Golf News: Koepka leads PGA Championship by seven shots after third round

Brooks Koepka will begin the fourth round of the 101st US PGA Championship at 12 under par and holding a seven-stroke advantage. Hope among all others is publicly forlorn and privately non-existent. Barring a delivery of kryptonite to Bethpage, or someone placing explodable balls in his golf bag overnight, Koepka will win his fourth major in eight attempts. Koepka's 36-hole total of 128 after rounds of 63 and 65 is the lowest two-round score in major championship history and leaves him well placed to win his fourth major from the last eight he has played. Playing partner Tiger Woods did not fare so well, and despite flashes of brilliance, a round of 73 means he missed the cut by a shot on five over par. In the chasing pack are Jordan Spieth and Adam Scott on five under par, while five players - four Americans and one Briton - Matt Wallace - lie a further shot back at the halfway stage.
