We look ahead to the year’s second major.
Gavin Cooney THE USPGA CHAMPIONSHIP might well becoming the George Harrison of the four major championships: traditionally under-heralded and over-shadowed, but to which more and more people are turning and saying, You know what? In many ways, that is the best of them.
Phil is also aggrieved that his LIV buddies Cameron Tringale, Sebastian Munoz and Jason Kokrak are not playing at Oak Hill this week, making the point in a now-deleted tweet replete with fresh collusion claims. So at this point, enter Rory McIlroy. His wife is from Rochester and he is a member at Oak Hill, which he has described as “a second home.” Then again, home advantage didn’t count for much when it came to the 2019 Open in Portrush.
“Like if I don’t win another tournament for the rest of my career, I still see my career as a success. I still stand up here as a successful person in my eyes. That’s what defines that.”Rahm is the favourite to win this week and join McIlroy in needing one more major to complete the Grand Slam. He followed Augusta by finishing in the top 15 at Hilton Head, and then finished second to Tony Finau and ahead of a shallow field at the Mexico Open.
Also in the field this week is Padraig Harrington, exempt as a past champion. Harrington’s chase of Steve Striker on the Champions Tour last weekend curdled on the final day, losing six shots on the leader across a mixed round.
