Jim Furyk holds a 1-shot lead heading into the final round of the 2013 PGA Championship today. The 2013 PGA Championship Final Round Start Time is set for 11:00 a.m. and it will be televised nationally on TNT and then at 2 p.m. on CBS. Currently the odds have Furyk as the favorite to win the tournament.
Jason Dufner, the leader after 36 holes for the 95th PGA Championship, didn't play poorly on Saturday, shooting a 1-over-par 71. He had his ups and downs and often times looked shaky when on the course, but he's still in a position to win this tournament. He's in the final pairing with Furyk and only sits a single shot away from a tie for the lead.
The below odds are courtesy of the Las Vegas Superbook, as they have only nine players listed with odds to win the tournament heading into the final round. "The Field," which includes every golfer not listed below, is set at a pretty high price of 25/1. Dustin Johnson, the last player listed on their odds, was 2-under-par for the tournament prior to the fourth and final round. He's seven shots off the lead and thus is about the last person on the leaderboard that could potentially have a shot.
Rory McIlroy posted 3-under-par earlier in Saturday's round, going birdie-birdie to finish at 17 and 18 for the day. That was certainly impressive and last year's PGA Champion is six shots off the lead. However, this year's Championship could come down to an early player in contention posting a score in the clubhouse much like Phil Mickelson at The Open Championship just last month. It's very possible that Henrik Stenson, Adam Scott, Steve Stricker, McIlroy, Lee Westwood or Dustin Johnson could post a score prior to the last group finishing their round and pull off an upset.
But then again, this is golf and one of the most consistent players on the PGA Tour is Furyk, who will master the golf course today, keep his head above water, and pull off the victory. He has one major title in his bag, the 2003 U.S. Open, and his best finish in a PGA Championship event was a tie for sixth place way back in 1997. It's Furyk's time yet again.
