If Scottie Scheffler will have any advantage over the players that are at the top of the PGA Championship leaderboard, it’s his experience in big moments.

Not only is he the 2022 Masters champion, but since 2020 he has been a constant threat in the four most important tournaments and has finished in the top 10 in seven of the 11 majors that have been played.

“I find myself comfortable in these situations,” said the world’s No. 2 player. “These are the positions I want to be in. I want to be near the lead. I don't want to be in 30th place or going home. I show up to the tournaments to perform at my best. I'm proud of how I did the first few days, and I'm excited to be in a good position going into the weekend. With that being said, I'm going to keep my head down and keep doing what I'm doing.”

Meanwhile, co-leaders Corey Conners and Viktor Hovland will go into the third round will far less notable resumes. Neither has won a major, with Conners posting just three tops 10s in 17 major starts, and Hovland producing two in 11 starts.

Here are a few things to know as Saturday’s third round gets underway:

How many players made the cut at the PGA Championship?

A total of 76 players have moved on to play this weekend from the original field of 156. The cut line was 5-over par.

What’s the weather forecast for Saturday?

It’s not good. Rain is expected to start overnight and then pick back up in the morning and last all day, and the temperatures aren’t supposed to get out of the low 60s so it’s going to have a very British Open-type feel for the players.

It will clear up Saturday evening and the Sunday forecast is sunny with a high of 73 degrees.
