SHEBOYGAN, Wis. — Whistling Straits is playing more difficult on Sunday for the final round of the PGA Championship, but that doesn’t mean good scores aren’t to be had.
Bubba Watson and Phil Mickelson both showed that the par-4 sixth hole, playing just 355 yards, can be where a big move is made for the leaders.
Watson drove the green at the hole, then sank the putt to make the first eagle of the week on the sixth, tipping his cap toward the appreciative crowd with a wry smile on his face.
Several groups later, Mickelson came up just short of driving the green, landing in a greenside bunker. From there, the five-time major winner holed out his sand shot for the second eagle of the day. Mickelson raised both hands in the air before a fist pump to celebrate the hole-out.
Now the question is: Can the leaders do something similar to jump up the leaderboard?
