(Reuters) - With each mammoth drive and perfect putt, Brooks Koepka is turning the PGA Championship into his personal showcase and converting his competitors to admirers. Koepka's second day on the Bethpage Black course on Friday was reminiscent of the type of dominance that playing partner Tiger Woods once had. "Relative to the field, I was about that long, early in my career," Woods told reporters after watching Koepka fire a five-under-par 65 that took him to 12-under and a seven-stroke advantage. "Yeah, I'd like to see that lead grow as large as it possibly can," Koepka said. The 29-year-old Koepka's success -- he has won three of his last seven major tournaments -- has earned praise from his fellow professionals.
