After two-year absence, colorful Nicolas Colsaerts makes welcome return to U.S. soil at PGA Championship

SPRINGFIELD, N.J. — He’s baaaaacccck, and the golf scene here at the 98th PGA Championship is fresher, livelier, more enjoyable because of it.

Just don’t get too used to Nicolas Colsaerts because this is a sort of cameo appearance in the United States, his first since missing the cut at the 2014 U.S. Open. If you don’t remember how it unfolded, don’t worry, not many folks do. Colsaerts’ exit was that quiet, that discreet. With that major at Pinehurst No. 2, the personable Belgian folded the tent with his experiment of playing both the PGA Tour and European Tour.
