Brooks Koepka held off a late charge from Dustin Johnson to win the PGA Championship for the second straight year.

Koepka took a seven-stroke lead into the final round at Bethpage Black and held on after Johnson cut his deficit to one stroke.

Koepka finished with a 4-over 74 to win by 2 strokes and claim his fourth major title. He joins Tiger Woods as the only golfers to win the PGA in back-to-back years since the tournament went to stroke play in 1958. Koepka has also won back-to-back U.S. Opens.

Koepka made bogey on four straight holes on the back nine, and when Johnson birdied No. 15, he had closed the gap to one stroke. But Johnson had back-to-back bogeys to restore Koepka’s cushion.

Johnson shot 69. It’s the second straight major he’s finished as runner-up. Johnson, who was second to Woods at the Masters last month, has finished second in all four majors. Koepka replaces him as No. 1 in the world ranking.

My advice to Koepka - get rid of the tri-tone shirts. You're a great golfer, but your shirts blow. Solid colors, please. (No red on Sundays; its taken.).

I don’t think I’d characterize it as he held off a late challenge, he survived only because DJ blew it. DJ was within one stroke and put his transmission in reverse on 16 and 17. All DJ had to do was par in and he’s in a playoff.

Doesn't matter how you do it. DJ would say the same thing. BK built a big lead and lifted the trophy.

I instantly thought of Burger King.

Brooks Koepka was on Pardon My Take earlier this week, pretty cool guy. Had no idea he only picked up golf because he couldn't play contact sports when he was younger, due to an car accident.
