DAY 3 AT BELLERIVE

Keep that card

Adam Scott: Missed a short birdie putt on 18 but still tapped in for par to complete a second consecutive 5-under 65. He's alone in second place at 10 under, two back of Brooks Koepka. Scott, who got into the tournament on a special invite, has not had a top-five finish in any event in almost two years.

Toss that card

Dustin Johnson: The No. 1-ranked player in the world certainly didn't play like it early on. Johnson did not make a birdie through his first 13 holes before three late birdies salvaged a 2-over 72. Johnson is at 5 under for the tournament, seven shots out of the lead.

On the course with

Jordan Spieth: Virtually all the work Spieth spent getting back into contention went to waste in the span of one hole. After playing the first 11 holes in 4 under to get within four of the lead, he made triple bogey on the par-4 12th to drop from a tie for 10th to a tie for 26th. Spieth hit his tee shot deep into the woods, and from a trampled lie tried to elevate over a tree and onto the green. But the ball slammed into the tree and ricocheted right, going over a fence and out of bounds. He took a drop, punched out into the rough, and needed three shots to clean up.

pga moment

Matt Wallace aced the par-3 16th hole with a 5-iron to spur a Tiger-like roar from the gallery eagerly awaiting Woods' arrival in the following group. It was the 26th hole-in-one at the PGA Championship since such records began being kept in 1983. Wallace, a 28-year-old Englishman with three European Tour victories, didn't keep a memento. He rewarded all those fans by chucking the ball into the crowd.

Chip shots

• Koepka is trying to become the fifth player in history to win the U.S. Open and PGA Championship in the same season.

• Ben Kern, the only club professional to make the cut, shot a bogey-free 67 and is tied for 36th place.

• Woods finished his round with 10 consecutive pars, never making a putt longer than 10 feet.

Key hole

Par-4, 508-yard No. 10: The back nine starts with a jolt at the PGA Championship. On Saturday, when the field scoring average was the lowest of the week at 69.5, the 10th was the toughest get. It played more than a third of a stroke over par.
