Schauffele, Morikawa Lead Tight Race into Final Round of PGA Championship

Posted : 19 May 2024

Xander Schauffele anticipates another potential record-breaking round in the final day of the PGA Championship at Valhalla, where he shares the 54-hole lead with Collin Morikawa at 15-under 198. Schauffele, who tied the all-time low major round with a 62 on Thursday, expects the rain-softened course to enable low scores again, as Shane Lowry nearly broke the record with a 62 on Saturday. Schauffele believes that staying focused on his own game will be crucial for success amidst the competitive field.

 

Schauffele and Morikawa are among the 15 players who are 10-under or better, the most ever at this stage in a major. High-profile competitors like Jordan Spieth, Rory McIlroy, and world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler are within striking distance, setting the stage for an intense final round. Morikawa, aiming for his third major title, acknowledges the challenge but draws confidence from his past victories and plans to maintain sharp mental focus throughout the day.

 

Schauffele, looking for his first major victory, downplays the pressure but admits it would be significant to end his win drought since the 2022 Scottish Open. He emphasizes the advantage of leading over chasing in such a competitive field and highlights the need for effective putting to complement his strong ball-striking. Morikawa is prepared to adjust his strategy depending on the final holes' demands, aiming to make decisive moves if necessary. Both players are poised for a dramatic showdown as they vie for the coveted title.
