On Sunday at Kiawah Island’s Ocean Course Brooks Koepka (-6) will enter the final round of the 2021 PGA Championship one shot back of overnight leader Phil Mickelson

Louis Oosthuizen was 5-under-par, one clear of Kevin Streelman and two ahead of countrymen Branden Grace and Christiaan Bezuidenhout.

Of the names atop the leaderboard, Mickelson will be the clear rooting favorite among the golf fans but Koepka is the clear betting favorite.

Asked what it means to be in the final group with a potential fifth major just 18 holes away, Koepka said, “It just feels good, feels normal. It’s what you’re supposed to do, what you practice for.

“I’m right where I want to be, and we’ll see how tomorrow goes. Just be within any within three of the lead going into the back nine and you’ve got a chance.”

With that, here are the storylines, and things to know, if Koepka starts pulling away and ends up in the winner’s circle.
