Bit players in a one-man race, Varner III, Janewattananond still motivated at Bethpage

FARMINGDALE, N.Y. – They will likely be extras in a Sunday play that has evolved into a one-man show, but Harold Varner III and Jazz Janewattananond will have plenty of motivation at the PGA Championship.

For Varner, this will be the first time he’s been in the final group on Sunday at a major and will be a valuable learning experience despite a seven-stroke deficit to start his day alongside front-runner Brooks Koepka.

“It's a great opportunity. It's going to be a great day no matter what happens,” said Varner, who was tied for second place with Janewattananond, Dustin Johnson and Luke List.
