Moving Day at Aronimink & The Zero That's Bleeding Your Bankroll

My second monitor is officially locked into the live feeds for Day 3 of the PGA Championship over at Aronimink. We are officially into "Moving Day," and the action is already hitting the course.

PGA Championship: The Mind Game is On

If you thought Friday’s round was brutal with what Scottie Scheffler called "absurd" pin locations, today is going to completely test everyone’s mental stamina. The field has shifted gears, and the leaderboard is a powder keg.

Live on the Course: Rory McIlroy and Brooks Koepka teed off at 15:00 BST. They are out on the front nine right now, fighting to erase their over-par starts and mount a massive weekend comeback from +1. ​Warming Up: World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is heading to the range to prepare for his 18:40 BST tee time, sitting just two shots back at -2. ​The Leaders Waiting: The unheralded co-leaders, Maverick McNealy and Alex Smalley, are forced to wait out the tension until their late 19:40 BST tee time tonight to defend their -4 lead. ​The Poker Parallel: Golf on a Saturday afternoon is pure deep-stack tournament strategy. It isn’t about hitting heroic, high-variance shots; it’s about avoiding the big mistakes, managing the terrain, and keeping your composure when you find yourself in the rough. One double-bogey can tilt you right out of contention, just like overplaying a weak hand can bust your stack before the final table.: Rory McIlroy and Brooks Koepka teed off at 15:00 BST.

Love the comparison between golf and deep-stack poker - both are all about patience, composure and avoiding the big mistakes.

Great write-up 👏
