Golf: Brooks Koepka has smashed his driver and hit a tee marker in a LIV Gold event in Dallas.

Brooks Rages! Smashes driver & marker | 00:24South Africa ’s 20-year-old Aldrich Potgieter birdied six of the first eight holes and seized a two-stroke lead after Saturday’s third round of the US PGA Tour’s Rocket Classic.

“I just played really solid. Hit it really good. Gave myself a lot of chances,” Knapp said. “With how bunched as this leaderboard is... you have to try to make as many birdies as you can.” Potgieter took command early, blasting out of a bunker from 35 feet for birdie at the first then starting his birdie run with a putt from just inside eight feet at the fourth.

Potgieter, meanwhile, sank a birdie putt from just outside six feet at 13 to reach 19-under and restore a three-stroke edge. DETROIT, MICHIGAN - JUNE 28: Aldrich Potgieter of South Africa plays his shot from the fourth tee during the third round of the Rocket Classic 2025 at Detroit Golf Club on June 28, 2025 in Detroit, Michigan. Davis Thompson’s 66 to finish on 202 was the first PGA round since 2020 to feature three front-nine eagles. He made three in the first eight, starting with an 80-yard hole-out from the fairway at the opening hole.
