“I’m just going to have a lot of fun” – Sahith Theegala expresses excitement heading into final showdown at PGA Championship 2024

The 2024 PGA Championship is turning out to be a great tournament for Sahith Theegala. After three rounds of golf at The Valhalla Golf Club, Theegala is in third place. He currently trails Collin Morikawa and Xander Schauffele, who are tied for first place.

In Round 3 of the competition, which took place on Saturday, he scored a 4 under 67 to achieve third place and is in a good position to even win the tournament. In a media interaction after Round 3, he explained that he plans to enjoy the final day of action.

Sahith Theegala said:

"I'm just going to have a lot of fun tomorrow. I'll be nervous and it's going to be great to embrace those nerves because it's a feeling you don't get often."

Xander Schauffele and Collin Morikawa currently hold a one-stroke lead over Theegala, and the latter could overtake them should they slip up.
