US PGA Championship 2023: third round – as it happened

• Another best-of-day 66 for leader Brooks Koepka
• Viktor Hovland and Corey Conners head a star-studded chasing pack
• PGA Championship leaderboard

Lowry has a route to the green from his position wide left of the 1st fairway. But he can only find the bunker at the front right. Rory, from the middle of the fairway, pushes his second into the rough to the right of the green. Pin high, but he's not left with too much green to work with. Lowry is probably in the better position now.

Phil Mickelson, having survived the cut at the PGA for the 27th time, a record he now shares with Jack Nicklaus and Raymond Floyd, smiles broadly when shaking hands on a third round of 75. He's +10. Meanwhile Kazuki Higa, who led on Thursday for a while, after flying out of the blocks with four birdies in his first five holes, is back in the hutch with a 77. He's +12, and the heady heights of -4 seem a lot further back in the rear-view mirror than Thursday morning.
