Alex Smalley holds a two shot lead going into the final round of the PGA Championship, five golfers sit on -4 after good rounds from Matti Schmid and Nick Taylor. It’s going to make for an enthralling final round!

We no longer have a 10 way tie for the lead, all those entries are now one shot off. Chris, Dan and Sergio currently share the lead on -11 but could we see a twist at the end in the race for the £14,300 prize pot?

Top 10

The top 10 after Round 3 is as follows:

1st – Chris Furminger 3 -11 (-6,-4,-1)

1st – Dan Byrne 1 -11 (-6,-4,-1)

1st – Sergio Vargas -11 (-6,-4,-1)

4th – Nigel Wildman 2 -11 (-4,-4,-3)

5th – Jim Cheung 8 -10 (-6,-3,-1)

5th – Josh Burr -10 (-6,-3,-1)

5th – lee pierce 3 -10 (-6,-3,-1)

5th – Luke Smalley 3 -10 (-6,-3,-1)

5th – Mike Bear -10 (-6,-3,-1)

5th – Nathan Johnson 4 -10 (-6,-3,-1)

5th – Tony Kavanagh -10 (-6,-3,-1)

Our general rule of thumb is that if you’re within 10 shots of the lead, you’re still in contention and that is definitely the case here with the leaderboard being pretty tight and the scoring being so variable!

Good luck to those still in contention. It’s going to be a nervy finish!
