Make that two-straight PGA Chamionship victories for Brooks Koepka.
Thanks to a stellar performance at the Bethpage Black Course in Farmingdale, N.Y. this weekend, Koepka became the 101st person to win the PGA Championship. He is now the first golfer ever to win back-to-back titles in the PGA Championship and U.S. Open.
The Florida native won it all Sunday afternoon by sinking this shot on the final hole:

Despite entering Round 3 with a healthy lead, Koepka struggled as the course played very tough during the final round. He was briefly challenged by Dustin Johnson, who gave the 29-year-old a run for his money Sunday afternoon, but the last-minute comeback wasn’t enough to lift him over Koepka, who ended the tournament at 8-under par.
