It's Moving Day at Aronimink and we have an incredibly tight leaderboard at the 2026 PGA Championship.
The course has been brutally difficult over the first two days but scoring is lower so far on Saturday, where we may see a few players get on birdie runs and distance themselves at the top.
Lots of big names remain in contention, with the likes of Scottie Scheffler, Cameron Young, Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm all in position to challenge Alex Smalley and Maverick McNealy at the top - who go out at 2.40pm local time in the final group.

Live updates from:

BRIAN HARMAN MAKING MOVES
The 2023 Open champion eagled the 9th and has just birdied 12 and 13 to move to -4 for the day and -1 for the tournament.
ROSE FALLS BACK
The Englishman bogeys the par 3 14th after finding the greenside bunker. He drops back to two-under and is now 'only' five-under for the day.
MORNING STARTERS HAVE THE ADVANTAGE
Great take from Shane Bacon, who points to the 2018 US Open at Shinnecock Hills. That was when Tony Finau and Daniel Berger went out early and found themselves in the final group on Sunday.
With winds set to gust up to 28mph later, these morning starters going low, like Rose and Kirk, could be making big moves.
With the anticipated winds this afternoon, I'm getting some 2018 U.S. Open vibes from the early groups. Go get it, post a number and see if the conditions beat up those going out late.May 16, 2026
MCILROY'S INCREDIBLE DRIVE ON 6...
This was him driving the par 4 6th green just now:

ROSE BIRDIE!
Justin Rose gets up-and-down from the greenside bunker on the short par 4 13th and he moves to six-under-par for the day.
The Englishman, who has a win and a runner-up at Aronimink, is now just one off the lead.
BIRDIE FOR MCILROY
The back-to-back Masters champion makes back-to-back birdies after driving the par 4 6th.
He made that look very easy, as he moves to one-under-par.
CHRIS KIRK THE LOWEST MAN ON THE COURSE
The American drives it through the green on 13 and gets up-and-down for a birdie. It takes him to six-under for the day and up to -3, just one off the lead.
MCILROY ON 6
His drive went 369 yards, uphill, with 190mph ball speed to find the green while Jordan Spieth and Dustin Johnson were still putting out.
It's a very long eagle putt but he rolls it up to within 5ft. Big birdie putt upcoming.
REITAN EAGLE
The Truist Championship winner hits the pin on the drivable par 4 13th and then calmly rolls in a 10-footer for eagle.
He's just gone birdie-birdie-eagle and is up to one-under-par for the tournament.

BRILLIANT ROUND FROM NICOLAI HOJGAARD
The in-form Dane cards the second-lowest round of the week and jumps up to level-par for the 2026 PGA Championship.

RORY MCILROY - WOW
Rory McIlroy has just unleashed a monster of a drive up the 397 yard 6th hole...and he has found the green. Incredible.
The group ahead are still putting out as McIlroy's ball trickles onto the front edge.
MCILROY BIRDIE
Rory McIlroy bounces back from the dropped shot on 4 to birdie the 5th courtesy of a lovely downhill 15-footer. He is back to level-par and within four of the lead.
We know he's a generational talent but I still feel his short game and putting is underrated.
MICHAEL KIM EAGLES 13
The popular American has just driven the green on 13 and poured in the eagle putt to get back to five-under for the day.
