Tiger Woods Forced to WD From PGA Championship
TULSA - Mito Pereira holds a three-stroke lead over Matt Fitzpatrick and Will Zalatoris. It is Pereira’s his first lead after any round on Tour. Pereira is the first player since John Daly (1991) to hold the outright 54-hole lead in their PGA Championship debut.
Pereira is seeking to become the first PGA Tour Rookie to win a major championship since Keegan Bradley at the 2011 PGA Championship.
Tiger Woods withdrew from the PGA Championship after recording his highest score (79) in 79 rounds at the PGA Championship and third-highest personal score ever in a major.
In the seven major championships hosted at Southern Hills, all winners held at least a share of the 54-hole lead.
Danny Willett is the last player to earn his first Tour win at a major (2016 Masters).
