debacle of Jon Rahm, suffering of Tiger Woods to the extent that after the return, he decided for the first time in his career to withdraw from a major, and the top five tournament positions taken by players who have never won on the PGA Tour. This is how this PGA Championship is out of control, on the third day of which we went from sun cream and shorts to windbreakers and wetsuits. The tournament has definitely gone crazy.

Arnaus, nine strokes away

Adri Arnaus he is the best Spaniard with a par result tied for 17th place. He was able to get oil from the third day, but his -2 card was twisted with two bogeys in the final holes. The Catalan, nine strokes behind the leader, will play with Rory MciIroy on a beautiful Sunday with many dream goals within reach.

The story of Rahm’s 76 strokes in the third round is easy to argue, his golf left him, especially erratic off the tee, which had worked best for him so far. He is not used to the ‘Len de Barrika’ going through majors so far from the top-ten or signing laps like the one on Saturday without scoring a single birdie.

Woods battle was against the cold, against the elements, against the field, against his game and against his leg, too many open fronts ended up knocking down the Californian who delivered a 79, the highest card in his PGA history and the third largest in majors. Tiger, who did not attend the media after the return, issued a brief statement in which he admitted to ending the day “very annoyed and sore.” He seemed like Woods’ team was paving the way for what was to come minutes later, confirmation that the winner of 15 majors for the first time in his career, withdrew from one of them.

Chilean leadership and delirium.

The emergence of Joaqun Niemann three years ago convulsed the history of Chilean sports. His first victory on the PGA Tour in 2019 catapulted him at just 21 years of age as the best Chilean golfer in history. In a country that does not reach 20 million inhabitants with just over 10,000 golf players, even the taxi drivers spoke to you proudly of the deeds of his Joaco.

This year he achieved his second triumph, the confirmation, but he was not alone, in his wake he has grown golfistically Guillermo Pereira, the leader of the PGA Championship with an advantage of three strokes, in the absence of the final 18 holes. Mito, as he is known on the PGA Tour, is playing his first season on the PGA Tour, in fact this week he is facing his 29th tournament, his only experience in majors was the 2019 Us Open where he missed the cut. The last rookie to win a major was Keegan Bradley at the 2011 PGA Championship and the last to open his record with a major was Charl Schwartzel in the Masters of the same year.

Perhaps the tennis player Marcelo Ríos was the most important individual athlete that Chile has given and could never be crowned in a grand slam event. Mito is breaking schemes and his card of 69 strokes in a third day with complicated conditions defies any logic. The Chilean took command in a sweeping way and while everyone suffered, he collected two birdies without fail in the first seven holes and became the leader with an advantage of four shots. Difficulties came with four bogeys in five holes, which was logical.

Inexperience seemed to suddenly awaken the sweet Chilean dream, but then the extraordinary happened, once again, Pereira seized the situation and closed the lap with amazing calm that paid off in the form of three birdies, spectacular was the last in the 18, which gave him the three-shot advantage that keeps an entire country on edge tonight. At the moment, Pereira has three shots ahead of Matt Fitzpatrick.
