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 ..

Which he was, having buried the field through two days at the PGA Championship in record-setting fashion. While Koepka didn't throw the final dirt on the grave during the third round, he didn't re-open the casket either, maintaining a whopping seven-shot advantage heading into Sunday.
That type of lead is as close to a lock as one can get in professional golf; the engraver likely already inscribed Koepka's name back on the Wanamaker.

“Holy sh*#! Brooks is SEVEN up now?!” shouted one man double-fisting bottles of Brooks' favorite beer, Michelob Ultra. At least, the beer Brooks is paid to say is his favorite. The fan was right. However, Koepka was still an hour away from teeing off in his third round. His lead had been seven since Friday evening. At least he hadn't mistaken Matt F..
