PGA Championship - Woods, Donald Share Lead after Third Round
Here's what the leaderboard looks like at the end of the third round:
Tiger Woods, -14 (65)
Luke Donald, -14 (66)
Mike Weir, -12 (65)
Geoff Ogilvy, -11 (68)
Shaun Micheel, -10 (67)
Sergio Garcia, -10 (67)
The 65s shot by Woods and Weir matched the previous Medinah No. 3 best first posted by Skip Kendall at the 1999 PGA Championship.
Tiger has to be the heavy favorite to win his 12th career major on Sunday. Luke Donald certainly has the game to win, and he has the local connection, too - he played collegiately at Northwestern. What might have sounded to some like booing following Donald birdies on Saturday was actually the crowd crooning, "Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuke."
But Donald hasn't been in this position before, and it's tough to see someone who hasn't yet won a major staring down Woods to win his first. If someone is going to step up and beat Tiger on Sunday, it will probably have to be Mike Weir or Geoff Ogilvy. But they'll need help from Tiger - in the form of a good but not great round - to do so.
