The PGA Championship is poised for a thrilling conclusion as Alex Smalley secured a two-shot lead heading into the final round on Sunday. The competition at Aronimink is exceptionally close, with a remarkable 22 golfers positioned within four shots of the leader after Saturday's play. This tight grouping includes notable players like Jon Rahm, who is part of a five-way tie for second place at 4-under par, having achieved his best round of the week with a 3-under 67. Rory McIlroy also improved his standing with a better Saturday performance, reaching 3-under. He shares this score with Xander Schauffele, Patrick Reed, and Maverick McNealy. Smalley and Matti Schmid are scheduled to tee off last in Sunday's final pairings at 2:35 p.m. ET, as the Wanamaker Trophy remains very much up for grabs outside of Philadelphia. The tournament is being broadcast on ESPN and CBS.
