All those injuries that made Brooks Koepka wonder if he was still among golf's elite were put to rest Sunday at Oak Hill when he beat the strongest field of the year and won the PGA Championship for his fifth major title.
Determined as ever to restore his reputation as the player to beat in the majors, Koepka ran off three quick birdies early, never lost the lead amid a gritty fight from Viktor Hovland and closed with a 3-under 67 for a two-shot victory.
In the Netflix series “Full Swing,” he was quoted as saying confidence had given way to doubt. “I'm going to be honest with you, I can't compete with these guys week in and week out." Corey Conners, of Listowel, Ontario, entered Sunday's action one shot behind the leader, but had a rough day and shot 5-over to finish in a tie for 12th place at even par.
A month ago at the Masters, Koepka lost a two-shot lead in the final round by playing tentatively and was overrun by Jon Rahm. He vowed he would not do that again, and Koepka delivered in a major way, just like he used to.
