One of the first things people look for early during the final round of a major championship is whether or not the course is yielding birdies.

All it takes is one look at Brooks Koepka's final round scorecard to see that Oakmont is there for the taking on Sunday at the U.S. Open.

The talented American bogeyed two of his first three holes Sunday, but rebounded with four straight birdies. He then added a birdie on the ninth hole and holed out for eagle on the par-4 10th hole to get to 1-over for the tournament and into the top 10.

Koepka came into the U.S. Open with runner-up finishes in his last two starts, making him a popular pick entering the week. Though he struggled early in the tournament, it appears he's on a mission during Round 4.
