Curious how much everybody made for their efforts in the year’s final men’s Major? Here’s the breakdown for the prizemoney every player who made the cut earned this week at Bellerive.
Brooks Koepka stared down his idol Adam Scott and ignored the noise of a Tiger Woods-generated Sunday roar to claim a pulsating 100th US PGA Championship at Bellerive Country Club in St Louis.
If the late Billy Casper is considered an adjunct member of The Big Three, the three-time major champion had an international counterpart in Peter Thomson
There’s no telling exactly how the cerebral Bryson DeChambeau is wound. And he doesn’t really want us to know. But there’s no doubt that his time is coming, and it will be worth watching.
Viewed by some as a better, simpler way to play and by others as a gimmick, DeChambeau’s Cobra utility irons, King Forged irons and King wedges all are 37.5 inches in length, about that of a 7-iron.
DeChambeau said this week at the Memorial Tournament was the best he had putted since his US Amateur victory in 2015. So it was fitting that when he needed to hole a 10-footer for birdie to earn his second career US PGA Tour title in a playoff, he poured it in, defeating South Korea’s Byeong Hun An on the second extra hole.
Jason Day has never had so much as one top-10 finish in the Memorial Tournament, not even when he was ranked No.1 in the world and despite the fact that he considers Muirfield Village Golf Club his home course.
Satoshi Kodaira seems to have taken the road less travelled to arrive at this place. But perhaps not. Winning breeds winning, no matter where it occurs.
Hoffman has had a penchant for making noise at Augusta on Thursdays and Fridays the past couple of years. Now he’ll have a moment to remember on Sunday at one of golf’s most famous one-shotters.
