The shortened Australian PGA Championship is wide open, with several world-class drivers in the mix.
Cameron Smith and Elvis Smylie are co-leaders heading into the final round of the Australian PGA Championship. Cameron Smith and his LIV Golf teammate Marc Leishman made hay when the sun finally shone in Brisbane to set up another Australian PGA Championship shootout.
But the left-hander rallied to close with three birdies on his final five holes, including the last behind a laser-like approach, to draw level with three-time event winner Smith at 10 under thanks to a 67 on Saturday. Big-hitting 20-year-old Potgieter was the early leader thanks to four birdies on his first five holes.
Jason Day was steady but lamented a poor day with his trusty putter, the returning former world number one six-under and needing something special in his first Australian appearance in seven years.Torrential rain meant there was no play on Friday, officials reducing the event to a three-day shootout to mirror the format played on Smith and Leishman's LIV Tour.
