Joey Sindelar holed a 3-wood from on the par-5 fifth hole for a double eagle, the rarest shot in golf and only the third in PGA Championship history.

Tiger Woods tied his record for the aggregate low score in PGA Championship history at 18 strokes under-par. He also became the first ever to win the PGA twice on the same course, and the first in the era of the modern Grand Slam to win two major championships in each of two successive years. Chad Campbell shot the low round of the day, a six-under 66, to finish in a tie for 24th.
