Brooks Koepka Dominates Headlines at 2023 PGA Championship.

Brooks Koepka leads the PGA Championship by two strokes after carding a 66 for the second day in a row, putting him in position to become just the third player to win the tournament three or more times. Viktor Hovland is in the top three heading into the final round for the third consecutive major, while Corey Conners is one shot behind Koepka and looking to become the first Canadian to hold an outright 54-hole lead in a men's major championship. Rainy conditions made fairways more receptive but the high rough was even more penalizing, and only seven players are under par entering the final round.
