ST. LOUIS – Jordan Spieth says his main issue with Bellerive is that it just isn’t hard enough. The three-time major champion battled back from an opening 71 with a bogey-free 66 to move to 3 under par for the week, seven shots off the lead held by Gary Woodland midway through the second round. Addressing reporters […]
ST. LOUIS – Dustin Johnson should be forgiven for allowing his recent performances to run together. Following a pedestrian start at last week’s WGC-Bridgestone Invitational (69-71), DJ played his last 36 holes in 10 under par to tie for third place, a finish that included a closing 64. He picked up where he left off […]
ST. LOUIS – Kevin Kisner is naturally aggressive, so when he arrived at the 72nd hole at last year’s PGA Championship two strokes off the lead he never considered playing the percentages. Kisner took dead aim at the flag from 209 yards, slightly pulled his approach shot and found the creek that meanders down the […]
ST. LOUIS – Brooks Koepka has been on an impressive major championship run the last 14 months having won back-to-back U.S. Opens and posting top-15 finishes at the 2016 Open Championship and PGA Championship. On Friday at Bellerive he had a chance to add to that legacy. Koepka’s 20-footer on the ninth hole, his 18th […]
After shooting a disappointing 4-over 74 in the first round of the 100th PGA Championship – alongside U.S. Ryder Cup captain Jim Furyk, to boot – Tony Finau needed a hot start in Round 2. He got that and more. Finau birdied his first five holes to storm inside the cut line [hovering at even par] and […]
ST. LOUIS – There’s only two places you’ll find the name Zachary J. Johnson – on the man’s birth certificate and on the leaderboard at the PGA Championship. The problem for the 35-year-old PGA professional from Utah is that there’s another Zach Johnson in the field this week, and he just so happens to be […]
ST. LOUIS – Jon Rahm was 3 under on his round through 16 holes Friday when he tried to cut too much of the corner at the par-5 eighth and hooked his ball into the left rough. Walking up to where he assumed the ball would be, he didn’t see any flag in the rough indiciating […]
ST. LOUIS – The Border War ended in 2012 when the University of Missouri bolted the Big 12 Conference for the greener pastures of the Southeastern Conference, but that doesn’t mean that the lingering rivalry with Kansas has been forgotten or forgiven. “I’m getting more ‘M-I-Z’s’ than I am ‘Rock Chalks,’ which is very rare. […]
ST. LOUIS – Hours before he tied a PGA Championship record with a second-round 63, Brooks Koepka was clearly still miffed at what had transpired the previous day. Swaggering around his rental house on Friday morning, Koepka told his team: “I bet they’re going to interview me this afternoon after I go out and shoot […]
