Scheffler will no doubt be wondering what could have been had he not shot a 3-over 73 on Saturday. Hovland finished in a tie for second place with Scottie Scheffler, whose 5-under helped him to a 7-under for the tournament. Koepka entered Sunday with a one-stroke lead over Hovland and Conners after he birdied three of the final seven holes of the third round Saturday - a day that challenged players with persistent rain and soggy conditions. Hovland ended up with a double bogey, removing any drama from this year's second major tournament.
While it was Corey Conners on Saturday, on Sunday's final round it was Hovland, who was just one stroke back of Koepka when his shot disappeared into the sod. 15, when - for the second consecutive day - a player in contention blasted a shot from a fairway bunker into the grassy lip above the sand trap, forcing a drop. Koepka, who shot 3-under par Sunday to fend off a challenge from Viktor Hovland, became the first LIV Golf player to win a major title since defecting to the Saudi-backed tour. For the fifth time in his career - and third time at the PGA Championship - Brooks Koepka has won a major championship.
