Day 3 at the PGA Championship wasn’t full of surprises like Adam Scott nailing a sprinkler head or Ian Poulter chipping off a green (such were the foibles on Day 2). What we got was an absolute war atop the leaderboard on the back nine. Bernd Wiesberger (who?) knocked an approach to three inches to take the lead at 11 under par. Then Rory McIlroy, two holes behind, drained a 20-footer to go to...

What a day of golf it was at Valhalla. If you can dream it up, it probably happened on Saturday at the PGA Championship. There was barefoot golf, frustrated leaders, public apologies and even a mention of a famous dinosaur. Oh, and there were a lot of birdies along the way. After 54 holes of golf, this is certainly shaping up to be the most exciting major of the year. Rory McIlroy is in the lead, but...

Heading into the final round of the PGA Championship, it’s anyone’s game…sort of. The narrative is a far cry from what the story seemed like it would be entering Sunday at Valhalla. It appeared after Friday’s round that Saturday’s action would be another act in the drama of Rory McIlroy‘s fourth career major, with the Ulsterman running away from the field as he’s...

Destiny, thy name is Rory McIlroy. The 25-year-old is 18 holes away from winning his second major championship of 2014 and becoming only the 13th golfer since World War I to win back-to-back majors. Through 54 holes, he sits atop the 2014 PGA Championship leaderboard at 13 under: For months and arguably the last few years, golf fans and writers have bemoaned the lack of a transcendent player like...

The return of decent weather brought the best out of the 2014 PGA Championship contenders, but none of them could overtake Rory McIlroy. After holding at least a share of the lead throughout, McIlroy finished Saturday with a round of 67 to take a one-stroke lead at 13-under par entering Sunday’s final round. Bernd Wiesberger’s round of 65 put him one shot off McIlroy’s pace...

The best story in sports just keeps getting better. Nearly 30 years after they started squaring off against each other on the courts in Compton, California, and over 16 years after they first played each other on the pro tour in the second round of the Australian Open, sisters Venus and Serena Williams met again Saturday. This, the 25th meeting in their historic rivalry, took place in the semifinals...

Jason Day has been playing quite well at this year’s PGA Championship, and he might have had the best save of the tournament. During the second hole Saturday, Day accidentally hit the ball across a creek and well out of play. That didn’t keep Day from searching for the ball, however, as he took his shoes off, rolled up his pants and waded across the creek. After getting across, the 26-year-old...

Venus Williams defeated sister Serena Williams 6-7, 6-2, 6-3 on Saturday to reach the championship match of the 2014 Rogers Cup. She will face the winner of the second semifinal featuring Agnieszka Radwanska and Ekaterina Makarova on Sunday. It marked the 25th all-time meeting between the Williams sisters. Each one now takes on a special importance because it’s never known which clash...

Tiger Woods doesn’t remotely resemble the dominant golfer he once was. He may still be ranked 10th in the world, but his recent play really doesn’t warrant a position in the top 50. The 14-time major winner has struggled mightily since returning from back surgery, and based on his recent performances, he’s in no condition to continue playing competitive golf. After watching his grimacing...

Round 3—also known as moving day—of the 2014 PGA Championship is well underway, and the top of the leaderboard is already starting to get crowded. The conditions at Valhalla are soft and pristine Saturday, and many golfers with early tee times took full advantage. While the tournament’s leaders, including world No. 1 Rory McIlroy, have yet to tee off, they have already seen members...
