Pereira, 27, is trying to become the first PGA Tour rookie to win a major since Keegan Bradley at the 2011 PGA Championship.
Playing in his second career major, Pereira gave himself some breathing room by birdieing the 18th hole from 25 feet Saturday, one of his three birdies over the last six holes.
The four players atop the board — Pereira, Fitzpatrick, Will Zalatoris and Cameron Young — have yet to win a major, let alone with a PGA Tour event.
"Matthew Fitzpatrick has shot under par in all three rounds thus far – expect another low round on Sunday to keep the pressure on Pereira," FOX Bet sports trader Dylan Brossman said. "Will Zalatoris and college teammate Cameron Young are paired in the penultimate group and should be comfortable playing together.
"I would not be surprised to see Zalatoris or Young to come from behind and win the tournament. If there is not enough star power atop the leaderboard for your liking, you could take your chances JT (Thomas), Bubba or Rory to go low and make an epic Sunday rally. Crazier things have happened."
Young's play was no surprise to Brossman, who pre-tournament picked the former Wake Forest star to place in the top 20 at +275 (bet $10 to win $37.50).
Brossman said to keep an eye on Zalatoris, who finished second at the 2021 Masters en route to earning PGA Tour Rookie of the Year honors.
"Zalatoris lives for majors and does not shy away from big moments," Brossman said. "If it were not for a few short missed putts, Zalatoris would be atop the leaderboard already."
PICK: Will Zalatoris (+400 at FOX Bet) to win the PGA Championship
"Mito winning the PGA would be about a break-even result for us in the PGA outright. We’ve laid him at prices as big as 200-1, but not a lot of action at those odds," Brossman said. "The next four guys – Fitzpatrick, Zalatoris, Young and Ancer – would all be positive results for us a well.
"Justin Thomas, currently sixth-best odds, would cost us some money as we’ve seen plenty of action on J.T. this past week leading up to the tournament."
Will one of the aforementioned golfers break through? We've seen some crazy Sundays over the last few tournaments, so buckle up.
