Summary
That gave the 27-year-old from Chile a 3-shot lead over Matt Fitzpatrick and Will Zalatoris.At stake for the 27-year-old Pereira is a chance to become the first PGA Tour rookie to win a major since Keegan Bradley in the 2011 PGA Championship."I was playing really good and suddenly I made four bogeys in five holes. He became the first player to reach 10 under for the championship with a 10-foot birdie putt on the par-5 sixth, and he stretched the lead to 5 shots when Zalatoris made another bogey.But then the Chilean took bogey on the par-3 eighth, chunked an approach from the fairway on the ninth and made bogey, had a wedge spin off the front of the green at No. 10 and into the bunker for bogey, and went over the 12th green for a fourth bogey in five holes.Zalatoris briefly caught him with a 35-foot birdie putt on the par-5 13th.
