Brooks Koepka wins third career PGA Championship and becomes the first LIV golfer to win a major championship.
Brooks Koepka won the PGA Championship for the third time, clinching his fifth major title on Sunday 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.
Fast start After a frost-delayed opening round was followed by two days of rain and wind, the sun finally broke over Oak Hill, setting the stage for low scores after much of the field had struggled. Koepka, despite a slow start, had coped just fine in the miserable conditions. The American had roared back from a disappointing two-over 72 with back-to-back, round-best four-under 66’s to tee off for the final round with a one stroke lead over Canada’s Corey Conners and Hovland.
