Schmid Two Shots Back After 65 at PGA Championship

A win on Sunday would make the 28-year-old only the third German to claim a men’s major.

Overview

  • Matti Schmid climbed into a tie for second on Saturday with a five-under 65, reaching 206 to trail leader Alex Smalley at 204 heading into the final round.
  • Martin Kaymer posted a 66 in round three to move to 208 and 11th, extending a comeback after years of left-wrist trouble that had limited his play.
  • Rory McIlroy is at 207 in seventh place after rebounding from a poor opener, keeping pressure on the leaders at Aronimink Golf Club near Philadelphia.
  • Stephan Jäger slipped to 210 with a 73 in round three after an all-par scorecard on Friday had kept him in early contention.
  • Aronimink’s setup has been exacting, with defending champion Scottie Scheffler calling some pin locations “absurd,” and he begins Sunday at 209 on a tie for 23rd.
