PGA Championship Live Bets: Can Anyone Catch Mito Pereira?
It's time for the final round of the PGA Championship.
In what's been a roller coaster few days at the challenging Southern Hills, Mito Pereira has established himself a 3-stroke lead heading into the final round of the event. Not only would this be his first major victory, but this would be his first win since becoming a member of the PGA Tour.
Can he calm and nerves and hold on to the lead? The consensus odds have him at around +150 to pull it off.
Let's take a look at the top 10 golfers on the consensus odds list today to win the PGA Championship:

Live Bets to Win the PGA Championship
Matt Fitzpatrick +350
I will personally be rooting for Matt Fitzpatrick, as he was one of my pre-tournament picks in my betting preview, but I also think he's the best bet to make right now at +350.
Fitzpatrick is the most experienced amongst the four golfers at the top of the odds list. He may not have a win on North American soil yet, but his seven wins on the European Tour, including two championship events, proves he knows how to get the job done. He also gained 1.43 strokes on the field on Saturday with his approach play, which shows his iron game is getting dialed in at just the right time.
Unless you want to take a longshot, Fitzy is the bet to make.
Abraham Ancer +1800
Abraham Ancer sits at 4-under par, five strokes back from the leader. With that being said, he has the approach game to make a run at it today. He's gained 1.39 strokes on the field in this event with his approach play, so he'll need to keep that up to go on a run.
He has the skill set to pull it off, but he'll likely need Mito to stumble at the top.
Justin Thomas +2500
Even though Justin Thomas will be seven strokes off the lead when he tees off today, he still has a shot and might be worth a bet at 25/1. If Pereira stumbles, then -6 or -7 could end up being the winning score today. JT could certainly get to that mark, considering he shot a 67 in each of his first two rounds.
He's gained 1.74 strokes on the field with his putter this week, and that's usually the club that lets him down. If he can sharpen up his approach game and keep the flat stick hot, he could be in the mix down the stretch.
