Former PGA champ Rich Beem, now a broadcaster, surprises everyone with first-round 69

SPRINGFIELD, N.J. — So, if he were to “interview myself,” as Rich Beem suggested was a possibility, what are the odds he’d offer a “no comment.”

Zero.

“You know me,” Beem said, and indeed we do.

We know him as a true original, a golfer who never signed for a round that he wouldn’t talk about, be it good or bad. Unfortunately, a few seasons ago when the bad ones started outweighing the good by a significant margin, Beem chose to go in another direction with his career.

He joined Sky Sports, a UK-based sports network that is quite invested in both the PGA Tour and European Tour.
