Koepka seizes record seven-shot PGA lead after 54 holes

Defending champion Brooks Koepka overcame struggles to grab a seven-stroke lead after Saturday's third round of the PGA Championship, the largest 54-hole advantage in tournament history.

Third-ranked Koepka, in prime position for his fourth major title, fired a level-par 70 at Bethpage Black to stand on 12-under 198 entering Sunday's final round.

"I feel confident. I feel good. I feel excited," Koepka said. "It's nice to have a seven-shot cushion. Just hit the center of the greens and try to par this place to death.

"(I'll) just stick to my routine, do what I'm doing. I'm not thinking of seven-shot lead, winning the tournament. I'm thinking of what I need to do on the first shot first tee."
"He's definitely, in these events, playing on a different level than most anyone else," four-time major winner Rory McIlroy said of Koepka. "It's awesome. It's so good. It's great to watch."
