Wenchong Liang Introduces Chinese Golf To The 21st Century at The PGA

I thought I had seen it all, but noooooo!

Golf is full of surprises as weird names are still atop the leader board at the end of Day Three of the PGA Championship held at Whistling Straits in Kohler, Wisconsin.

The main attraction on Saturday was the Chinese professional Wenchong Liang.

Liang calmly shot a course record 64, then politely explained through his interpreter saying that he would like to bring golf to the public eye of his country from his good play and hopes to continue success tomorrow.

Our leader is currently at 12-under par, that being the sizzling Nick Watney, previously said from England, but if I bothered checking a fact or two, is from Northern California.

Watney just increased his lead to four shots at 13-under par. Watney is playing perfectly right now fairway to green.

Does Watney have the stones to finish this on Sunday is the question that many are thinking through the night as we await the final 18 holes of this great championship.

Six players are stacked up at nine-under-par, four shots behind.  Out of these good players one to two of them will make a serious run tomorrow, possibly.

Tiger Woods has finished with two birdies to fight his way back to three-under-par, 10 shots behind. Playing better, but for all intensive purposes out of this final major of the season.

This list has some well known players and a few players unknown to the fans here, but well known on the European PGA Tour.

Dustin Johnson is tied for second place at 10-under par, erasing memories of a bad U.S. Open finish.

Rory McIlroy is also at 10-under par, looking for his first major at a young age. Having  learned a lesson at the British Open, by not having that disastrous round that keeps you from winning on Sunday.

Along with that record 64 by Liang to get to 9-under par, Jason Day,Martin Kaymer,Zach Johnson,Bryce Molder, and Jim Furyk are all tied at 9-under par.

Steve Elkington playing along with Tiger Woods today was six-under-par, and reached minus eight for the weekend, just five shots back.

Here's the tricky question?

Who wins this major shootout tomorrow? I will look very closely at Jim Furyk as he seems in total control of his swing making another par to stay at nine-under-par now on the 15th hole.

Zach Johnson bogeyed the final hole and fell back to minus eight.

The top three players on this leader board are all in their 20's, as the young guns are out-shooting the old legends this week.

Matt Kuchar had a difficult time today, as the magic faded from the putter, and tee shots went hither and dither.

Steve Stricker has fought his way to four-under-par and tied for 21st after a miserable triple bogey on par three 17th hole yesterday.

No one is making a move on Watney yet, and a good round tomorrow say 68, 69 should win this.

Wenchang Liang flew in from Hong Kong on Sunday, after an 18 hour flight.

He had 18 practice holes in all, and is feeling pretty spaced out with the time difference and the fact that if the ball bounces strangely his way, he could jump into the professional golf conversation quickly.

Tomorrow's round should be pretty interesting and not at all predictable.

Watney finished with a bogey and has a three shot lead over Dustin Johnson and Rory McIlroy to start Sunday's round. Thanks so much for my readers support. I need all the publicity I can gather.
