PGA Championship 2015 Schedule: Sunday Tee Times, TV, Live Stream, Predictions

Joseph ZuckerAug 16, 2015

The 2015 PGA Championship is shaping up to be a tremendous conclusion of this year's major season as Jordan Spieth and Jason Day will battle it out in the final group Sunday at Whistling Straits.

Through 54 holes, Day owns a slim two-shot lead on Spieth, with Justin Rose and Branden Grace three shots back:

A double-bogey on No. 15 aside, Day was fantastic on the back nine during the third round. A birdie on No. 14 capped off a six-hole stretch in which he gained six strokes. Of course, Spieth did him one better, shooting an unfathomable six-under 30 on the back nine and running to seven-under for the round.

While it's no guarantee Day and/or Spieth will remain near the top of the leaderboard for the entirety of Sunday's action, it's impossible to ignore the potential drama of those two going head-to-head in Round 4 with the Wanamaker Trophy at stake.

Here's a quick look at the day ahead.

Prediction

It's always lazy to try to call a big young star in golf "the next Tiger Woods." With that said, Spieth is rapidly gaining the kind of aura Woods seemed to possess in his prime when entering the final round of a major tournament.

Once that red shirt went on, Woods was a completely different golfer. That shirt was in essence a suit of armor, making him capable of superhuman feats.

Spieth doesn't have that one identifiable trademark, but there's the same sense of inevitability once he steps on the course in the final round that Woods carried years ago: Spieth is going to win, and nobody can do anything to stop him.

And Saturday's round illustrated how quickly the 22-year-old can go from really good to otherworldly.

"The holes started to look bigger," Spieth said of his third-round back nine, per GolfChannel.com's Mercer Baggs. "A lot of times it just takes one to go for me to really find that extra confidence, that extra little pop in my stroke."

The thing about Spieth is that the margin for error when playing against him is so small since he generally does so little wrong on the course. He has had two bogeys the entire tournament, the last of which came on his third hole of the second round.

But let's not sell Day short here. After all, he has the two-shot lead over Spieth, not the other way around.

Few players have been as consistent in major tournaments as the 27-year-old Australian. But for whatever reason, Day hasn't finished the job, per Golf Central:

"It's very difficult to try and close on a Sunday at a major championship," Day said Wednesday, per Golf Digest's Joel Beall. "But the more times that I keep putting myself there, the more opportunities that I give myself, sooner or later, it's going to happen."

This could be the tournament he finally breaks his major duck. Day has improved with each subsequent round, starting with a four-under 68 in the first and following with a five-under 67 in the second before Sunday's 66.

And he's clearly focused on continuing that trend, per GolfChannel.com's Jay Coffin:

While Grace, Rose, Martin Kaymer, Tony Finau and Matt Jones all have a chance of winning the PGA Championship, the result will in all likelihood hinge on who wins the battle between Spieth and Day.

This is perhaps Day's best chance yet of seizing that first major title, but it isn't wise to bet against Spieth on the last day of a marquee event.

Winner: Jordan Spieth
