Back to back 66’s take Koepka to the lead!

The 2018 and 2019 PGA Championship winner Brooks Koepka seeks fifth major title and third in the event; holds 54-hole lead in second consecutive major

Viktor Hovland, Corey Conners each seek their first major title; the last two winners at Oak Hill were first-time major winners. (2013 PGA Championship - Jason Dufner, 2003 - Shaun Micheel).

Since 2000, 10 players have won the PGA Championship for their first major title: 2020 - Collin Morikawa, 2017 - Justin Thomas, 2016 - Jimmy Walker, 2015 - Jason Day, 2013 - Jason Dufner, 2011 - Keegan Bradley, 2010 - Martin Kaymer, 2009 - Y.E.

Leader (-6)

Brooks Koepka Posts second straight 66, his 17th round of 66 or better in a major, the most since 2012. He is the first player to have multiple rounds of 66 or better in an event at Oak Hill. The four-time major winner (2017 U.S. Open, 2018 U.S. Open, 2018 PGA Championship, 2019 PGA Championship) would become the 20th player to win five or more major titles with a victory. If he wins he would join only five players to have more than three PGA Championship titles including Jack Nicklaus & Tiger Woods.
