3 years ago - Sportingbase
The 2023 PGA Championship is set to commence on Thursday from Oak Hill Country Club in Pittsford, New York, a suburb of Rochester. Here are the top five pairings over the first two rounds.
5) Shane Lowry/Jordan Spieth/Viktor Hovland
There will be significant interest in this group because Jordan Spieth of Dallas, Texas missed the AT&T Byron Nelson this past weekend with a wrist injury. It will be interesting to see how healthy he will be. Spieth is a three-time major champion as he won the 2015 Masters, 2015 United States Open, and 2017 British Open. Lowry of Clara, Ireland won the 2019 British Open, while Hovland of Oslo, Norway, is not a major champion, but is ranked 11th in the world.
4) Jason Day/Keegan Bradley/Bryson DeChambeau
Day, Bradley, and DeChambeau have all won a major in their career. Day of Beaudesert, Australia, who won the Byron Nelson this past weekend, won the 2015 PGA Championship. Bradley of Woodstock, Vermont, won the 2011 PGA Championship, and DeChambeau of Modesto, California, won the 2020 United States Open.
