FARMINGDALE, N.Y. -- Brooks Koepka is turning a public golf course into his private playground in the PGA Championship.
Staked to a seven-shot lead, Koepka never let anyone get closer than five shots Saturday as he powered his way to an ideal start and overcame a few sloppy mistakes for an even-par 70.
For the first time this week, he didn't touch any scoring records. That wasn't the objective.
Koepka kept his seven-shot lead going into a final round that feels more like a victory lap as he tries to join Tiger Woods as the only players to win back-to-back in stroke play at the PGA Championship.
