Brooks Koepka uses eagle, 3 closing birdies to seize share of lead

PARAMUS, N.J. -- One swing changed everything for Brooks Koepka and sent him into a share of the lead at the Northern Trust.

Koepka swung as hard as he could with a 3-wood from just under 310 yards and reached the 631-yard 13th hole in two. He made eagle, closed with three straight birdies and had a 6-under 65.

That gave the U.S. Open and PGA champion a share of the lead with Jamie Lovemark.

Adam Scott had the low round of the tournament with a 64 and was one shot behind, followed by Dustin Johnson, who had another 67.
