With the final round of the 2026 PGA Championship underway at Aronimink Golf Club, Alex Smalley holds a two-shot lead at 6-under after consistent sub-par rounds, while a record 22 players sit within four shots and remain in contention for top-20 finishes. Strong recent form from players like Jon Rahm, Ludvig Åberg, Rory McIlroy, and Xander Schauffele positions them well to capitalize on any late surges or steady pars, especially given the course's firm greens and variable winds that reward ball-striking accuracy. Defending champion Scottie Scheffler's steady presence near the top of the leaderboard adds another layer of pressure on the chasing pack, as does the tight margin separating dozens of competitors entering Sunday.
