Joost Luiten had raced to eight-under-par through 14 holes, but bogeyed each of his final four holes to fall back into the pack. World number one Luke Donald struggled to an opening 74 (+2), but number two Tiger Woods shot 69 (−3) in the morning wave of players.https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2012/aug/10/rory-mcilroy-us-pga-championship?INTCMP=ILCNETTXT3487 Rory McIlroy looking strong after first round of US PGA Championship August 10, 2012 Guardian UK August 13, 2012 PlacePlayerScoreTo par1 SWE Carl Pettersson66−6 T2 ESP Gonzalo Fernández-Castaño67−5 NIR Rory McIlroy SWE Alex Norén USA Gary WoodlandT6 AUS Aaron Baddeley68−4 USA Keegan Bradley USA John Daly NED Joost Luiten NIR Graeme McDowell AUS Geoff Ogilvy USA Scott Piercy AUS Adam Scott Second round Friday, August 10, 2012 The wind gusted 20 – 30 mph -1 on throughout the day on Friday, making conditions much tougher than the first round of the tournament. Scoring was the toughest on record since the championship assumed a strokeplay format in 1958, with the average round being over 78; 72 players made the cut which fell at 150 (+6). Leader Pettersson backed up with a 74 (+2) but that was good enough to stay in a tie for the lead with two other players: Vijay Singh, the 1998 and 2004 champion, shot the lowest round of the day, 69 (−3), while Tiger Woods also rose into a tie for the lead with a 71 in which he made three birdies and two bogeys and stroked only 26 putts. The tough conditions and long course created very slow play; one player, Luiten, chose to complete his second round early on Saturday morning (the other two in his threesome chose to finish their rounds in near-darkness on Friday). He birdied the eighteenth for a round of 76 (+4), which put him at even-par 144.https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/golf/uspga/9468167/US-PGA-Championship-Tiger-Woods-in-the-hunt-for-15th-major-title-as-Ian-Poulter-climbs-up-leaderboard.html Tiger Woods in the hunt for 15th major title as Ian Poulter climbs up leaderboard August 11, 2012 Daily Telegraph August 13, 2012 PlacePlayerScoreTo parT1 SWE Carl Pettersson66-74=140−4 FIJ Vijay Singh71-69=140 USA Tiger Woods69-71=1404 ENG Ian Poulter70-71=141−3T5 WAL Jamie Donaldson69-73=142−2 NIR Rory McIlroy67-75=142T7 USA Blake Adams71-72=143−1 AUS Aaron Baddeley68-75=143 ZAF Trevor Immelman71-72=143 AUS Adam Scott68-75=143 Third round Saturday, August 11, 2012 Sunday, August 12, 2012 Weather conditions continued to worsen, and a fierce thunderstorm blew in late afternoon on Saturday, causing play to be postponed for the day with 26 of the 72 players still out on the course. Until the delay, scoring had been a little easier: world number 3 Rory McIlroy surged early with five birdies in his opening eight holes, and a remarkable par save on the third after his drive lodged in a tree. However, a bogey on nine, his final hole of the day, dropped him back into a share of the lead with two-time champion Singh, 26 years McIlroy's senior and attempting to become the oldest major winner in history. They led Adam Scott, also enjoying a fast start, by one, as Scott attempted to shrug off his near miss at the year's previous major. Woods struggled early and was three-over par with a lengthy putt for par at the eighth when play was halted. The overnight clubhouse lead was held by Bo Van Pelt, who carded a five-under 67 early to move to three-under for the week.https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2012/aug/11/lee-westwood-us-pga-championship Rory McIlroy ready to pull up trees at US PGA Championship August 11, 2012 Guardian UK August 13, 2012 Weather delay The leaderboard when play was halted on Saturday at 4:50 pm EDT: PlacePlayerScoreTo parHoleT1 NIR Rory McIlroy 67-75-32=174 −6 9 FJI Vijay Singh 71-69-27=167 73 AUS Adam Scott 68-75-32=175 −5 94 SWE Carl Pettersson 66-74-32=172 −4 8T5 USA Bo Van Pelt 73-73-67=213 −3 F ZAF Trevor Immelman 71-72-38=181 10T7 USA Steve Stricker 74-73-67=214 −2 F SWE Peter Hanson 69-75-47=191 12 NIR Graeme McDowell 68-76-43=187 11 ENG Ian Poulter 70-71-33=174 