Justin Thomas humbled rain-softened Medinah with dazzling shotmaking, firing a course-record 11-under par 61 to seize a six-stroke lead after the third round of the US PGA BMW Championship.

An incredible day for the 2017 PGA Championship winner left the 26-year-old American on 21-under 195 after 54 holes at the suburban Chicago layout.

"It was just one of those freaky days when you get in a zone," Thomas said.

"It was just one of those days when you hit it unbelievable.

"I was able to put it close to the holes and make the putts. One of those days."
"It was nice. That's something that was just a little bit of a bonus."
"I was so pumped up. Took a little off it and feathered it perfectly."
"This course is going to be gettable tomorrow and a lot of guys could do what I did today. I'm going to have a have another good round and see if we can make some history."
