PGA Championship 2019: Brooks Koepka denies girlfriend twice, further proof he’s more machine than man at Bethpage

David Young (photo by David Young/Action Plus via Getty Images)FARMINGDALE, N.Y.—Brooks Koepka, the Terminator ostensibly sent from the future to destroy all competition in golf, explained his major methodology thusly:
“I think I'm more focused than anybody out there,” the cyborg Koepka said on Saturday at the PGA Championship. “I think I'm tunnel-visioned.”
In case his seven-shot advantage heading into the final round at Bethpage Black left any doubt, Koepka illustrated that strategy in front of the cameras Sunday afternoon. With TV crews following his walk onto the property, Koepka, for the world to see, denied girlfriend Jena Sims a kiss.
Twice.

Cold. Blooded.

PGA Championship 2019: Phil Mickelson inexplicably hits 3-wood from impossible lie, proves he knows what he’s doing

FARMINGDALE, N.Y. — It doesn't matter if he's shooting a 63 or a 76, Phil Mickelson always has a flair for the dramatic. Put him in front of a New York crowd and you can guarantee he'll go out of his way to produce as many theatrics as possible.

This was precisely the case late in his final round on Sunday at Bethpage Black, one Mickleson had already ejected from at four over through 15 holes. While he probably can't wait to finish this week off and get the hell off Long Island, he's not just gonna stop doing Phil things. At the par-4 16th, following a woeful drive that he blocked into some high rough between 15 and 16 fairways, Lefty went full Lefty, pulling out a 3-wood despite having what looked like an impossible lie. Knowing that this shot could end up anywhere, Mickelson could be heard saying “heads up” to the gallery, followed by “I don't know which way to move them [the fans], I don..

PGA Championship 2019: 9 reasons you should still come to Bethpage Black on Sunday—that don’t involve watching golf

FARMINGDALE, N.Y. — Early on Saturday afternoon, on the other side of Bethpage Black from where Brooks Koepka was continuing to bludgeon the field, a fan caught a glimpse of a leader board. “Brooks Koepka is FOURTEEN under?! The guy has no chill!” Usually, Koepka is criticized for being too chill. But now he was being knocked for having no chill? New York sports fans can be tough to please.

Koepka, wound up giving a couple of those strokes back during his third round, but he finished the day with a PGA Championship record seven-shot lead. No chill, indeed. And no mercy. More like Brooks ROMPka, am I right?
Anyway, unless Koepka has the biggest collapse in golf history, he'll be doing biceps curls with the Wanamaker Trophy again on Sunday night. But just because there probably won't be any drama over the final 18 holes, doesn't mean you should rip up your final-round tickets. Here are 9 reasons fans ..
