PGA Championship 2012 Winner: Rory McIlroy Sets Record In Eight-Stroke Victory

Rory McIlroy won the 2012 PGA Championship at the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island Golf Resort in South Carolina on Sunday.

McIlroy finished 13-under-par for the tournament and was 6-under on Sunday. Defending PGA Championship winner Keegan Bradley finished his tournament at 4-under-par and was tied for third. David Lynn finished second at 5-under-par for the tournament. Tiger Woods was a distant finisher in a tie for 11th place, at 2-under-par.

McIlroy's win was his second major championship victory. McIlroy also won the 2011 U.S. Open. McIlroy secured a large victory in both tournaments by playing his best golf on the weekend. His eight-stroke victory in a PGA Championship is a new record, breaking that of Jack Nicklaus (7) in 1980.

2012 PGA Championships Leaderboard Update: Rory McIlroy Is On Top

Rory McIlroy took sole control of the lead at the PGA Championship when third round action resumed on Sunday. By contrast, Vijay Singh, who was tied with McIlroy for the lead when play was suspended on Saturday, fell down to sixth on the leaderboard due to a rough finish to the third round. He's currently tied for sixth place with a 2-under par score of 214.

And while on the subject of falling down, Tiger Woods had his worst round yet in the third round with a score of 74. He's actually regressed each day, so if that's any indication of what's to come on Sunday (what used to be his best day), then it doesn't look good for Woods finally winning that elusive 15th major.

2012 PGA Championship Third Round: Jim Furyk 2-Under Par On Round Through 12

Jim Furykis recovering nicely from his second round 77 as he is 2-under par through 12 holes and 3-over par overall in the third round of the 2012 PGA Championship at The Ocean Course on Kiawah Island, SC.

Furyk was a bit inconsistent to start his round as he went birdie-bogey-birdie-bogey on holes two through six, but the West Chester, PA native finally moved to under par on the round when he birdied the 579 yard Par 5 seventh hole and made the turn with a 1-under 35.

Furyk moved to 2-under on the day with a birdie on the Par 5 11th and that's where he currently stands after recording a par on the 12th.

While Furyk still remains seven strokes behind co-leaders Carl Pettersson, Tiger Woods and Vigay Singh who all sit at 4-under par before they begin their third rounds, Furyk has quietly moved up 14 positions on the leaderboard and can set himself up for a Top 20 finish on Sunday.

2012 PGA Championship: Cut Line At 6-Over Sends Martin Kaymer And Others Home Early

The cut line for the 2012 PGA Championship has been placed at 6-over par, ending the tournament for a number of noted golfers, including some surprising names. Martin Kaymer, who was the winner of the event just two years ago, is already done for the weekend. Rickie Fowler (10-over) shares the same fate, as does Matt Kuchar (10-over), Hunter Mahan (8-over), Sergio Garcia (7-over) and Lee Westwood (7-over). Jim Furyk, who is Pennsylvania's representative in the field, just makes it inside the line at 5-over par. Playing it even close are world No. 1 Luke Donald and Jason Dufner, both of whom are 6-over par.

2012 PGA Championship Scores: Tiger Woods Tied For First After Second Round

Round 2 of the 2012 PGA Championship concluded Friday with Tiger Woods in a three way tie for first place, sitting at the top of the leaderboard with Vijay Singh and Carl Pettersson. West Chester, Penn. native Jim Furyk was 5-over on the day and slid 12 places in the rankings to settle in a tie for 57th.

Singh shot the low round of the day, moving in to first with a 3-under 69. Woods failed to improve on Thursday's 3-under, shooting just 1-under par. That was still good enough to move him into first, where the man who had opened the day in possession of the lead was struggling. Pettersson was 6-under after Thursday's 64, but a 2-over 74 left him sharing the lead with Woods and Singh.

Furyk is likely to make the cut, so he'll have a chance to improve his standing as the weekend continues. For a live leaderboard, head over to Golf.com.

PGA Championship Update: Jim Furyk At Even-Par After Round 1

Late into the opening round of the PGA Championship, Westchester, Pa., native Jim Furyk is at even-par with a score of 72. A lot of golfers are right there with him, but just eight others who have finished the round are tied with Furyk for 49th place.

It was a slow start for Furyk, who bogeyed the second hole. But he eventually got into a rhythm with a birdie put on No. 4 and later on 10, 14 and 15 through the back nine. Like others, though, Furyk had trouble with the last few holes, as he double-bogeyed 16 and bogeyed 18.

Tiger Woods finished the day at 3-under with a score of 69. Defending champion Keegan Bradley finished at 4-under with a score of 68.

A complete leaderboard is available here.

PGA Championship Leaderboard 2012: Jim Furyk Even After 10

The first round of the PGA Championship is underway on the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island in South Carolina. The leaderboard is tightly packed at the top with golfers swinging away to create some distance early. Pennsylvania native Jim Furyk is even after ten holes of play. Ken Duke and Carl Pettersson are tied for the lead at 4-under, having completed 12 and eight holes respectively.

Furyk started off with a birdie on the tenth hole, and hit par on the next three before two birdies. He ran into trouble on the 16th when he double bogeyed. He was two strokes over on the 18th hole as well, and needs a strong showing on the front nine to climb the leadboard on the first day.

Tiger Woods is 1-under after nine holes. Ditto Keegan Bradley, the defending champion.

A complete leaderboard is available from PGA.com.

PGA Championship 2012: Picks And Predictions

On Thursday, the Ocean Course on Kiawah Island is the setting for the 94th PGA Championship. If the fourth and final major of the year is anything like the first three, sit back and enjoy the show.

Here are a few men to watch closely as favorites this week to earn glory.

Tiger Woods is usually a prime candidate to win. Big surprise, he is once again. Woods is the favorite of many fans and experts to win despite not having come through in recent majors.

Farrell Evans of ESPN.com feels Woods' time has come to break out of his majors funk.

Jim Furyk is a man who has been so close, yet so far in recent times. Unfortunately, nobody can forget the meltdown he suffered in the U.S. Open earlier this summer. Although, being so close shows that the West Chester, PA native is in the hunt and still someone to be reckoned with. Bob Harig of ESPN thinks Furyk will break through this weekend.

Rory McIlroy is a top talent, but that goes without saying. He hasn't enjoyed the massive success some expected this year, but he's put together a fine year. He's expected to be in the fray, listed as a 10/3 favorite by multiple books.

Jason Dufner is perhaps the most underrated player in the field by the general public. He's been a top-performer this campaign and could make waves this weekend. He's a bold prediction of many including Chris Dunham, Ryan Smithson and Brian Wacker of PGATour.com.
