Dustin Johnson lines up a putt en route to grabbing a one-shot lead at the PGA Championship AFP/JAMIE SQUIRESAN FRANCISCO: Dustin Johnson drained eight birdies to fire a five-under par 65 and seize a one-shot lead after a blistering third round performance at the PGA Championship on Saturday .

Koepka, who is trying to become the first since the 1950s to win the same major three years in a row, looked unflappable until a bogey on the 13th hole began his back nine struggles. "The golf course is tough. Obviously a bogey would have been a lot nicer, but I knew I was playing good," he said of the ninth hole."I was putting good. I just needed to keep on going and put it behind me."

His results have been mixed in 2020 as he missed the cut at the Memorial, withdrew from the 3M Open with a bad back after an opening 78 and finished 12th at the WGC event in Memphis. On 15, he landed in a deep rough off the green and his chip fell well short, giving him another tough chip shot to get on the green.
