The third round of the PGA Championship is underway at Baltusrol Golf Club.

The talk around the course was still about Robert Streb's second-round 63 that had him tied for the lead with Jimmy Walker. Streb became the 28th player to shoot a 63 in a major tournament. Greg Norman and Vijay Singh both did it twice.

Streb's 63 was the third in just a few weeks as Phil Mickelson and champion Henrik Stenson both had one in the British Open.

Walker followed an opening 65 that had him in the lead alone after the first round with a 66 to be at 9 under with Streb.

So far this year each major champion won one for the first time: Danny Willett in the Masters, Dustin Johnson in the U.S. Open and Stenson. Only three of the top 12 players after the PGA's second round had won a major - defending champion Jason Day, Stenson and Martin Kaymer.
