PGA Championship staying at Harding Park, but without fans
The PGA of America has submitted plans to hold the PGA Championship at Harding Park without spectators, and the San Francisco Chronicle reports public health officials have approved it. An announcement was pending approval by San Francisco officials and was expected as early as Tuesday. It at least sets the PGA Championship for Aug. 6-9 at Harding Park, the public course along a golf landscape near the Pacific Ocean that includes Olympic Club, Lake Merced, San Francisco Golf Club and Cal Club. Harding Park will host its first major championship, having previously been host of two World Golf Championships one won by Tiger Woods (American Express Championship), the other by Rory McIlroy (Match Play Championship). Now that the PGA of America has its plan for its major championship, the next task is the Ryder Cup.

Cheers from a temporary grandstand erected in a backyard near the 16th tee box could be heard at the far end of the golf course.

The Dallas native who attended the Colonial at times growing up was asked if he would ever try to sneak on a course.

He was one off the lead, and his tie for second is his best 54-hole position since the Colonial last year. He shot 72 in the final round and tied for eighth. Harold Varner III, still looking for his first PGA Tour victory, started with a one-shot lead and birdied the opening hole.
