Brooks Koepka on derailed PGA three-peat bid: 'Wasn't meant to be'

Brooks Koepka finally ran out of major momentum.

Seeking to become the first player in more than 60 years to win the same major three years in a row, and the first to do it at the PGA Championship since the 1920s, Koepka began the final round just two shots off the lead. But while low scores were abundant and several players rolled in birdies while jockeying for position, the two-time defending champ came up empty.

Koepka dropped a shot on No. 2, went out in 39 and didn't make a birdie until the 12th hole.
