10 possible PGA Championship outcomes, ranked from least to most likely
10. Jordan Spieth shoots 54 (!) to win
For those who love Spieth — which is most of the golf world — this has been a rollercoaster week. After a scratchy opening 73, Spieth put in a marathon practice session and the live TV shots of him alone at the range, desperately searching for a secret that has now eluded him for three years, tugged at the heartstrings.
He responded on Friday with a nearly flawless 68 to make the cut on the number and earn a tee time with his buddy Justin Thomas, a fraught pairing given that Spieth once led the PGA Tour victory count 8-1 but has now been surpassed by the current world No 1. Over the first six holes on Saturday, Thomas outplayed Spieth by a whopping eight strokes. Twitter pulsated with a mix of shock and pity as Spieth shot a 76 that left him tied for last.
After the round he headed straight for the range, head down, eyes cloudy, walking slowly and looking utterly grim. But Thomas, a true pal, was optimistic, saying, ”I know he’s going to be fine. I’m not just saying it because he’s one of my best friends. All of us go through little spurts. It’s just for him, this has just been a tough one. I mean, he’s going to be fine. All it takes sometimes is one week and all your confidence gets back. That’s golf.” Here’s hoping.
9. Tiger Woods shoots 58 to win
Pre-tournament, there was much concern about how Woods would fare in the chilly temperatures at Harding, but given that he’s among the tournament leaders in driving distance (313.8 yards), it seems like his back is fine. Not so his vaunted putting stroke, at least with the new, longer blade Woods put in play this week.
On Friday he made only 49 feet of putts for the entire round. On Saturday, Tiger didn’t hole a putt longer than five feet across the first 13 holes, and when he finally wiggled in a 10-footer for par on 14 he had to laugh ruefully. At that point he was four over on the day and had played himself out of contention.
Woods later said he was spooked by greens that putt slower than they look: “It’s about reading the greens. I just haven’t hit the putts hard enough. My feel and what I’m seeing just aren’t matching up.” But Tiger made a few mid-range putts coming in and Sunday will begin his run-up to Winged Foot; given his lack of reps over the last five months, this PGA was always going to be about building toward the future. Tiger is not going to win this week but expect a solid bounce-back round on Sunday to give him some momentum.

Brooks Koepka jabs Dustin Johnson’s major total, bullish about PGA three-peat
Brooks Koepka has never lacked for confidence. After wrapping up his third round of the PGA Championship, that self-assuredness was on full display when he was asked how he felt about his chances going into Sunday pursuing Dustin Johnson.
“I like my chances,” Koepka said. “When I’ve been in this position before, I’ve capitalized. I don’t know, (Johnson)’s only won one. I’m playing good. I don’t know, we’ll see.”
It was a not-so-subtle jab from the four-time major winner at his old (albeit less-accomplished-in-the-majors) friend. But maybe that killer instinct is just the reason why Koepka has been so successful in the big ones. No one is safe — not even his workout buddies.
Koepka also used the occasion of his post-round interview with CBS’ Amanda Balionis to point out DJ’s major total, as well the rest of the mostly still-new-to-Sunday-major-pressure leaders, including Scottie Scheffler and Cameron Champ.
“A lot of the guys on the leaderboard, I don’t think have one,” he said. “I guess DJ has only won one, but I don’t know the other guys that are up there.”
