Saturday Night Recap - PGA Championship
Backward hats, rain, and a whole lotta bogeys today. Brooks Koepka surges to the lead after a 4-under 66. The next closest round was Tommy Fleetwood with a 2-under 68. Can Brooks close it out tomorrow?

Saturday Night Recap - PGA Championship
Hello members,
Man, what a day. So much good content on the socials that you can see below. A brief tease - backward hats, port-a-potties, more hot mics, and threats.
The golf was pretty blah for majority of players, with the execution of Brooks Koepka. He shot a 4-under 66 to move into the solo lead at 6-under for the tournament.
The PGA teaching professional, Michael Block, was such a joy to watch today. He did the walk and talk on the short Par 4 14th hole and made a birdie, which was awesome. Dude just seems humble and nice. Hoping he can end in the top 4 tomorrow to get into the Masters next year.
Most players struggled in the heavy rain today. Some notable scores below:
Joel Dahmen - 8-over 78 today, +11 for the tournament
Phil Mickelson - 5-over 75 today, +10 for the tournament
Justin Thomas - 5-over 75 today, +10 for the tournament
Max Homa - 4-over 74 today, +7 for the tournament
Only 9 players shot under par today with 7 of those being a 1-under 69.
Scores should be much better tomorrow with the perfect weather and a soft course. Will a player 7 shots back take it home, like last year with JT? Only time will tell.
Today's unsung heroes.

Weather
1,000,000% better weather tomorrow than today. Sun and very very pleasant. Temps between 48 and 74.
Updated Betting Odds
My pre-tournament picks:
Jon Rahm - +250000 - shot a 72 today to move to 6-over for the tournament. Very little chance to win unless he goes nuts tomorrow.
Scottie Scheffler - +165 - shot a 3-over 73 and was very uncharacteristic of him. Currently, 2-under for the tournament and only 4 shots behind the leader Brooks.
Tyrrell Hatton - +200000 - 1-under 69 today and currently T27.

I know stuffy country club etiquette well enough to bet that right now, there is some Oak Hill member who is *steaming* about this backwards hat play by JT.

Phil looks like he’s the coach of a U10 soccer team that takes it wayyyyy too seriously.

Easy to say from the comfort of heat and chips/hummus, but I love when we have one horrific weather day like this per major. Happened at Augusta too. Turns it into a battle of attrition, as much a mental test as physical. Three days of good weather, one of trash is what I like.
