PGA Championship leaderboard LIVE: Scottie Scheffler crushes field to win third major title
The world No 1 was chased by Jon Rahm among others but proved too good for the rest at Quail Hollow
Scottie Scheffler crushed the field to clinch his first PGA Championship and the third major title of his career.
Scheffler began the day three shots ahead of his nearest rival, Alex Noren, and the world No 1 got away with some wild tee shots as the chasing pack failed to capitalise.
Eventually Jon Rahm came to the fore, briefly sharing the lead with Scheffler, but his challenge fell apart over the final three holes as Scheffler stormed clear.

DeChambeau misses the first green left, but chips beautifully and leaves three feet for par.

Bryson DeChambeau (-5) booms his first tee shot down the fairway and he’s perfectly positioned.
Up ahead, Matt Fitzpatrick makes bogey at the first after missing the green left and drops back to four under.

-8 Noren
-7 Riley, Poston
-6 Rahm, Kim, Vegas
McIlroy ends his PGA Championship
Rory McIlroy finishes on three over par for the tournament. Not his best form this week, and it just never clicked for him. Plenty of time, though, before his home Open Championship at Portrush to tune his game.
Fitzpatrick begins his final round
Matt Fitzpatrick (-5) is wearing Sunday red as he bids to shoot a low score that could throw him into the mix. His tee shot on the first finds the fairway, and he’s off.

DeChambeau warms up for 7pm BST tee time
Bryson DeChambeau is warming up as he prepares his bid on Sunday. Scottie Scheffler is the overwhelming favourite but if anyone can pull off a stunning turnaround, it’s Bryson.
Quail Hollow ripe for scoring on Sunday
Xander Schauffele and Sam Burns, playing together, are both five under today through 15 holes. If that is an indication of the scoring potential, we could be in for some seriously low numbers among the leaders.

We’re getting towards the business end of this PGA Championship Sunday, so here’s a reminder of the top of the leaderboard.
-11 Scheffler (65)
-8 Noren (66)
-7 Riley (67), Poston (68)
-6 Rahm (67), Kim (71), Pavon (71), Vegas (73)
McIlroy wayward on 14
Rory McIlroy is level for the day but in a spot of trouble on the par-four 14th, where he’s found the water with his tee shot. He chips close, though, and he’ll have a chance to putt for par.
Garcia expects low scores
Sergio Garcia finishes on seven over par after two good rounds and two bad ones, and the Spaniard gives his post-round verdict on the course.
“It’s probably the easiest it’s ever gonna get, 90 per cent of the pins are in the middle of the green, not much wind, so I think there’ll be some low scores this afternoon.
“I expect Scottie to shoot at least three under, so Jon [Rahm] is going to have to shoot eight, nine or 10 under to win.”
