What Happened in the 2019 PGA Championship
Brooks Koepka opened the 2019 PGA Championship with a 63 in the first round, tying the tournament's then-record for 18 holes. A 65 in the second round left him at 128, a new tournament record for 36 holes.In the third round, Koepka was even-par 70, good enough to take a 7-stroke lead. That was the largest 54-hole lead in PGA Championship history. It appeared all Koepka needed to do in the final round to win was show up.
It wound up being slightly more difficult than that: As Dustin Johnson made a move, Koepka stumbled, and his lead was down to a single stroke at one point on the back nine. Koepka made five bogeys on the back nine, including four in a row at one point.
But in blustery winds and tough scoring conditions, Johnson dropped some shots himself. Koepka wound up shooting 74 in the last round and his margin of victory over Johnson was two strokes. Jordan Spieth, missing only a PGA Championship win from earning the career grand slam, was among those tied for third place.
Koepka joined Tiger Woods (who missed the cut) as the only back-to-back winners in this major's stroke play era to this point. Koepka also, at PGA tournament time, was the holder of consecutive wins in the U.S. Open. He thus became the first golfer ever to hold back-to-back titles in two different majors simultaneously. And he was the first wire-to-wire winner (no ties) of the PGA Championship since Hal Sutton in 1983.
