Scheffler’s Back-Nine Magic Shakes Up the Leaderboard
Moving day at the 2025 PGA Championship delivered everything fans hoped for—and then some. Scottie Scheffler launched a final five-hole blitz at Quail Hollow to claim a three-stroke lead heading into the final round. After a quiet front nine, the world No. 1 caught fire with an eagle and three birdies to finish five-under on the closing stretch. A run that left fans stunned and competitors scrambling to keep up.
Rahm’s Rough Luck—Another Fan Down
Jon Rahm added another chapter to his infamous record of wayward shots hitting spectators. During the 11th hole, his approach struck a crouched fan in the head and bounced dramatically across the green. Thankfully, the fan was okay and walked away with a signed glove. This marks Rahm’s third high-profile incident involving fans at the PGA, dating back to 2018.
McIlroy Meltdown Over Weather Delay
Rory McIlroy’s frustration boiled over before even teeing off. Delays due to weather saw the Masters champ mutter “F*** off” at the early-morning horn, visibly irritated by the disruption to his preparation. His round didn’t improve either, as he shot 1-over and avoided the media once again, holding steady at T49.
DeChambeau’s Outburst After Late Collapse
After playing stellar golf through 15 holes, Bryson DeChambeau unraveled on 16 and 17 with a bogey and a double. The LIV Golf star vented his frustration in the press conference, calling golf “the worst four-letter word in the world.” He sits six shots off the lead, tied for 8th.
Scheffler’s Coughing Fit Breaks the Tension
After his explosive finish, Scheffler sat down for an interview with CBS’s Amanda Balionis but couldn’t get a word out before a sudden coughing fit. Laughing it off, he claimed it was just nerves, joking, “Sorry, I’m nervous,” before regaining composure. With his lead intact, fans hope he doesn’t cough up the win on Sunday.
With Sunday’s final round approaching, Scheffler looks poised for greatness—but as round three showed, anything can happen at Quail Hollow.
