SHEBOYGAN, Wis. – Wisconsin’s Steve Stricker got a standing ovation coming off the 18th green Sunday at the PGA Championship.
He kissed his wife, Nicki, who caddied for him this week and then tipped his cap and waved to all those fans cheering for him at Whistling Straits.
“I took a moment there,” Stricker said. “I don’t get that too often. That was special for me.”
Stricker, 48, isn’t sure if it will be his last major championship appearance. He needed a top-15 finish to qualify for next year’s PGA Championship, but a 2-under-par 70 left him tied for 23rd as he left scoring.
