Cameron Chhim, assistant professional at Southern Hills Country Club, shot 78 in the third round and did not make the cut for the final round.

Tyler Collet shot 4-under-par 68 on PGA Golf Club’s Wanamaker Course and the PGA Assistant Golf Professional at John’s Island Club 15-under-par through three rounds is leading by a hefty seven strokes. His 54-hole score of 200 is tied for the second-lowest 54-hole score in Championship history, one shy of Jesse Mueller’s record of 199 (2022).

“Honestly, I’m not going to sugarcoat it, I was nervous all day long,” said Collet. “I’m proud of what I did. Just got to keep the nerves in control and win it or not.”
