THE LEADERS - Brooks Koepka (70) at 12-under; Dustin Johnson (69), Luke List (69), Jazz Janewattananond (67) and Harold Varner (67) at five under.

THE AUSSIES - Adam Scott (72) at three under; Jason Day (69) at two over; Cameron Smith (74) and Lucas Herbert (73) at seven over.

BEST ROUND - 67 - American Varner and Thailand's Janewattananond.

TALKING POINT: Koepka's seven-shot lead is the largest 54-hole advantage in US PGA Championship history, while no player has ever lost a lead that large at the majors.

QUOTE OF THE DAY - "I don't know if the tournament is less fun because I'm (nine) shots back, but it's very melancholic. No one likes to play for second, but that's what he's doing to us." - American Xander Schauffele
