Tiger Woods wouldn't even contemplate how it would feel to win his 15th major title, his first in more than a decade, after leaping into contention at the PGA Championship.

The 42-year-old former world No 1 fired a four-under-par 66 in Saturday's third round at Belleville Country Club to share sixth on eight-under 202, four back of leader Brooks Koepka after 54 holes.

"A long way to go before that happens," Woods said when asked about a 15th major title.

"I've got to shoot a low round tomorrow and hopefully it will be enough."
"It's soft, it's gettable and you can't just go out there and make a bunch of pars. You're going to have to make some birdies."
"It was fun. I got off to a good start," he said. "That was nice to be able to do something like that. I just wish I could have got myself a couple more shots closer to the lead... but there aren't a lot of guys up there in front of me."
"It just felt like all that I remembered playing with Tiger all those years, you know, when he was winning tournaments. It was really no different."
