PGA Championship 2013: How to View Live Updates on Day 3 Scores

Saturday may be historically marked as "moving day" during golf tournaments but Friday's second round sure saw a lot of shuffling on the leaderboard at the 2013 PGA Championship.

On a day where Oak Hill Country Club again played into the players' favor thanks to some overnight precipitation, only those who went low in Round 2 lived to tell their tale. Pre-tournament favorites such as Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Rory McIlroy have all but seen their chance at capturing the year's final major fall by the wayside, their mediocre weekdays making for early-morning weekend starts.

Standing atop the leaderboard after 36 holes is Jason Dufner, whose score of nine-under gives him a two-stroke lead over Adam Scott, Jim Furyk and Matt Kuchar heading into Saturday's action. Dufner carded a course-record 63 Saturday, coming within one birdie putt on the 18th of becoming the first player in history to shoot a 62 during a major championship.

He was just one of many to go lower than expected Friday, with Webb Simpson's tying of the course-record 64 earlier in the day all but being wiped out of the lexicon by Dufner's effort. In total, 12 players currently sit at four-under through 36 holes—otherwise known as the score Shaun Micheel won this event with a decade ago at Oak Hill. For the record, Micheel went 76-76 and won't be seeing the weekend to defend his title.

That said, plenty of the world's top golfers will be in action Saturday. The third round shouldn't play to so many low scores, with the pin placement and greens likely to play harder as officials look for a finishing score more representative of a major championship.

Golfers have combined in the three majors to win with a combined score of 11-under this year. Should the PGA pass that number by itself, no one involved at Oak Hill will be very happy.

Will players continue shattering the course? Let's check in on a complete look at everything you need to know about Saturday's round and find out.

Storylines to Watch For

Can Jason Dufner Hold on to His Lead This Time?

If you were worried that we had somehow invented time travel overnight and you had woken up in the past—don't worry. This is still 2013. Justin Bieber is still the biggest pop star on the planet. Jay-Z is still better at being a sports agent than rapping. 

And, yes, Jason Dufner again sits atop a major championship leaderboard through 36 holes. Dufner has now held the top spot at a major in three straight years, with the first two coming at the 2011 PGA and the second at last year's Masters.

As one might surmise from Dufner, you know, not having won a major and stuff, he hasn't parlayed those good starts into Sunday triumph. 

In his first crack atop the 36-hole leaderboard, Dufner damn near won the PGA two years ago. He played Highlands with a beautiful, steady hand on Saturday, carding a two-under 68 to share the lead through 54. With a major championship staring him in the face, Dufner came out Sunday firing. He went four-under through his first 14 holes, taking a five-stroke lead at 11-under with four holes to play.

Those holes didn't go well.

Dufner smacked his tee shot on 15 into the water to set up bogey, followed it up with another over-par score on the 16th and then one more to move back to eight-under. Meanwhile, Keegan Bradley had quietly made two birdies down the stretch, setting up a three-hole playoff where Dufner again shot himself in the foot with a bogey. Bradley won the playoff by one stroke.

At his very next try at a major, Dufner again found himself in a position to win through 36 holes. And, again, things fell apart. After shooting five-under through the first two rounds at Augusta, he went 75-75 over the weekend and looked on as Bubba Watson tried on a green jacket for size.

I'm somewhere between 97.5 and 97.75 percent sure that's what he was thinking about when the whole Dufnering meme started.

So what makes this different from the last two times? If you're into the whole lazy narrative way of things, not all that much. He's still only halfway through the tournament. He still has more decorated players nipping at his heels such as Adam Scott, Justin Rose and Jim Furyk.

Those little sugarplum thoughts of him collapsing are still dancing in our heads, making the schadenfreudian folks—though I know no one who would take great pleasure from seeing Dufner suffer—wait to see another weekend disappointment.

Nothing has changed.

Except that it has. 

Those more concerned with narrative would be ignoring one thing—Dufner has never had an outright lead halfway through a major. There has always been someone standing hip-to-hip with him with the same stroke total.

Now? He has a two-stroke lead. Now? He has the experience of having done this before. Now? He's hitting shots that defy all comprehension.

I'm not necessarily wearing a campaign shirt that says bet on Dufner. Just don't go into this weekend expecting the same-old, same-old from him.

Can Scott or Rose Make It 2 for 2013?

I suppose, after what he did on Sunday at the Open Championship, we at least have to give Phil Mickelson some mention here. Lefty is at two-over for the event and 11 strokes off the lead. If the world's biggest ice-cream truck falls from the sky and tragically takes out all players currently under-par, then perhaps I guess we can say it's possible that Mickelson can still win this thing. 

Until the ice-cream truck of destruction comes, though? Sit down, Lefty. There are real 2013 major champions trying to make it an in-year twofer.

The Masters champion Scott has been a fixture atop the leaderboard for both rounds thus far. Buoyed by a streak of five straight birdies from holes Nos. 4 through 8 and another under-par score at the 14th, Scott was on the verge of challenging the course record Thursday. He faltered with a par on the 16th to end at five-under, giving him a share of the lead heading into Round 2.

While posting one of his more wildly varying rounds in recent memory—Scott's greatest trait is his consistency—the Australian kept himself nipping at Dufner's heels with a two-under second round. He carded five birdies against three bogeys, leaving frustrated that he left a possibly epic start on the table. 

That said, sitting two strokes out of the lead isn't a bad place to be. At the very least, it will get Donald Trump to confuse you with some other PGA-related person with one of the world's most common names:

Hey, at least the Donald didn't confuse PGA Adam Scott with actor Adam Scott, who stars as Ben Wyatt on NBC's Parks and Recreation. Who knows? With a win Sunday perhaps PGA Adam Scott can be as beloved in Australia as Lil' Sebastian is in Pawnee (probably not).

Either way, with Scott carding 11 birdies through the first two days, Dufner can't be too thrilled about seeing the man in the green jacket in his rearview.

Such is the feeling for Rose sitting back there as well. The world's fourth-ranked and perhaps most under-appreciated player in the world, Rose took advantage of Friday's amenable conditions to shoot a four-under 66.

But there may be no man more frustrated about the shots he's left on the course thus far than the U.S. Open winner. He had seven birdies in Round 2. That's two more than Dufner, who set a course record. Rose also happened to shoot three bogeys, giving him five in what's been an inconsistent (yet good) week for the 33-year-old South African-born Englishman.

He's had a particularly tough time with No. 18, carding two bogeys in as many days on Oak Hill's second-most difficult hole of the week. What's interesting is that Rose has actually played No. 17, the hole with the highest scoring average, at one-under. 

Sometimes the world doesn't make sense.

However, Rose's struggles on the day's final hole will certainly be something to watch—especially if he's in the hunt heading down the stretch.
