Brooks Koepka After PGA Championship Win: 'That Was a Stressful Round of Golf'

Sunday was supposed to be a stress-free victory lap for Brooks Koepka as he parlayed a commanding seven-stroke lead through three rounds into his second straight PGA Championship title.

However, four straight bogeys on the back nine from the eventual victor and some timely shots from Dustin Johnson cut Koepka's lead to a single stroke. The four-time major winner eventually clinched the two-stroke win—thanks in no small part to bogeys on Nos. 16 and 17 from Johnson—but he admitted he was stressed.

"I'm just glad we didn't have to play any more holes," Koepka said, per Brian Pascus of CBS News.
