A star-studded Moving Day at the 2020 PGA Championship saw nearly a handful of players tied for the lead at one point.

By the end of the day, there were 11 golfers within three strokes of the lead heading into Sunday's final round at TPC Harding Park. .

The first major championship of 2020 has nearly guaranteed a must-see finish with Dustin Johnson holding the 54-hole lead at 9 under while Brooks Koepka, Jason Day, Bryson DeChambeau and Tony Finau are among those still in striking distance.

Of course, established names aren't the only ones in the mix as Scottie Scheffler, Cameron Champ and Collin Morikawa are among those who would love to kickstart their budding careers with a major win on Sunday afternoon in San Francisco. .

D.J., Scheffler and Morikawa soared to the top of the leaderboard by posting 65s, but the late-afternoon groups were left grinding through foggy, windy conditions that made scoring difficult.

has 17 birdies through three rounds.

While his 65 on Saturday tied for round of the day -- and his eight birdies were the best in any major round throughout his career -- it could have been even better if not for a bogey on No!

Brooks Koepka, Collin Morikawa, Paul Casey (-7): There's nothing more enticing than seeing Koepka bounce back from three straight bogeys on the back nine to birdie two of his final three holes and then say that his game was better than what the score reflects.

Morikawa defied the expectations for his game with a hot putter in his rise up the leaderboard, while Casey will be looking to change the narrative around his game as a solid player who ends up a stroke or two away from trophy-hoisting at the end of the championship. .

Bryson DeChambeau, Tony Finau, Justin Rose, Jason Day, Daniel Berger, Tommy Fleetwood (-6): Just an absolute group of studs here three strokes off the lead with two major winners and two of the players with wins since the restart included in the bunch.

DeChambeau was excellent on Saturday with seven birdies, the last of which was a 95-footer to close out his round of 66.

was up inside the top 20 and just four strokes off the lead following a birdie train on the front nine.

1 player in the world ran out of steam coming in and lost his place on the leaderboard with a couple of contention-costing bogeys down the stretch. .

Rory McIlroy and eight others (E): It looked like Rory might be ready to make some noise after two uninspiring rounds, but four bogeys on his final six holes kept the two-time PGA Championship winner from being in the mix heading into Sunday.
