Brooks Kopeka is 47 under par in his past five PGAs. ... Jordan Spieth gets his third crack at the career Grand Slam, lacking only the PGA Championship. None of the other five players with the career slam completed it at the PGA. ... Justin Thomas is sitting out the PGA to let a bone bruise in his right wrist heal.
