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 […]
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 – Dustin Johnson should be forgiven for allowing his recent performances to run together.

He picked up where he left off […]

ST. LOUIS – They say nothing bothers Dustin Johnson. Hard to argue that after watching him birdie the par-3 third hole Friday at the PGA Championship. Johnson, who began on the back nine at Bellerive, was in the process of hitting his tee shot on his 12th hole of the day when a ball flew […]
Scores were low early on Day 2 of the 100th PGA Championship, but no one got off to a hotter start than Kevin Kisner. Kisner, starting on the back nine, made six birdies over his first nine hole and turned in 6-under 29 [Bellerive plays as a 35-35, par 70]. Check out some of the […]
ST. LOUIS – Tiger Woods returned to Bellerive early Saturday to complete his weather-delayed second round and will begin the weekend six strokes off the PGA Championship lead.

ST. LOUIS – Here are some things I think I think after Tiger Woods shot a second-round 4-under 66 at the 100th PGA Championship at Bellerive Country Club: • Momentum is a strange bird. Tiger was 3 under after seven holes when the round was suspended on Friday and it felt like it was going […]
