There have been plenty of reasons to doubt Brooks Koepka in recent months and years. He has been injured, repeatedly. He left for LIV Golf and hasn’t played much outside of the new controversial circuit. He blew a shot at a green jacket last month, too.
On Sunday, Koepka put all of that to bed.
Koepka fended off Viktor Hovland and now top-ranked Scottie Scheffler at Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, New York, to win his third PGA Championship. It marked his fifth major title in seven years, which matched legends like Seve Ballesteros and Byron Nelson, and brought him a win from tying Phil Mickelson.
