PGA Championship 2022 LIVE: Leaderboard and latest updates with Rory McIlroy and Mito Pereira ascendant

McIlroy, who finished runner-up in the Masters thanks to closing 64 in Augusta Nationalhe started the last round with nine shots off the lead after opening the 65th with two disappointing rounds of 71 and 74.

That seemed to end his chances of a fifth major title and first since winning the 2014 US PGA title, but McIlroy may have had other ideas and made a great start with four birds in a row from second.

Fitzpatrick’s foot may have added a touch of pressure to Mito Pereira’s long throw and hits him around the back of the hole, making him a bogeyman.

In front of him does Zalatores save the ball in eighth place, after moving away from the back net. The bat saves him again.

Matt Fitzpatrick passes a flying ball past the right edge of the hole on the seventh and Cameron Young drops a shot on the eighth.

Away from the green, McIlroy has a long, left-to-right swing effort for a birdie at 16. He hits him brilliantly but the ball sways in the hole and bounces out!

Nine pars in a row for Rory McIlroy. He wasn’t able to convert the most difficult chances on his back nine to take shots and with three holes likely, he probably views -5 as the best case scenario.

The 17th can be reached in two stages, and a good shot at 18 would leave him with a chance.

Do xalatores explode from the inside? He takes an iron on the par-3 eighth and hangs it well above the green. He’s a little lucky that the ball settled into the rough, leaving a good streak towards the flag and the possibility of a tie up and down.

The ecstasy of making a ghost is unleashed on only six people by Will Xalatores who catches a ghost on the seventh day.

Cameron Young struggled to get close as well with his three shots, but saves himself with the racket and goes out just as well.

After finding water on Day Six, Matt Fitzpatrick makes a tough shot for a bogey four-on-three. Like Will Zalatoris before, this will feel like a salvaged shot.

He leads by four goals, although Mito Pereira (-9) shoots twice from the middle of the green in order to equalize.

The latter pair had to wait a long time while officials dealt with Will Zalatores’ misguided blow. Waiting doesn’t seem to bother Mito Pereira, who sends an iron safely into the middle of the green.

Fitzpatrick decided to buy a five iron and would need to smoke this iron properly. He is also trying to go science rather than rescue to the right and gets everything wrong.

splash! In the water, the English are in trouble.

Will Zalatores (-7) drops a bullet on a six bar 3 but it will feel like a bird. He was in real trouble about the tee and had to take a penalty before he fell off the track.

He still had work to do with a six-foot ghost and what seemed certain to be a double ghost at best sees Zalatoris drop only one. Great recovery play.

Abraham Anser collects another bogey on his run and drops back to (-3) along with Rory McIlroy who misses another Flying chance for 14th.
