Brooks Koepka wins PGA Championship for second major title of 2018

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Brooks Koepka is impossible to overlook now, winning the PGA Championship on Sunday with machine-like precision to go along with his back-to-back U.S. Open titles. And it still felt like he was the second billing to Tiger Woods. With roars for Woods unheard anywhere this side of Augusta National, Koepka kept his cool and ran off two birdies on the back nine at Bellerive right after Woods closed within one shot. Koepka closed with a 4-under 66 for a two-shot victory, making him only the fifth player to win the U.S. Open and PGA Championship in the same year. Even with two bogeys, Woods shot 64 for his lowest final round in a major. It was his seventh runner-up finish. “I played hard,” Woods said. “I made a bit of a run. It looks like I’m going to come up a little short.” Koepka was responsible for that. After wasting one chance to put it away, Koepka kept attacking flags and ran in birdie putts of 10 feet on No. 15 and 7 feet on No. 16 to end the drama. He tapped in for par on the final hole to set the PGA Championship scoring record at 264. It also tied the major championship record that Henrik Stenson set at Royal Troon two years ago in The Open Championship. Adam Scott hung around by making big putts, just like he hoped, and was tied for the lead until Koepka’s birdies. They both missed 6-foot birdies on the 17th, and Scott had to settle for third when he bogeyed the final hole for a 67. The St. Louis fans waited 17 years to see Woods, and he delivered a performance that took golf back in time. Without hitting a fairway on the front nine, Woods cut the four-shot deficit to two. Dialed in on the back nine, he hit his approach to a foot on the 15th hole to get within one shot. Koepka heard it all and answered with great shots of his own, finally converting the birdies to pull away.

Jordan Spieth Slam chances dwindle at PGA ChampionshipJordan Spieth Slam chances dwindle at PGA Championship

KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. – Jordan Spieth, who was going for the career Grand Slam at the 103th PGA Championship at Kiawah, shot a third-round 68 to get to even par for the tournament. He rued several missed chances and will likely be too far back to contend for the victory, which would have given him all four men’s major titles – a distinction held by only Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Ben Hogan and Gene Sarazen. RELATED: Full leaderboard | Nine Things to Know: Kiawah Island “You know, I chipped in and made a long par putt on 15, so I can’t really say that it should have been a lot lower,” Spieth said after hitting just nine greens but getting up and down for par eight times. “But this is a round where I’m walking up the 18th going, man, this could have been special today. I had four or five really with no pace on it lip out today. Obviously had a couple go in. “But it felt like one of those really good 6-, 7-under rounds that ended up being 4,” he added. Spieth’s victory at the Valero Texas Open in early April, his first win since 2017, capped off this year’s best comeback story. He was coming off a T9 at the AT&T Byron Nelson last week. Although expectations were high for Kiawah – he came in ranked 26th in the world, eighth in the FedExCup – the 2015 Player of the Year got behind early with rounds of 73-75 and barely made the cut. He failed to birdie either of the front-nine par 5s Saturday, but made over 100 feet of putts. His only bogey came at the notorious par-3 17th hole, where he missed left of the left bunkers and couldn’t get up and down. At even par for the tournament, he was five behind 54-hole leaders Phil Mickelson and Louis Oosthuizen and assuming he would be as many as seven behind by the end of the day. “Very pleased with climbing back to even,” he said. “I hate being over par at a golf course. I mean, it’s like my biggest pet peeve regardless of when it is in the tournament, and I just hate seeing an over-par score next to my name. So it’s nice to be tied with the course with a chance to beat it tomorrow.” As for beating all the other players, he sounded resigned to having to wait another year. “Yeah, if I were at 4-under and the lead was only 7, then things could be different,” he said. “But I’m not.”
