He accused Brooks Koepka of engaging in “reckless self-sabotage.” He questioned the then-three-time major winner’s toughness.
But on Sunday night’s edition of “Live From the PGA Championship,” Golf Channel analyst Brandel Chamblee could only tip his cap.

Koepka won his fourth major and second PGA Championship on Sunday, using a seven-shot overnight advantage to eke out a two-stroke victory.
In doing so, he supplanted Dustin Johnson as world No. 1 and joined Walter Hagen, Bobby Jones and Tiger Woods as the only players to successfully defend two different major titles.
