The favorites, contenders and long shots going into the final round of the 2022 PGA Championship

TULSA, Okla. -- After several of golf's biggest stars failed to make up ground on moving day at the PGA Championship on Saturday, six players are in good position to win their first major championship at Southern Hills Country Club.

Chile's Mito Pereira moved to 9 under after the third round and is the first player since John Daly in 1991 to hold the outright 54-hole lead in his PGA Championship debut. In each of the previous seven major championships at Southern Hills, the winner had at least a share of the 54-hole lead.

Pereira is seeking to become the first PGA Tour rookie to win a major since Keegan Bradley at the 2011 PGA Championship.
