With a rain-shortened third round at the PGA Championship in the books, it's time to look back on the highs and lows with some of the best photos from the day. The weather, Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy? Yep, they all made our photo cut.

We highlight some of our favorites after the jump.

While most players in this week's field arrived at the Ocean Course with their sights set on the Wanamaker Trophy, Stricker had his eyes locked on another prize as well: an automatic spot on the American Ryder Cup team.

Sitting in 10th in the current Ryder Cup standings coming into tournament, Stricker knew the only way he could leapfrog Rickie Fowler and Phil Mickelson, who currently sits in eight, and final, automatic spot on the team, was to get into contention at the PGA and post a strong finish.

But after opening with two straight over par rounds, Stricker looked like a guy who was going to have to wait by his phone for a call from Ryder Cup captain Davis Love III. At 3-over when he teed off on Saturday morning, he wasn't out of the tournament, but if there was one thing he needed to do to get back into the mix, it was start strong and take chances.

KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. — We've reached the halfway point of the 94th PGA Championship with a host of marquee names at, or near, the top of the leaderboard. Moving Day at a major is always full of intriguing storylines. With that in mind, here's a look at four you should keep track of during the third round.

Tiger Woods and Vijay Singh — It goes without saying that this is the pairing to watch on Saturday. Tied for the lead at 4-under, both players have a chance to make history this weekend -- Woods is going for his 15th major championship and Singh is trying to become the oldest major winner in golf history at 49 -- but keep an eye on how much they interact during the round. If you'll recall, Singh's caddie Paul Tesori wore a hat that had "Tiger Who?" taped to the back during the 2000 Presidents Cup. Woods went on to win the match, 2 and 1, but ever since that fateful day, the relationship between the two players has been, shall we say, chilly. Don't expect a lot of chitchat.

With the second round of the PGA Championship in the books, it's time to look back on the highs and lows with some of the best photos from the day. Rory McIlroy, Phil Mickelson, and a Rickie Fowler fan? Yep, they all made our photo cut.

We're at the halfway point of the PGA Championship and with the wind making an appearance on Friday, plenty of players went from potential contenders to pretenders in just 18 holes.

Tiger Woods' stock continues to rise after another under-par round at the Ocean Course, while the Ryder Cup bubble boys saw their stock take a major hit. Here's a look who else made our PGA Championship edition of "Stock Watch."

Stock rising

The Ocean Course — You knew the wind would make an appearance at the PGA Championship. A day after players were treated to prime conditions at the Ocean Course, the Pete Dye layout bit back on Friday in a big way. How difficult did the course play during the second round? The 78.1 scoring average was the highest in PGA Championship history and was almost five shots worse than Thursday's 73.3 average. Two players shot in the 90's and 39 in the 80's. It was a day that left Keegan Bradley tweeting that the Ocean Course, on Friday, was the "Hardest golf course/day I've ever played."

Tiger Woods — The knock on Tiger Woods coming into the PGA Championship was that his putter was a problem. After two round, however, that doesn't appear to be the case. With 23 one-putts in his first two round and 48 total putts, Woods is staging a putting clinic at Kiawah (he also led the field in scrambling on Friday). His 1-under 71 during the second wasn't a thing of beauty, but considering most of the field went the other direction, he should be happy with a spot in the final pairing on Saturday. Now it's time to see if Woods can actually shoot a round in the red on the weekend.

Phil Mickelson — Mickelson's two days spent at the Ocean Course can be summed up with one stat: 22 one-putts. Despite hitting just 13 fairways and 13 greens over his first two days, he was able to stay in contention with some brilliant up-and-downs from a number of wacky lies. Mickelson may be the only player in the field that's seen all of Kiawah Island, but he's somehow managed to hang around at even par. If he can produce another solid round tomorrow, watch out.

KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. — It wasn't the prettiest round in the world, but considering how difficult the Ocean Course was playing on Friday afternoon, Rory McIlroy will take 3-over 75 -- especially given how things were going early in the round.

After taking advantage of prime scoring conditions on Thursday morning to post 5-under 67, McIlroy arrived at the course 24 hours later to find a completely different test with golf flags flapping and the wind blowing anywhere between 20-30 mph.

McIlroy was forced to change his game plan quickly. One day after he went birdie hunting, the 23-year-old turned to his survival skills during the second round to stay in contention.

Early on, it looked like McIlroy might be an Ocean Course casualty, after he opened with two bogeys in his first seven holes to drop from 5-under to 3-under before he even made the turn. With the most difficult stretch of holes on the course -- Nos. 10 thru 13 -- awaiting his arrival, things didn't look good for McIlroy.

But

KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. — No major championship would be complete without a fan getting beaned by a golf ball. But on Friday at the PGA Championship, Peter Hanson decided to mix it up a bit, taking dead aim at one of his playing competitors, two-time major winner Angel Cabrera, who was standing on the tee at the par-5 seventh hole.

OK, Hanson didn't mean to hit the ball to Cabrera's feet, but check out how close he came to nearly drilling Cabrera and Bill Haas, who was actually standing next to his golf bag that got hit on the fly. Maybe next time Hanson could bother yelling "fore" when he hits a shot that far right.

KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. — If you've followed Phil Mickelson's career over the years, then you likely remember Ford's "What will Phil do next?" ad campaign that posed the question about what the four-time major winner would do next when faced with an impossible shot.

The ad hasn't been around since 2004, but it's making a comeback this week in a big way, after Mickelson put together another improbable round at the PGA Championship. How else can you explain what he's done this week? Quite honestly, you can't. The only thing you can do is ask the question: What will Phil do next?

Less than 24 hours after Mickelson put the finishing touches on one of the greatest scrambling rounds of his career -- a round that included 11 one-putts and only five greens hit in regulation -- he put on another scrambling clinic on Friday, recording another round that included 11 one-putts, eight greens in regulation and seven fairways hit.

If you're keeping score at home, that's 13 fairways, 13 greens in
