☆ Brooks Koepka wins third PGA Championship to seal fifth major title
  + stars: | 2023-05-21 | by ( Jack Bantock | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +1 min
CNN —Brooks Koepka won the PGA Championship for the third time on Sunday, clinching his fifth major title at Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, New York. A commanding final round showing saw the American finish on nine-under par, two shots ahead of compatriot Scottie Scheffler and Norway’s Viktor Hovland, who played his part in a pulsating final day duel. The 33-year-old’s triumph sees him become the first golfer to win a major while playing on the LIV Golf Series. Australia’s Cameron Smith joined the Saudi-backed breakaway tour a month after his victory at The Open Championship in July 2022. In doing so, he joins Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus as only the third player to win the PGA Championship three or more times in the strokeplay era.

ROCHESTER, New York, May 20 (Reuters) - Golfers were preparing for a long, wet slog as third-round play got underway at the PGA Championships on Saturday and torrential rains rolled across Oak Hill Country Club. But there could also be a few fireworks among the dark clouds with LIV Golf standard bearers Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau, once famously embroiled in one of golf's most lively spats, paired together. Right behind Hovland and Suh are Koepka and DeChambeau. Once bitter foes the pair are now LIV Golf team mates united in the Saudi-bankrolled venture's feud with the PGA Tour, which they left to sign on with the big money rebel circuit.

☆ PGA Championship: Jon Rahm takes out frustrations on camera and microphone as struggles continue in third round
  + stars: | 2023-05-20 | by ( Jack Bantock | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +3 min
CNN —Enjoying a season of unparalleled success, the sun has shone on Jon Rahm almost permanently in 2023. Another bogey at the second hole extended the 28-year-old’s nightmare start. It was a camera operator’s turn to take the brunt of the golfer’s frustrations at the eighth hole. “Stop aiming at my face when I’m mad, it’s all you guys do,” Rahm could be heard saying on broadcast. It marked the start of a run of three straight bogeys, but as the weather began to improve, so did Rahm.

And when he walked off the course on Friday, his tournament score at one under par, he was positioned to contend at the P.G.A. He had figured, he said, that four under could win the tournament at an Oak Hill Country Club where the fairways seem to be awfully hard to find. “There are chances,” said Rose, the 2013 U.S. Open winner who only in February ended a four-year drought of PGA Tour victories. By nightfall, only nine men in the 156-player field were under par; the 2008 P.G.A. Championship was the last with fewer than 10 players below par after two rounds.

[1/3] May 19, 2023; Rochester, New York, USA; Michael Block hits a tee shot on the 18th hole during the second round of the PGA Championship golf tournament. After making his first major cut, the head professional at Arroyo Trabuco Golf Club in Mission Viejo, California was asked what golf fans, most of whom had never heard of him before this week, should know about him. "I knew if I looked at that, I might get ahead of myself, and I didn't want to do that," said Block. I've made the cut, which is obviously, like I told you, a huge goal," said Block. With plenty of confidence going into the weekend, Block was not shy when asked what the ultimate "why not?"
☆ PGA star Justin Thomas is selling his 'starter' mansion and it's the ultimate bachelor pad

Justin Thomas and Tiger Woods are so close that Tiger considers JT part of his family. Thomas is selling his 'starter' house in Jupiter, Florida, the home of many top golfers, including Tiger. The $3.5 million house has everything a wealthy young bachelor would want in a house. The property, dubbed Thomas' "starter house" by Golf Digest, is on the market for $3.5 million just months after he got married, and is being listed by former golfer Johnny DelPrete of Douglas Elliman Realty. So it's no surprise that the house for sale is just three miles from Tiger's home on Jupiter Island.

Conners had started the day level with Scheffler one back of pacesetting Bryson DeChambeau and finished it in the same position also signing for a 68. World number 11 Hovland began his round with back-to-back birdies and then drained a five-foot birdie putt at the 18th to join Conners and Scheffler on five-under 135. "The tournament is halfway done," said Scheffler, who can reclaim the number ranking with a win on Sunday.

Unfortunately for the South Korean, a viral video clip of him crawling through the mud will make it difficult to forget. Sky Sports commentators laughed heartily at his expense and when he was told he had gone viral, Kim sank to his knees and hid his face with his cap but he laughed it off. It could be the difference of me having a chance to win on Sunday or making the cut," Kim told ESPN. "I was told it was in the mud and if I'm able to hit a shot, I'm doing everything I can to do it. Every single shot matters so much to me."

The American is a PGA Championship title away from becoming only the sixth men’s golfer to win all four majors in the modern era.

While Scheffler, Masters champion in 2022, failed to make the cut last year in Tulsa, he has been a contender at the other two PGA Championships he has contested. "I came into today's round just trying to play solid golf," said Scheffler. "No matter what position I'm in going into tomorrow, I would be grinding it out.

Keegan Bradley, who won the 2011 PGA Championship, was two shots off the pace with Norway's Viktor Hovland and New Zealand's Ryan Fox. DeChambeau, who missed last year's PGA Championship as he was recovering from surgery on his left hand, started on the back nine and reached the turn at one under. "It was a grind today," said 2022 Masters winner Scheffler. It marked the first time the top player in the rankings had carded a six over or higher at the PGA Championship since Greg Norman in 1987. It marks Mickelson's return to the PGA Championship for the first time since 2021 when, aged 50, he defied the odds to become the oldest major winner in history.

He is not exactly the betting favorite, not in a field largely headlined by men in their 20s and 30s. He knows he may not even make the cut and finish the tournament, where a victory would make Alker, 51, the oldest major champion in history. But Alker has been defying the clock that has often been the etiology of agony for professional athletes.
☆ Mickelson Among Players Interviewed in Antitrust Inquiry Into Pro Golf

PITTSFORD, N.Y. — The Justice Department’s antitrust inquiry into men’s professional golf has included interviews with players, including the major tournament winners Phil Mickelson, Bryson DeChambeau and Sergio García, as the authorities examine whether the PGA Tour sought to manipulate the sport’s labor market. Although lawyers for the PGA Tour met with Justice Department officials in Washington this week, a timeline for the review’s completion — much less whether the government will try to force any changes in golf — is not clear. But the inquiry’s scope and persistence has deepened the turbulence in the sport, which has been grappling with the recent rise of LIV Golf, a league that used money from Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund to lure top players away from the PGA Tour. Eight people with knowledge of the Justice Department’s inquiry described its breadth on the condition of anonymity because the investigation was pending. The department declined to comment.

ROCHESTER, New York, May 17 (Reuters) - Brooks Koepka returns to the major stage for this week's PGA Championship hoping the lessons he learned after squandering a final-round lead at last month's Masters will serve him well at Oak Hill Country Club. When asked to share what he learned from his latest Masters appearance Koepka said he preferred to keep it to himself. Starting with his 2017 U.S. Open win at Erin Hills, Koepka has finished either first or second in eight of the last 21 majors in which he has competed. Prior to the 2019 PGA Championship Koepka said the majors are sometimes the easiest to win and shared his own algorithm that essentially reduced the field to about 12 players he needed to beat. Oak Hill has undergone an extensive restoration since it last hosted a PGA Championship in 2013 and its narrow fairways, deep rough and steep-faced bunkers will provide a stern test.

Despite his membership at Oak Hill, McIlroy has been reluctant to declare some sort of home-course advantage since he, after all, lives in Florida.
