2018 PGA Championship at Bellerive

[GrandStranded]

I think Tiger's pars were more impressive then his birdies. He made some great recoveries today. And yes, after today he has earned his spot on the Ryder Cup team.

Tough to be disappointed by a 64 on Sunday at a major championship.

17th hole Tiger’s downfall. Can’t play that hole Even Par on the weekend. Nevertheless great performance.

I'm sad this competition is moving to May. It has had a nice feel to it this year, a pleasing footnote for 2018's majors. It will feel strange with the final major of the year being the British.

I agree with this. I don’t like it either. I thought the schedule was perfect. I get why they’re doing it...just don’t agree with it.

I know, right? It'll be good for the PGA, but weird having the Major season end before mid July. What's the reasoning behind the move? Is it a last ditch effort to make the Players a fifth major?

66-66-64 is Tiger's best last 54 hole stretch in a major ever. By three shots. And he started this tournament with bogey and double bogey on hole one and two.

They won’t say it publicly but they want to end the Fed Ex Cup before football season because no one watches it.

They want to end the season in early september. Which means the playoffs need to take place in August. Among other reasons, none of which involve giving players majors status.

Tiger just shot a 64 in the final round of a major with his B game (A+ iron game and C- off the tee). Pretty damn impressive. 

It’s starting to look like Koepka might rack up a bunch of majors in a hurry. He’s DJ without the disappearing act DJ often pulls under pressure.

Tiger will get solo second if Scott doesn't make his par. Should be another good climb up the OWGR.

Yup should almost guarantee him a spot in the next few WGCs, next years US open which he lost his exemption on and prolly the Match Play.

Tiger was clearly dissapointed, I think he knows deep inside he is still the best out there he just needs to straighten the driver out some and there it is.I wonder where winds up in GWR after this despite not having 40 events credited.

Three majors and one PGA tour victory. Thats something. 

[ScouseJohnny]

Now that, I have to admire. Just tap in the winning putt with as much emotion a though he was putting for third in a midweek stableford.

Yeah but I feel like he didn’t really hit his stride until right around last years USO. Then he was in contention at last years British and has posted a lot of big finishes albeit missing some time with injury. I think he’ll be a guy who wins 5+ majors and 20+ tourneys by the end of his career if he can keep it at this level for the next 10 years.

I have about five "Tiger will get jealous" jokes, but I won't go there...
