Brooks Koepka has fired a second straight 4-under 66 to surge into the lead through three rounds at the PGA Championship.
Koepka, who has four major championships to his credit, let a chance to win the Masters get away in the final round at Augusta National last month.
He’s responded with three solid and occasionally spectacular days of golf at rain-soaked Oak Hill to put him in position to win the fifth major of his career. Playing with former rival turned fellow LIV Golf member Bryson DeChambeau, Koepka made five birdies and one bogey during the third round, moving into the lead when he rolled in a 45-foot putt on the par-4 17th.Viktor Hovland is one back at 5 under following a 69, alongside Corey Conners, who shot 70. Conners led for much of the day before a shot out of a fairway bunker on the par-4 16th smacked into the lip and became plugged.
