The unlikeliest of golfers sit atop the PGA Championship leaderboard midway through Saturday’s third round, but in a week that’s seen Tiger Woods miss the cut and many of the other contenders falter, it should come at no surprise. Brendan Steele and Jason Dufner are two shots clear of the field during Saturday’s round, sharing the lead at 7-under for the tournament. Steele is through 12 holes while Dufner, playing in the final group, is through 10.
