Brooks Koepka shot a final-round 66 at Bellerive Country Club to capture the PGA Championship – his second major title of the season.
Koepka finished at 16-under par, two shots clear of runner-up Tiger Woods, who posted a 64 on Sunday.
The Florida State product becomes just the fifth player to win the U.S. Open and PGA in the same season, joining Tiger Woods (2000), Jack Nicklaus (1982), Ben Hogan (1948), and Gene Sarazen (1922). With three major wins he joins Jordan Spieth and Rory McIlroy as the only players under 30 with at least three major victories.
