Xander Schauffele and Collin Morikawa are tied at the top of the Valhalla leaderboard ahead of the final round of the 2024 Championship. Sahith Theegala is one stroke back in second, while Shane Lowry has forced himself into contention after matching Schauffele's 62 from Thursday's opening round, including reaching the turn in 29 strokes.
Next week’s PGA Championship at Valhalla is almost finalised.
Wyndham Clark picks up his first PGA Tour victory in his 134th start with the lowest 72-hole score in Wells Fargo Championship history.
Kurt Kitayama held off the challenge of Rory McIlroy to claim the Arnold Palmer Invitational by a single shot. McIlroy had a chance to take it to extra holes but missed his 10-foot birdie effort on the 18th. American Kitayama birdied the 17th to reach nine under and a par on the last was good enough to claim his maiden PGA Tour win.
The result was pretty much inevitable ahead of Rory McIlroy hitting the first shot of the Sunday singles. America had looked too strong for a misfiring Europe and it was a case of damage limitation.

Abraham Ancer became the first Mexican to win a European Tour title after defeating Sam Burns and Hideki Matsuyama in a play-off at the WGC-FedEx St Jude Invitational. The 30-year-old carded a 68 to finish at sixteen-under after 72 holes at TPC Southwind, with Matsuyama and Burns storming through the field on day four with rounds of 63 and 64 respectively.
There will be no Brooks and Bryson teeing it up together unless fate brings them together at the weekend. However, there are plenty of choice groups to follow at Torrey Pines when the U.S. Open gets under way tomorrow.
