Brooks Koepka WITB What's In The Bag - The Golf Equipment Koepka Used to Win the 2019 PGA Championship

Brooks Koepka buried the field for the first three rounds at the PGA Championship, then hung on Sunday at Bethpage Black to earn his fourth career major championship victory.  Koepka became the first player in history to successfully defend both the PGA Championship and U.S. Open. 

 

Koepka set a record for the lowest 36-hole score in major history (128) over the first two rounds of play.  He also set the record for the largest 54-hole lead in PGA Championship history (seven strokes).  And in tough conditions Sunday, Koepka did just enough to hit some clutch fight off Dustin Johnson, and finish 8-under par for a two-stroke win. 

Koepka is known for his power off the tee, but it was his iron and short game play that shined brightest.  Koepka ranked 1st in SG: Tee To Green, 1st in SG: Approach, 1st in Proximity to Hole (25'5"), and 1st in Greens in Regulation (73.6-percent). 

 

Here are the clubs the 29-year old superstar used to become the fourth player (and fastest) in modern history to win four or more majors in a span of eight starts (joining Ben Hogan, Jack Nicklaus, and Tiger Woods).
