Less than 24 hours after Brooks Koepka lorded his four Major titles over the rest of the leaderboard at the 2020 PGA Championship – in particular, over Dustin Johnson – a fellow four-time Major champ, Rory McIlroy, came to DJ’s defence.
As if the leaderboard through 36 holes wasn’t good enough, Dustin Johnson decided he wanted to take control of the tournament, setting up what could be DJ vs Brooks Koepka duel.
The golf gods were extremely kind to Thomas, who took advantage and claimed his 13th career PGA Tour victory in Memphis, making a bit of history in the process.
The Guardian states Koepka, Phil Mickelson, Adam Scott, Henrik Stenson, Justin Rose, Rickie Fowler and Paul Casey are some of the players who have been linked to the PGL.
It is not a query that begets a singular, clear-cut answer. However, after speaking with tour and tournament officials, players, caddies and an epidemiologist, the response also is not as ambiguous as it may seem.
Because of the 13 cancelled events, plenty of big-name golfers who thought they had time to play their way into the top 125 are now sitting on the bubble.
Brooks Koepka has already made his feelings known about the idea of September’s Ryder Cup being held without fans. He doesn’t like it. Thursday, he took things a step further.
