Tiger Woods, coming off a Masters victory that snapped an 11-year major win drought, begins his quest for a 16th major title Thursday at the 101st PGA Championship.
The 43-year-old American superstar’s electrifying triumph last month at Augusta National has made him the focus of attention at formidable Bethpage Black, the same course where Woods won the 2002 US Open.“This is going to be a long week the way the golf course is set up and potentially could play. This could be a hell of a championship.”
Koepka held off Woods to win last year’s PGA at Bellerive while Molinari denied Woods last year to win the Claret Jug at Carnoustie.“I feel lucky enough to have played with him many times now in many important moments.” “I need to give myself the best chance to win the events I play in... Sometimes that can be taking a little bit more breaks here and there, making sure I’m able to give it my best.”He would need top-ranked Dustin Johnson to finish worse than solo 11th and neither Koepka or world number two Justin Rose of England to finishing second alone.
