Brooks Koepka captured his fourth major in two years with a victory at the 2019 PGA Championship on a tough day at Bethpage.
Too bad for Brooks that no one like a younger Tiger was pushing him the 1st three days. He may have began Sunday with an even bigger lead than he did. Brooks does well under pressure.
Brooks first three days gave him the points edge for Sunday’s adverse conditions (winds) everyone had to deal with. I remember one final drive to one of the greens, with 12-14 mile winds from where Brooks stood, with 20mph gusts, was met at the vicinity of the green with almost no wind there, which let the ball sail way past the intended mark and Brooks looking like “what in the hell just happened??”. That was the opposite of what Brooks and others often saw yesterday, with their drives falling well short of the mark with winds that literally batted them down.
He has set some records and I expect he will set many more.
