on Saturday.
In pursuit of his first major victory after several close calls over the past five years, Day carded 66 in receptive conditions at Whistling Straits to post a 15-under total of 201.
The world number five picked up six shots in six holes from the ninth, and then rebounded from a double-bogey at the 15th by draining a curling 24-footer at the 17th before parring the last.
