Five Things We Learned Saturday at the PGA Championship

Published

May 22, 2022

It’s hard to say whether the weather outsmarted the grounds crew, but after the low rounds of Friday, something gave. Were the greens a bit slicker? Were the hole locations more wily? After those low 60s numbers on day two, the only way to earn one on day three was to skip the last hole or two. We learned oh so much on day three at the 2022 PGA Championship. We’ll wittle it down to five facts, but we should love to share more thoughts with you. Perhaps at a later date, we will reconvene. For now, have a look at our handsome handful of honoraria for hours 48-72 at Southern Hills.

5. Is half a Tiger better than …

A 79? Probably, but that’s what our favorite cat had to accept on Saturday. After reaching ten over par on the day through 13 holes, the spirits of the fairway conceded one birdie to keep him out of the 80s. Tiger hadn’t seen the 80s since he turned 14 in 1989. This was a dispirited performance, one that reminded us of just how injured he was in 2021, and how lame his leg still is. Around 7:30 pm, it was announced that Woods had withdrawn from the tournament.

4. Hey, Roomie!

Turns out that second-round leader Will Zalatoris and well-bearded Cameron Young were roomies at Wake Forest not so long ago. Zalatoris struggled on Saturday, but balanced the ship with birdie at 17. He finished at +3 on the day, six under on the week. Young posted his second consecutive 67 to reach five-under through three rounds. The former teammates will tee off in the penultimate pairing on Sunday. Neither has been able to secure a PGA Tour win to date, despite a number of close calls. Perhaps one will make his first victory a major. Two chances are better than one.

Count it. ?

3. Matt, not Matthew

Matt Fitzpatrick was pegged as a favorite at Brookline for next month’s US Open, thanks to his 2013 victory in the US Amateur at the revered layout. The youngish Englishman might secure his first major title in advance of that event. Fitzpatrick overcame a pair of opening bogeys with six birdies on the day. ~~Shaken, not stirred~~ Matt, not Matthew, will match wits with Mito Pereira over the final 18 holes, but there’s no guarantee that either will leave Tulsa with the Wannamaker trophy. This one will be a western shootout.

2. Guillermito Pereira is your 54-hole leader

Little Guillermo, or Guillermito, is often abbreviated to Mito. Thus was born a nickname with staying power, so many years ago in Santiago, Chile. Pereira notched birdie on two of his first five holes, precisely when Zalatoris was strugglin, and seized the lead at 10-under par. In three blinks of an eye, the man from Thin Land posted bogey-bogey-bogey at the turn, to drop to seven-deep. After a fourth bogey, at the 12th, Pereira closed with birdies at 13, 14, and 18 to post a score in the 60s for a third consecutive day. His lead is two strokes over Fitzpatrick, and he’ll breathe rarefied air on Sunday.

1. ¿Quién ganará el torneo mañana?

Será un hispanoparlante, aunque de México, y no de Chile. All right, enough showing off. Your winner of the 2022 PGA Championship will be Double A, or A Squared, aka Abraham Ancer. The young Mexican and Gael García Bernal lookalike will overtake the four golfers in front of him, and will emerge victorious in a playoff. The crystal ball clouded up when we tried to determine the identity of the playoff unfortunate, so we’ll take a gamble and say Bubba Watson loses the playoff. #SmoothWithIt

At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.

It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

Currently, in our GolfWRX buy/sell/trade (BST) forum, @HuskerFlyer is sharing a Scotty Cameron GOLO with a BGT Stability Tour2 2022 M Edition shaft. While the putter is certainly enviable, the Augusta-inspired shaft is equally noteworthy.
