Second round leader Li Haotong plays a shot from the fourth tee during the third round of the 2020 PGA Championship at TPC Harding Park AFP/JAMIE SQUIRESAN FRANCISCO: China No 1 Li Haotong, trying to become the second Asian man to win a major title, slid down the leaderboard after shooting a three-over 73 in Saturday's third round of the PGA Championship.

Li stands at five-under 205 for the tournament, only four strokes back of the leader, American Dustin Johnson, and he could still be a factor in the final round if he can hit more fairways. Ranked 114th in the world, Li is hoping four solid rounds of golf in California can vault him back into the top 50 in the world rankings."He has got all the weapons in the bag," Scott said after Friday's round."You know, I guess I'd call it erratic, but he has got all the tools... I seem to remember him shooting a great round on a Sunday at a British Open a few years back.

"He's young, though, and that's the kind of golf he plays. He plays pretty much all guns blazing, and when it comes off, it's really good."
