Bethpage Black was big and beautiful as it hosted its third Major Tournament. Defending champion Brooks Koepka won the championship after leading the tournament by 7 strokes going into the final round after shooting 63-65-70. Tiger Woods won at Bethpage in the 2002 U.S. Open and Lucas Glover won the 2009 edition.

Keopka, now a 4-time Major Champion in 22 starts made it look hard and bogeyed his way on five of the last eight holes to the Wanamaker Trophy. Dustin Johnson, who was one of four players tied for second going into the final round got it as close as one stroke with three to play. DJ finished bogey-bogey-par to a solo second place finish, two strokes behind Koepka. Rob Labritz won a crystal bowl as the leading PGA club professional and finished T60.

Amazed at the incredible beauty of this golf course as I walked around the first nine today! Thinking Tiger will win back-to-back Majors…   (Andy Reistetter; Facebook Post with 30 Pics; Tuesday, 5-14-19).

Well it is PGA Championship time! Go Tiger! Golf course is fantastic even with all this rain! Here are pics from my walk around the second nine! Look whose golf ball I found? I think that it must have rolled out of his golf cart! Enjoy the 2019 PGA Championship any way you can!   (Andy Reistetter; Facebook Post with 30 Pics; Wednesday, 5-15-19).
