Australia's Jason Day eagled the par-five 11th at Whistling Straits to seize the lead in the third-round of the 97th PGA Championship.

Day, who started the round two strokes behind compatriot Matt Jones, rolled in a 13-foot putt at the 563-yard 11th to move to 14-under, good enough for a one-stroke lead over Jones who birdied the same hole.
