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.
Brooks Koepka won his second Major of the season and third of his career by combining the kind of solid ball striking with good in-close putting to win by two over Tiger Woods at Bellerive Country Club.
Scott is known for using his broomstick Scotty Cameron by Titleist centre-shafted Kombi Long mallet, but also has a conventional-length Scotty Cameron by Titleist 340, often referred to as a Newport 2 Timeless.
Adam Scott is a lot of things in this evening before the final round of the US PGA Championship. He is an underdog, he’s winless in two seasons, he’s an exemption, but he’s also on the rise.
For much of his third round on Saturday at Bellerive, Brooks Koepka appeared as though he would run away with the 100th PGA Championship. But after recovering from a late stumble he is in pole position to win his second Major of the year.
Woods has never won a Major coming from behind, and given his narrow four-stroke deficit heading into the final round of the PGA Championship at Bellerive, it’s worth looking at the times he’s at least come close.
These guys aren’t among the favourites this week at Bellerive Country Club, but under the right circumstances they could all find themselves in contention come Sunday.
