PGA Championship Round 3: LIVE updates and scores
Stay up to date with all the action from Valhalla Golf Club.
Welcome to live day three updates from the 2024 PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club.
At the halfway stage all of the talk was around world number one Scottie Scheffler after the golfer was arrested and charged with assaulting a police officer and reckless driving ahead of the second round.
Scheffler was released from jail just in time to make it back for his tee time and he carded a six-under 66 to sit primed for a weekend charge.
The reigning Masters champion trailed Xander Schauffele by three strokes.
Elsewhere, Collin Morikawa, Sahith Theegala, Thomas Detry, Mark Hubbard, Austin Eckroat, Tony Finau, Viktor Hovland and LIV Golf's Bryson DeChambeau were inside the top-10.
World number two Rory McIlroy was stuck in neutral on Friday and, despite comfortably making the cut he is considerably off the pace on five-under.
McIlroy will need a strong showing on Saturday afternoon if he is to have any hopes of landing his fifth major title and breaking his 10-year major drought.
The defending champion, Brooks Koepka, is not out of things by any stretch of the imagination.
Koepka fired a 68 on Friday afternoon to sit in T-12 heading into the weekend.

Schauffele saves par
Schauffele -12 (1)
An unforced error left Schauffele with a long putt to save par on the first, but the leader held firm and dropped his first putt into the middle of the cup.
An excellent putt for the confidence early in the round.
18:56
Great par save for McIlroy
McIlroy -5 (6)
After his second shot airmailed the green, it looked likely that McIlroy would drop a shot. However, the Northern Irishman had other ideas. He managed to dig his ball onto the green before holing a long putt to save par.
18:38
Early birdie for DeChambeau
DeChambeau -10 (1)
A great start for the LIV Golf star as he moves to double figures under par with a birdie on the 1st hole.
Bryson DeChambeau

Birdie for McIlroy
McIlroy -5 (4)
McIlroy takes advantage of his superb tee shot on the short par-four 5th and makes his first birdie of the day to move to five-under.
18:15
What a shot by Rory McIlroy
McIlroy -4 (3)
Rors finds the centre of the green at the fourth hole and has an outside look for eagle.
18:05
Bad start from Brooks Koepka
Koepka -6 (1)
The five-time major cham is visibly annoyed after missing from just inside eight feet to save his par.
18:00
Scottie Scheffler is on the range
The world number one is going through his prep before teeing off.
Scheffler is without his caddie Ted Scott today as the looper has flown home to attend his daughter's high school graduation.
Standing in for Scott is Brad Payne.
He is a good friend of Scheffler's and serves as a chaplain for the PGA Tour.
17:53
Not the start Rory McIlroy wanted
McIlroy -4 (1)
Rory needs to make birdies.
But it's a dreadful start from the Northern Irishman.
He hits a superb drive down the first but goes on to make a bogey after missing a nine foot putt for par.
17:06
What a start by Max Homa!
Homa -5 (2)
Before teeing off Max likely thought he was too far back to mount a charge to win his maiden major.
The American needed a fast start and he's done just that, draining an absolute monster birdie putt at the second hole.
His putt, according to Shot Tracker, was from 43ft.
16:52
How will Rory McIlroy fare today?
Rors needs a big day today.
He's currently on five-under, trailing leader Xander Schauffele by seven strokes.
The Northern Irishman is on the range and tees off in 23 minutes alongside PGA Tour rookie Alejandro Tosti and Doug Ghim.

Welcome, one and all!
Welcome to live updates from day three of the 2024 PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club.
At the halfway stage it's Xander Schauffele who leads the way.
But he is being hunted down by a number of star names.
Chief of which is the world number one Scottie Scheffler, who finds himself three strokes behind his Ryder Cup teammate.
Scheffler had an entertaining day yestereday to say the least.
He was arrested and charged with assaulting a police officer but made it out of jail just in time to card a 66 and put himself firmly in contention heading into the weekend.
What a day we have in store...
