Graham Delaet surging at the PGA Championship
Graham Delaet heads into the final round of the 2017 PGA Championship tied for seventh after he fired a blazing 68 on Saturday.
The 35 year-old has never won on the PGA Tour and sits five shots back of the leader Kevin Kisner but it was Delaet who was the talk of the town on Saturday at Quail Hollow.
It was his play from the 13th hole to the 16th that turned a few heads after he went on a streak of birdie, eagle, eagle and birdie before settling for par on the final two holes.
Delaet came within a hair of a hole-in-one on the par-4 14th hole.
OH MY, @GrahamDeLaet

Delaet has had an up and down year in 2017 with three top 10 finishes to his credit but he has yet to show that he is ready to take that next step in his career and challenge for his first title; until yesterday.
-6 in FOUR HOLES!!!!

He came into the PGA Championship flying well under the radar but after his play on moving day all eyes will be on him on Sunday as he attempts to leap frog the field and claim his first title.
Delaet will tee off at 2:15pm E.T
