When it comes to playing on the biggest stage in golf, the smart money is usually on Brooks Koepka.

Koepka has a history of playing his best in the majors and after last week's performance in Memphis, he looks primed to make a run at the three-peat at the PGA Championship in San Francisco.Over the past five years, the 30-year-old American has been the most dominant player in the majors, winning two US Opens and the last two PGA Championships.

"That's something I'm really proud of. That I can always just hang in there mentally and hit the shot that I need to hit at the right time, and don't let off the gas pedal."Koepka had been battling a bad knee and subpar results before finishing tied for second last week at the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational.

"By Sunday, I'm mentally drained. It is more mentally exhausting with a major. I think that's one of the strengths of my game."
