The Latest: Jordan Spieth winning the vote of fans at PGA (The Associated Press)

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (AP) -- The Latest from the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits (all times local):

1:03 p.m.

Lefty's putter isn't quite so friendly today.

Phil Mickelson missed two birdie putts inside of 10 feet on the second and third holes and is even par for the day.

Mickelson made a few long ones Saturday during a round of 6-under 66.

He is too far out of the lead - 10 behind Jason Day - to contend, but needs a strong finish to improve his ranking on the Presidents Cup list.

Well, if this doesn't work out, there's always 2016.

Spotted on the course: A band of fans handing out T-shirts that read 'Spieth for President,' with a picture of the man himself, encircled by a red-white-and-blue flag logo.

If Jordan Spieth wins the PGA, he'll be the first player to capture all three U.S. majors in the same year.

Jordan Spieth is on the driving range warming up for the final round of the PGA Championship.

He's going for his third major of the season, hoping to add a victory at Whistling Straits to those from Augusta and Chambers Bay earlier this year.

If Spieth wins, this would mark the first time since 1982 that Americans swept the majors. The names back then: Craig Stadler (Masters), Tom Watson (U.S. and British Open) and Raymond Floyd (PGA).

Spieth needs to overcome a two-shot deficit against Jason Day, the Australian who is trying to win his first major after a number of close calls.

10:38 a.m.

The final round of the final major of the year is under way.

Good scores are available.

Teeing off early Sunday, Ryan Moore made six birdies and played the front nine in 6-under 30.

Kevin Chappell is 4 under for the day through 12 holes.

Thirty of the 77 players shot rounds in the 60s on Saturday.

That included Branden Grace, who shot 64 to move into third place, three shots behind leader Jason Day, who shot 66 to head into the final round at 15 under.

Jordan Spieth shot 30 on the back nine to pull within two of Day.

Spieth and Day tee off in the last twosome this afternoon.

Two Naked Pics Of Holly Sonders. The Big News To Emerge From The 2013 PGA Show

Image
The media centre at the 2013 PGA Show was buzzing yesterday.  Not because of anything that happened at the show.  God forbid! When I rocked in, several men (and one woman) were gathered around an iphone ogling and sharing  two pics of who they claimed were Holly Sonders naked. Now I have to hold my hands up and say, I had to google her to find out she’s from The Golf Channel. I don’t watch the Golf Channel because I don’t have an erectile dysfunction problem or need to rent a car from National.  I’m told adverts for both are all that’s on that channel. How they knew for certain it was her, I dont know.  Unless the cheeks of her ass were on her passport photo and they recognized them from there, but I doubt it. The First Pic The first pic is taken from behind. No pun intended.  The media guys say it was taken by her fiancee (?) and shows Holly in a white thong which has disappeared a dangerously long ways into the bummage.  I’m talking two aerial liquitabs and a hot whit

Sarah Stirk Nipple Gate: Navy Top Leaves Viewers Disappointed

Image
London: Sky Sports management this morning issued a statement  apologizing to subscribers after Sarah Stirk wore a navy dress live on air.  It is believed up to 60,000 horny golfers were left limp after they tuned in to final round coverage of the Valero Texas Open in the hope of getting a glimpse of the legendary Stirk starter buttons. “I pay my subscription, I’m bloody well entitled to see Sarah’s Wimbledon strawberries” said factory worker Paul Manning 52 from Hereford. “I even missed the ten minute freeview, coz my mate Derek tweeted that Stirk was going into the shot centre for ten minutes at 11pm”. The Sky statement read: We apologize unreservedly for the navy dress Sarah wore during last nights broadcast, through which no nipples were visible. This was due to a wardrobe malfunction. However we do intend to rectify this during our US Masters coverage and assure viewers that plenty of bridge rivets will be on show, both from Sarah and special guest Colin Montgomeri
