The final round of the PGA Championship will be a great test of Brooks Koepka. Not of his golf skills, which are well-established, or his ability to close out a major, which is somehow more established, but of his view of majors. Koepka figures he will beat half the field because he is better. Another quarter of the field will change its approach because it’s a major, psyching themselves out. Some of the rest won’t play well. That leaves “a handful,” as Koepka has said.
Well, here we are, three rounds in. And there are more than a handful of guys standing between Koepka and his third straight PGA Championship.
