Brooks Koepka is in familiar territory heading into Sunday at Golf de Saint-Nom-La-Bretèche. The Smash GC captain fired a 6-under 65 on Saturday to grab the 54-hole co-lead at the DP World Tour's FedEx Open de France, giving him a chance to claim his first worldwide victory since LIV Golf Greenbrier in 2024. He shares the lead at 11-under with Min Woo Lee, who shot a 3-under 68. Koepka and Lee are one shot ahead of a trio of players at 10-under: Marcus Armitage, Guido Migliozzi and Michael Kim.

Koepka’s third round featured eight birdies, including five consecutive from hole Nos. 13-17 to take the outright lead at the time. He missed a 6-foot-10-inch par putt on the par-3 18th after missing the green on his tee shot, dropping him to 11-under overall through 54 holes.
“It was pretty good," Koepka said. "I’m putting a lot better. I feel like my game’s been trending in the right direction. The results haven't been there, but I feel a lot closer. I'm pleased with the work I've put in over the last few months and nothing’s shown. So hopefully I’ll have a chance to win tomorrow."
Brooks Koepka currently T1 after three rounds at Open de France in Paris.

A win on Sunday would be the 10th different country in which he's won during his pro career.

The five-time major winner has had an up-and-down 2025 season but has shown repeatedly over the course of his career that when he’s in the hunt, he’s extremely difficult to beat. Koepka has held 10 career 54-hole leads or co-leads, converting seven into victories and never finishing worse than third.
Koepka has played sparingly on the DP World Tour since joining LIV Golf, but a victory at Le Golf National would mark his first official win in Europe since the 2014 Turkish Airlines Open.
Through three rounds, Koepka has posted scores of 69-68-65. He will tee off Sunday paired with Lee and Migliozzi.
