On Saturday, Koepka achieved an impressive streak of five consecutive birdies in the second half of the course, culminating in a score of 65 strokes, six under par. This outstanding round placed him at the top of the leaderboard, seeking his first victory in over a year.\n\nKoepka shares the lead with Min Woo Lee, who signed a card of 68 strokes, for a total of 11 under par (202). Both lead by one stroke a group of pursuers, among whom is Michael Kim, another American golfer participating in the tournament.\n\nThis is the third consecutive week that Koepka has competed on the European tour, after failing to make the cut at the Irish Open and the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>I feel like my game has been going in the right direction. The results haven&#8217;t been what I expected, but I feel closer. I am satisfied with the work I have done in the last few months, and although it hasn&#8217;t been reflected in the results, I hope to have the opportunity to win tomorrow.<\/p><cite>Brooks Koepka<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nKoepka attributed his good performance at the Golf de Saint-Nom-La-Bret\u00e8che mainly to his good putting game.
