PGA Championship 2022 LIVE: Leaderboard & reaction as Justin Thomas beats Will Zalatoris in playoff

Rory makes a par on the eighth then monsters a 325-yard drive down the ninth fairway before chipping his second to around 15-feet. Birdie chance coming up.

Fitzpatrick attempts to draw his second shot on the first around the trees and he spanks it over the green, ending up behind the tv tower.

Bubba Watson makes it three pars on the opening three holes after sliding his chance for birdie wide on the third.

Cameron Young drops back to (-4) as he leaves his effort for par a few inches short of the hole on the first green. Not the desired start for the young American.

There are no signs of nerves from the leader Mito Pereira (-9) as he bombs his drive on the first smack bang down the middle.

The same can’t be said for Matt Fitzpatrick (-6) who hooks his tee shot into the crowd over to the left of the fairway.

Cameron Young did find the sand off the tee on the first hole and had to lay up in the fairway with his second. He could still save par but would have liked to be a lot closer to the hole after dinking a wedge into the green.

His putt isn’t the easiest and he could be looking at a first hole bogey.

Will Zalatoris is on the green in two and has the chance for birdie.

On the par-3 eighth Rory McIlroy finds the right side of the green off the tee and leaves himself with a long putt for birdie. This will be some shot if it drops.

Bubba Watson (-2) gives himself a chance to pick up a shot on the third with a great approach to the third green. He leaves himself around 10-12 feet for a three.

The penultimate group of the day kick off their rounds on the first tee. Will Zalatoris (-6) is safely down the fairway but Cameron Young is a little wide.

He’s into the rough stuff over on the left but seems to have carried his drive over the bunker that’s positioned on that part of the hole.

Ooooooooh. So close for McIlroy!

After he smoked his tee shot down the 7th fairway, a decent iron left him with maybe a 30-footer for birdie. He hit it well and it’s millimetres from dropping.

A par at the 7th at Southern Hills is never a bad score, so he’ll take that but he stays at (-3) and can’t get the shot he dropped at the 6th back.

Stewart Cink off to a bad start to his Sunday as he bogeys the 1st, slipping back to -1. Better from his playing partner Justin Thomas, who safely pars it to stay at -2 alongside Bubba Watson, Tommy Fleetwood and Lucas Herbert.

Tommy Fleetwood getting himself involved now. The Englishman birdied 4th and followed that up with another at the 5th - holing a five-footer. He joins the group at -2.

Meanwhile, Rory McIlroy smokes his tee shot down the 7th fairway, a nice bounce back from his bogey at 6.

Players who need a good round to legitimately put themselves in contention but will still fancy the job are starting to get underway. Justin Thomas and Stewart Cink - both at -2, seven strokes back - hit their tee shots at the 1st. Fairways found for both Americans.

Bubba Watson pars the 1st so he stays at -2.
