It’s been a while since a major championship produced a truly dramatic finish. It’s going to take something special for anyone to run away with the 2024 PGA Championship.
Starting Sunday, 15 players will be within five shots of the lead. Colin Morikawa and Xander Schauffele, -15, a shot clear of Sahith Theegala, stood tough on Saturday despite a rough start. Behind them, we had a traffic jam.
Degala promptly tied both Schaffel and Morikawa with an early birdie on Sunday afternoon with a deep birdie putt. It’s early in the final round at Valhalla in Louisville, but it’s shaping up to be a wild Sunday.

Here we go…
Everyone is now on course, including co-chairs Colin Morikawa and Sander Schaffel.
Schaeffel’s run on No. 1 was tricked into perfect rough; Morikawa found a fair way.
Above, Bryson DeChambeau had a good birdie on No. 1 to get within a shot of the lead but pulled it. In this day and age of red numbers, those opportunities cannot be missed.

A logjam occurs

What score does it take to win?
With Xander Schauffele and Collin Morikawa at 15 under at the start, what score is it going to take to win today? David Duvall said on the CBS broadcast that the under-19s are winning. Of all the red numbers on the board to date, the guess here is even lower — under 20.
That would be 66 from the leaders, plus 63, which includes all 12-year-olds or better:
Shovel (-15)
Morikawa (-15)
Dikala (-14)
Lori (-13)
DeChambeau (-13)
Hovland (-13)
Rose (-12)
MacIntyre (-12) -
Scotty Scheffler is a man
A day after his first over-par round since last August, Scotty Scheffler started the 4th round home-hum. A bogey at first, followed by a missed six-footer for birdie leaves him at 6-under. Who could blame him for coming back down to earth after Friday’s incident, right?

We already have 64
England’s Jordan Smith got out early and showed there were still scores in Valhalla. Behind six birdies, an eagle and a bogey, Smith carded 7-under 6

Golf can be brutal
Brooks Koepka threw a javelin for seventh place … and this happened:
A chance knock for birdie turned into par. Koepka is 3-under for the round, but at 7-under for the tournament, never again.

Driveable on 13th
Here’s something to look out for later in the day: The 349-yard par-4 13th is obviously drivable:
He finishes that short putt for eagle.
This can be interesting later on when leaders need to move someone.

The final round is underway
The final round of the 2024 PGA Championship is underway, and yes, there are scores to be had today. There are already red figures on the leaderboard, including Brooks Koepka, who is 2-under for his round through four holes. If this is any indication, it will be a shootout to win for those on the leaderboard.
