What to watch in Round 3: Can Shane Lowry hold on? Will Scottie Scheffler make a run?

What to watch in Round 3: Can Shane Lowry hold on? Will Scottie Scheffler make a run?

Round 3 at the 2024 PGA Championship

Shane Lowry enters Round 3 with a two-stroke lead, but the chasing pack is closing in. Scottie Scheffler, the world No. 1, is just three strokes back and will be looking to make a run.

Lowry has been in excellent form all week, but he will need to be at his best to hold off Scheffler and the rest of the field. The Irishman has a strong record in majors, having won the 2019 Open Championship, but he has never won a PGA Championship.

Scheffler, meanwhile, is looking to add to his impressive resume. The American has already won four PGA Tour events this season, including the Masters Tournament. He is one of the most in-form players in the world and will be a major threat to Lowry’s lead.
