Spieth needs to win for the Grand Slam.

Rory seems primed to win.

Justin Thomas is due.

WHO YA GOT??

Sergio +5 after 11 holes.  Wow.

Spieth is +1 after 11.

Rory waiting.

I am not a great gold guy but I have to pick Spieth. RTR!

I'm about $20 in agreement, Preacher.

Justin Thomas is E after 11.

John Daly E after 12.   :dunno:

Justin should be able to get a couple of birdies yet.  He started on the back nine; easier on 7 and 8.

Koepka konked a guy on the head with a wayward shot. 
It sounded like hitting a football helmet.
The guy was on the ground flexing his hands when last seen, but they said he'd be okay.

Amanda Balionis is announcing the streaming coverage.  She won't shut up about the players' personal lives and the course layout. 

JUST DISCUSS THE PLAY, IDIOT!!

She could have talked about this crap ALL WEEK before play.   :dunno:

Spieth is now +3.

I think I jinxed him.

Jim Herman (?) leads at -4.

Matsuyama finished at -1.

The jinx on picking may have come from me. You know how I am picking games. RTR!

Spieth with 2 birdies: +1 now after 17 holes.

Justin Thomas finished at +2.

Hey Preacher, Vern is announcing the golf on TNT!!

Thank goodness; Spieth stopped using "we" during the interview.  Finally started saying "I", like the other 200 players.

 :clap: :clap: :clap:

Phil is +2 after just 4 holes.

Rory is -1.

Rahm and Rory are -2 after 9.

Luiten got a hole in one!!    #+

Phil is +5 after 11.

I am so glad I don't have TV. lol, RTR!

 :lol:

BTW, Phil is +7.  Doesn't look like he'll get his PGA Championship.

Phil's worst round ever at a PGA: 79 (+8).

 :(

FRIDAY UPDATES:

Phil is +11 now.  Not good.

Ricky Fowler (and his orange) is -3. 
Kisner (who has roots in Charlotte) is -5.  He was -6 earlier today.

Back-to-back bogeys for Rory: +2 after 12.

Ricky still -3.

Kisner leads at -6 after 9.

 :popcorn2:

Rory has made 3 bogeys on his back 9: +3 after 14.

I actually got to watch some last night. Kisner and Matsuyama are tied for the lead at -8. Justin Thomas and Rocky Fowler are at -3.

Some of the golfers had to come back out early this morning to finish their rounds because of darkness due to the rain delay yesterday.

It is good to see Bud Cauley back. He will make the cut. He is +1. He opened with a 69 but shot a 74 in the second round.

Whatever happen to Spieth since I picked him? RTR!

Unfortunately, he is an also-ran, at this point at +3. Jason Day blew up on #18 yesterday for a quad bogey. He started the day at -6. He is at even par now. The course grew some teeth overnight and bit everyone. Kisner is the leader at -7.

Justin Thomas was -2 for the day and is tied for fourth overall at -5. Cauley went the other way and is at +4.

Other notables:

R Fowler -1
Kuchar  +2
McIlroy  +4
D Johnson +4

I did not get to see any of yesterday's play. WHNT, the Huntsville CBS station, lost their signal and was out the air most of the day. It is back this morning. I do not watch golf most weekends but I do enjoy the majors on the weekend when stakes are high.

I followed the leader board on my phone. JT must have played well. Some notable players had trouble on the closing holes. Kinser closed double, par, bogey on the last three holes. Rick y Fowler was in 4th place and finished bogey, double, bogey. Second place Stroud finished bogey, bogey.

Watching the golf Channel last night they think JT made be the man to beat today.

Even JT said he didn't know how he shot -2. He said he didn't feel like he played well. I like his chances as much as anybody's though. Hopefully, he learned something from the final round at the US Open.

I can't understand why J Day played his second shot on #18 the way he did.  If he had pitched out to the fairway he would have had a good shot at getting to the green in 3-shots and at worst making a 6.  He ended up with an 8!!!

Those last three holes are likely to decide the outcome.

Several guys in position to win. JT has as good a chance as anybody if he can keep his drives in the fairway, and that's not a sure thing.  Kisner's drives were in the fairway or light rough and that enabled  him to make lots of pars.

Looks like whoever wins will be a 1st time major champ.  Will be a big deal for that guy!

Heading to the back nine, it's looking like whoever screws up last...the next man standing will win.  May be a playoff.

JT needs to kick it up a notch.

JT looking great. -8 with 3 to play and 1 stroke ahead of Patrick Reed for the lead.

He needed a birdie on the par 5 15th. He just missed his putt. This tournament will be decided on the Green Mile. Three difficult closing holes.

Hello from YNP
 :wave:

JT looking like a champion.

FINISH !!

Birdie on 17 was huge.

Justin Thomas, the 2017 PGA Championship champion!!! Wooot!!!!!!

 :jump: :punk: :jump:

JT played like a champion.   #+
