Saturday Predictions

Walker Won't Slow Down

After a first-round five-under 65, Jimmy Walker spent over 85 percent of his holes scrambling, which meant that he missed a green in regulation and was still able to record a par or better. 

That isn't the kind of way to play, and a repeat of that could have proved disastrous to his second-day lead. Instead, Walker went out and stayed consistent by recording a four-under 66.

His greens in regulation were average at 69.44 percent, and his driving accuracy was even worse at 53.57 percent. 

But once again, it was his putter that paced him and helped him lower his score. He was able to knock down a number of long putts, including a 26-footer on No. 12 and a 38-footer on No. 13, which can be seen via the European Tour:

If his putter remains that hot, then he's going to stay in contention not only on Saturday but Sunday as well.

Jason Day Will Lead After Round No. 3

Much to the chagrin of many golfers among the leaderboard, defending PGA Championship title-winner Jason Day's ridiculous finish to the second round might be indicative of things to come on Saturday. 

After going two over through No. 7, Day ignited with birdies on Nos. 8-10 and 12-15, which was a stretch of seven birdies in eight holes. On the back nine, he recorded a seven-under 26 as he now has a ton of momentum heading into the second half of this tournament. 

Even Golf.com was having difficulties finding the words to describe just how good Day was over the final 11 holes:

While his powerful driving wasn't the most accurate at 53.57 percent (just like Walker's), Day hit over 91 percent of his greens in regulation, which set him up brilliantly to lower his scores. 

There is a reason why Jason Day is the No. 1 golfer in the world and on such a big stage, there is no doubt in my mind that the Australian will finish up Saturday in the lead with 18 holes to go.
