Saturday’s Round 3 pin sheet at Aronimink put especially severe locations on holes 8 and 12, with the PGA Championship’s official X account publishing what players and broadcasters described as brutal placements.
Those setups followed Friday criticism from world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who called the Round 2 pins “kind of absurd” and the hardest he has seen since joining the Tour.
ESPN analyst Ken Brown said the target area on the par-3 8th was a “postage stamp,” showing only a tiny flat section where approach shots could stop without rolling away.
Rory McIlroy also questioned the course setup after Round 2, saying a tightly packed leaderboard signaled “not-great” conditions, keeping attention on whether officials had pushed difficulty too far.

Has Aronimink's extreme setup created a true test of skill or simply a lottery for the championship title?
