Chance to become a champion

Schauffele pitches onto the green and leaves himself a birdie putt.

It is about 8 feet away from the hole.

If he can sink this he wins the PGA Championship.

Not to be for Irish eyes

Shane Lowry finishes his round on fourteen under par.

He is in joint fourth position with Collin Morikawa and Justin Rose.

It all looked so good at the start for Lowry but he struggled to keep up with the pace-setters.

Final pair head to 18th tee

Xander Schauffele carded par on the 17th hole to go into the final hole joint for the lead with Bryson DeChambeau.

Both players are twenty under par.

He needs a birdie at least on the last to win the PGA Championship.

Story unfolds on final green

Both DeChambeau and Hovland have putts for birdie.

You feel with the pair one shot behind Schauffele, at least one of them has to sink it to put the pressure on.

DeChambeau duly obliges and moves into the joint lead on twenty under par after a round of 64.

Hovland cannot follow suit as the ball trails off to the left of the hole.

Scot with strong finish to round

Robert MacIntyre carded an eagle on the final hole to ensure a top ten finish.

MacIntyre finishes on thirteen under par for the championship.

It was a superb long putt that finished what has been a good performance from the Scot over the four rounds.

Chances to catch leader

Bryson DeChambeau has just missed a birdie putt on the 17th to go into the joint lead.

With Xander Schauffele leading by a shot, they cannot afford to miss these opportunities.

Viktor Hovland also misses his birdie putt, things seem to leaning towards a win for Schauffele now.

Chasing pack up against it

It is hard to see Schauffele dropping any shots at all.

If anything, you can see him picking up more birdies on the remaining six holes.

That leaves only Hovland and DeChambeau with the chance to catch him but with them both three holes ahead of him on the course, they need to set a target for him.

Xander remains in the groove

Xander Schauffele has carded another birdie to move into the outright lead once again.

The American is currently twenty under par.

He is one shot clear of Viktor Hovland.

Viktor needing to set bar

With Hovland three holes ahead of Schauffele on the course, he will have a nervous wait in the clubhouse.

He needs to try and post a score to challenge the American and then watch on to see if he can hold his nerve.

Hovland needs to pile the pressure on the man who has yet to win a major.

American bounces back immediately

After carding a bogey, Xander Schauffele birdies the next hole to move to nineteen under par with Viktor Hovland.

The pair now lead the PGA Championship.

This is some great golf we are seeing and it looks set to go to the wire.

European takes lead in PGA

Viktor Hovland has just sunk another birdie and is not the outright leader in the PGA Championship.

The Norwegian is now nineteen under par.

He leads DeChambeau and Schauffele by one shot.

Xander bogeys easiest hole on course

Statistically, the tenth hole is the easiest on the course.

However, Schauffele struggled on the par 5 and carded a bogey.

As a result of dropping a shot, he is now joint leader with Viktor Hovland.

McIlroy ends disappointing tournament

Rory McIlroy has just birdied the eighteenth hole to finish the championship on twelve under par.

There have been moments of brilliance but all too often there is another hole where things go wrong.

He has posted a decent score over the four rounds but will be able to pinpoint areas of this game where could have saved shots and been further up the leaderboard.

Leader fending off competition

Xander Schauffele is like a boxer fending off an opponent with his jab right now.

Another birdie on the ninth hole sees him move to nineteen under par.

He opens up a two shot lead once again.

Norwegian eyeing up Viktor-y

Viktor Hovland has racked up another birdie, taking him to seventeen under par for the championship.

He now finds himself one shot behind Xander Schauffele once again.

Hovland is going to take this to the 18th green on this form.

Overnight leader drops off

Collin Morikawa is now in fourth spot in the leaderboard.

He is fifteen under par and three shots off the lead.

Morikawa is currently tied with Ireland's Shane Lowry.

Leaderboard constantly changing

Both Bryson DeChambeau and Viktor Hovland have moved to sixteen under par.

They are just one shot off Xander Schauffele in first position.

With plenty of golf yet to play, it is impossible to predict who is going to win the PGA Championship.
