PGA Championship Round 3: What to know as Alex Smalley hunts first Tour win

Twelve hours after the third round began, the densely packed leaderboard at the 108th PGA Championship was no more revelatory than it was to begin the day.Fourteen players held at least a share of the lead at some point during the third round. Twenty-two are at or within four shots of the lead, the most ever entering the final round of a PGA Championship.Here are the top numbers and notes to know from Round 3 at Aronimink.1. Alex Smalley’s first 54-hole lead in an Official World Golf Rating-sanctioned stroke-play event came at a major championship. The 29-year-old American has posted three consecutive rounds in the 60s, the lone player in the field who can make that claim. Smalley entered the week in good form, with four consecutive top-20 finishes on the PGA Tour. But it’s unquestionable that in just his fifth major start, Smalley, who has not yet won on Tour, would be one of the biggest surprise major champions this decade.Advertisement
