PGA Championship at a glance

Australia’s Matt Jones had a Tin Cup moment Saturday when he had to hit from a hospitality tent on the ninth hole during the third round of the PGA Championship. He wasn’t aiming at a pelican like Kevin Costner’s character in the movie, but his shot found the fringe.

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. – Here’s a glance at the third round of the PGA Championship at 7,501-yard, par-72 Whistling Straits:

Leading: Jason Day, who shot 66 for a 15-under 201 total.

Pursuing: Jordan Spieth, seeking his third major of the year, was two strokes back, with Brenden Grace and Justin Rose another shot back.

Tracking Tiger: Woods left the building after shooting 73 and missing the cut. It was the first time he missed the cut in three majors in the same year.

Key stat: Spieth is 50-under par for the three majors. Woods finished 53-under in the four majors in 2000.

Noteworthy: Day has had at least a share of the lead at all three majors this year.

Quoteworthy: “It was quite exciting up there.” – Shannon Wallis, caddie for Matt Jones, about the pair’s trip to a hospitality tent alongside No. 9 to play the golfer’s second shot off the artificial turf.
