Nantz says Koepka having best run since Tiger in 2000-01

Jim Nantz is picking Brooks Koepka to win the PGA Championship – even if he believes not many others will.

The CBS announcer fielded questions on a conference call on Wednesday afternoon, just more than a week before the year’s second major, at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, N.Y. Nantz was asked about players such as Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Rory McIlroy.

He brought up Koepka on his own, and then went on a rant.

“Poor Brooks Koepka,” Nantz said (per Golf.com) of Koepka, the defending champion and winner of three of the past eight majors.
