Brooks Koepka now has five major championships with his two-shot win at the PGA Championship. That's one major for LIV Golf. No one is keeping score that way, least of all Koepka. He says it should boost the Saudi-funded rival league. Certainly it should put to rest the notion that playing for guaranteed riches has taken off the edge to compete. That was never the case with Koepka. He only wanted to be healthy. He was every bit of that at Oak Hill. Koepka becomes the 20th play in golf history to win at least five majors.
Brooks Koepka is a major champion again. Gone are those injuries that led to doubt whether he was still part of golf's elite. Koepka won the PGA Championship at Oak Hill by closing with a 67 and winning by two shots over Scottie Scheffler and Viktor Hovland. He now has won the PGA Championship three times. And it was his fifth major title. Only 14 players have won more. It was the first major by a LIV Golf player since the Saudi-funded league began nearly a year ago. California club pro Michael Block made an ace and tied for 15th.

The PGA Championship was plenty tough at rainy Oak Hill and so was Brooks Koepka. He shot 66 and takes a one-shot lead over Viktor Hovland and Corey Conners going into the final round.

The Canadian lost the lead when his bunker shot on the 16th plugged into the lip and led to double bogey.Â
Scottie Scheffler is part of a three-way tie for the lead going into the weekend at the PGA Championship. Oak Hill over two days has provided a little of everything — freezing temperatures, warm wind and rain. It also has unlimited possibilities on the weekend. Nine players are under par. Eighteen players are separated by five shots. Bryson DeChambeau is two back. Brooks Koepka ran off birdies on rain-softened greens for a 66 to get within three. Rory McIlroy was stunned to be only five behind the way he's hitting the ball. Rain is in the forecast for Saturday.
Bryson DeChambeau is the leading the frost-delayed PGA Championship. It's been more than a year since DeChambeau was the incredible bulk who tried to overpower golf courses. Now he's slimmer and feels healthy. That much is evident with his 66 at Oak Hill. That gives DeChambeau a one-shot lead over Scottie Scheffler, Dustin Johnson and Corey Conners among those who finished. Thirty players have to finish the round Friday. Eric Cole is at 5 under and has four holes to complete. Johnson was tied for the lead until making his only bogey on the final hole.

The first round is unlikely to finish on Thursday because of a two-hour delay for frost in the morning. DeChambeau warmed up nicely. He hasn't won in more than two years. He still swings hard, but he's keeping it in play.

Jason Day's golf game is back on an upswing entering the PGA Championship fresh off winning the Byron Nelson last week. The victory was Day's first in five years and provides the latest hint in how the 35-year-old Australian has finally begun shedding back issues and concerns his career might be over.

He's climbed back to No. 20 and enjoyed seven top-10 finishes in his past 16 tournaments.

Dustin Johnson and Koepka are unlikely to earn one of the six automatic spots. Captain Zach says he know enough about LIV Golf and the courses they play to judge how well they are doing. Johnson and Koepka say they'd love to be part of the team.

Club pro Braden Shattuck's long road back from a devastating car accident will end at the PGA Championship. Shattuck herniated several disks in his lower back in 2019 when getting hit while crossing an intersection in Florida.

Shattuck, who is from the Philadelphia suburbs, says he believes he can make the cut but is focusing on trying to enjoy the experience after his playing career nearly ended.
