SAN FRANCISCO -- A long wait for the first golf major of 2020 is being rewarded with an impressive leaderboard and numerous possibilities heading into the final round of the PGA Championship.

With a similar cool forecast for Sunday, here's a look at the contenders heading into the final round, including Dustin Johnson and Brooks Koepka, who is within reach of a third straight PGA Championship and a fifth major title.

Johnson, 36, has now shot eight straight rounds in the 60s at the PGA Championship and is in position to win that elusive second major championship.

"I have been out here awhile now,'' said Johnson, whose lone major title came at the 2016 U.S.

This is new territory for Scheffler, 24, who is playing in just his fourth major championship and his first PGA.

He is one back of Johnson and will play with him in the final round.

"And I did a good job of that [in Saturday's round] just staying in the right frame of mine, making good, positive swings, and made some nice birdies.".

This is just the third major championship for Champ, 25, who tied for 54th at last year's PGA.

Three birdies near the end of his round on Saturday helped get him in contention, just two back, after starting the day six behind.

To have a chance, I had to shoot a pretty good round, at least.

The Englishman has quietly hung around with scores of 68-67-68 to give himself a shot at his first major championship.

Koepka is trying to become the first player since Peter Thomson won The Open from 1954 to 1956 to win a major in three straight years.

He has never finished better than 15th in a major, and this is his best opportunity, just three behind Johnson

Open champion has plenty of experience in big events, and he shot 66 in the first round here

He added two more bogeys and had just one birdie for the round to shoot 73 and fall four strokes back

Joel Dahmen, at age 32 and playing in just his third major, would be an ultimate underdog winning; he sits four back