8 Conclusion Play resumed Sunday at 7:45 am EDT PlacePlayerScoreTo par1 NIR Rory McIlroy67-75-67=209−72 SWE Carl Pettersson66-74-72=212−4T3 ZAF Trevor Immelman71-72-70=213−3 AUS Adam Scott68-75-70=213 USA Bo Van Pelt73-73-67=213T6 SWE Peter Hanson69-75-70=214−2 FJI Vijay Singh71-69-74=214 USA Steve Stricker74-73-67=214 USA Tiger Woods69-71-74=214T10 WAL Jamie Donaldson69-73-73=215−1 IRL Pádraig Harrington70-76-69=215 ENG David Lynn73-74-68=215 NIR Graeme McDowell68-76-71=215 ENG Ian Poulter70-71-74=215 USA Jimmy Walker73-75-67=215 Final round Sunday, August 12, 2012 Ian Poulter made an early charge by making five birdies in a row to start his round, but his charge fizzled on the back nine and he finished with four bogeys in the last six holes. Pettersson was in contention early in the round with a front nine 34 despite a rules infraction where he received a two-stroke penalty from moving a leaf in a lateral hazard, though he also fell out of contention on the back nine when McIlroy pulled away. Defending champion Keegan Bradley tied for third after a final-round 68. McIlroy shot a bogey-free 66 (−6) with only 24 putts, winning the championship by a record eight strokes, capped with a 20 ft 0 on in birdie putt on the final hole. The previous PGA record winning margin was seven strokes, by Jack Nicklaus at age forty in 1980, his 17th major.http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-pga-championship-20120813,0,5513097.story https://web.archive.org/web/20120813200249/http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-pga-championship-20120813,0,5513097.story dead August 13, 2012 Eight is more than enough for Rory McIlroy to win the PGA Shain Jeff August 13, 2012 Los Angeles Times August 13, 2012https://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/13/sports/golf/mcilroy-wins-pga-dominating-another-major.html?_r=1&hp McIlroy Dominates Another Major Pennington Bill August 12, 2012 The New York Times August 13, 2012https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2012/aug/13/rory-mcilroy-victory-us-pga Rory McIlroy surges to brilliant victory in US PGA at Kiawah Island Murray Ewan August 12, 2012 The Guardian August 13, 2012https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/golf/uspga/9470429/Rory-McIlroy-steps-up-the-challenge-to-win-second-major-at-the-US-PGA-Championship.html Rory McIlroy steps up the challenge to win second major at the US PGA Championship August 13, 2012 Daily Telegraph August 13, 2012 PlacePlayerScoreTo parMoney ($)1 NIR Rory McIlroy 67-75-67-66=275 −131,445,0002 ENG David Lynn73-74-68-68=283 −5865,000T3 USA Keegan Bradley68-77-71-68=284−4384,500 SWE Carl Pettersson66-74-72-72=284 ENG Ian Poulter70-71-74-69=284 ENG Justin Rose69-79-70-66=284 T7 USA Blake Adams71-72-75-67=285−3226,000 WAL Jamie Donaldson69-73-73-70=285 SWE Peter Hanson69-75-70-71=285 USA Steve Stricker74-73-67-71=285 Scorecard Final round Hole  1    2    3    4    5    6   7  8  9 101112131415161718Par454434534 454434534NIR McIlroy −7−8−9−9−9−9−10−10−10−10−10−11−11−11−11−12−12−13ENG Lynn −1−2−2−2−2−2−3−3−3−3−4−3−3−3−3−4−5−5USA Bradley +1EEEE−1−2−2−2−2−2−3−4−4−4−4−4−4SWE Pettersson −2−2−3−4−5−5−6−6−6−5−5−5−5−5−5−4−4−4ENG Poulter −2−3−4−5−6−6−7−6−6−6−7−8−7−6−5−5−5−4ENG Rose +1E−1−1EE−1−2−2−2−2−2−3−4−4−5−4−4USA Woods −2−3−3−3−3−3−4−4−4−4 −3−3−3−3−3−2−2−2 Cumulative tournament scores, relative to par {|class="wikitable" span = 50 style="font-size:85%; |- |style="background: Pink;" width=10| |Birdie |style="background: PaleGreen;" width=10| |Bogey |style="background: Green;" width=10| |Double bogey |} Source:http://www.pga.com/pgachampionship/scoring/leaderboard/2012 PGA Sports 2012 PGA Championship Leaderboard July 23, 2013 August 9, 2013 June 27, 2013 https://web.archive.org/web/20130627073334/http://www.pga.com/pgachampionship/scoring/leaderboard/2012 dead References 2 External links Official website Coverage on the European Tour's official site Kiawah Island Golf Resort 2012 Category:PGA Championship Category:Golf tournaments in South Carolina PGA Championship PGA Championship PGA Championship
