The third round of the USPGA championship at Quail Hollow, North Carolina, ended in dramatic circumstances as two contenders, including the leader, made an unholy mess of the 18th hole. At the end of the day, Kevin Kisner led the championship at seven under par, having dropped three strokes over his last three holes. Hideki Matsuyama, who is bidding to become the first man from Japan to win a major championship, is a stroke behind, alongside Chris Stroud, who, like Kisner, is an American journeyman and a tough one. Justin Thomas and Louis Oosthuizen, who both managed to get round a most treacherous course without undue alarm, are a stroke further back at five under par. The winner today should come from those five players.
