FARMINGDALE, N.Y. (Reuters) - Brooks Koepka said his "tunnel-vision focus" was key to his success in major tournaments as he held onto his record seven-stroke lead going into Sunday's final round of the PGA Championship.

Koepka ended the third round on Saturday with the same lead as he started it, combining the strength of tungsten with the precision of a calligrapher in a near-clinical even-par 70 in brilliant sunshine at the demanding Bethpage Black.
