American golfer Brooks Koepka recently sealed his third triumph at the PGA Championship, his second major of the season, after four days of competition in Rochester, in the United States of America. The 33-year-old called it a day at Oak Hill Country Club by carding 67 strokes in the fourth and final round, finishing with nine under the course par and proving himself to be above the rest. Needless to say, he turned out to be quite focused and skilful throughout the event.
But none of this is unprecedented. Brooks Koepka, a Florida native, had already won the PGA Championship in 2018 and 2019, in addition to having won two US Open titles (2017 and 2018), to which he now adds a historic third title, equalling Gene Sarazen and Sam Snead with the hat-trick and coming behind only three men with the best record: Tiger Woods (he has four titles) and Walter Hagen and Jack Nicklaus (they achieved five each). The American golfer thus became the 20thplayer in history to win at least five majors.
