In the recently concluded Round 3, Spieth recorded four birdies and two bogeys to emulate a similar score as of the previous round. He closed his round on Saturday (May 10) at 2-under 68.

Jordan Spieth has never won the PGA Championship in his career. In fact, it is the only Major Championship that has prevented him from attaining the career grand slam.

He has won three out of four Major titles so far - The Masters and the US Open in 2015 and the Open Championship in 2017. His best finish at the PGA Championship came when he placed second in 2015 behind Jason Day.

Recently, a conversation between him and Rory McIlroy was reported ahead of the Truist Championship. The latter completed his career grand slam at Augusta National last month after winning the Masters for the first time in 16 years.

Spieth reportedly congratulated him for the iconic achievement this week to which McIlroy told him that it was his turn next week, possibly hinting at the upcoming PGA Championship. The US golfer replied to the statement saying (via Jack Hirsh on X):

"Yea, at Rory McIlroy Country Club…"
