:CHI Mito Pereira who's basically done nothing except being in the OG bronze medal playoffs last year leads the PGA Championship by three shots after three rounds. This will either be the biggest golfing upset in XXI century or another of these epic meltdowns in the final round

I would say that 2003 had some much larger upsets with Ben Curtis and Shaun Micheel

Pereira is in the top 100 and had a very fine 2021 season, dominating the Korn Ferry Tour and joining the PGA Tour with 3 top 10 results.
No doubt that it will be his best result by far, but he is a strong player.

Dominating the Korn Ferry Tour doesn't say much to say the very least. Back in 2003 it was still a time when older guys could still win. In the modern long range game it's way harder to come out of nowhere and win a major - unless maybe US Open decides to go nuclear with their courses.

:USA Dustin Johnson has resigned from the PGA Tour and joined the LIV Invitational Series. That's the most high-profile coup for the Saudi Arabia/Greg Norman series.
