Overview
- Smalley, who stumbled with three bogeys in his first four holes Saturday, rallied late for a 2-under 68 and a 6-under total.
- A record 22 players are within four shots, with Jon Rahm, Ludvig Åberg, Aaron Rai, Nick Taylor and Matti Schmid at four under and Rory McIlroy leading a group one stroke further back.
- The final pairing features Smalley and Schmid, both still seeking a first PGA Tour win in a rare PGA Sunday without a past Tour winner in the last group.
- Aronimink’s Donald Ross greens and cambered fairways make wide landing areas play narrow, and softer mornings followed by windy afternoons have kept scores tight.
- If players finish tied after 72 holes, the PGA Championship will be decided by a three-hole aggregate playoff.
