“Out of all the majors the US PGA is usually the fairest because the weather doesn’t usually play a massive factor”, he said.

He overlooked the obvious. Let’s be honest though, Dustin is first in FedEx cup standings and he has 7 consecutive top 10 finishes.
If McIlroy does not lift the enormous Wanamaker Trophy again on Sunday it will mean going two full years without a major title, the world number four having won the Open and US PGA in 2014, with a first World Golf Championship title sandwiched in between for good measure.
The defending champion of the PGA Championship is world No. 1 Jason Day of Australia and he’s +900 in golf betting this week along with Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy.
Jason Day (9-1): The defending PGA Champion set the course on fire previous year with a record breaking 20-under par victory at Whistling Straights.
Coming into this week, the 27-year-old feels good about his game, which seems to be an improvement over his last start at the Open Championship. Spieth has two wins on Tour this season and did finish third at Firestone less than four weeks ago, another course in which A.W. Tillinghast played a part in the design. Spieth, who turns 23 on Wednesday, had contended in five straight majors.
“What I want to do is just play to that level that I played at the British Open”.
“That was an important one because I always felt like once I won one major I was going to win multiple times”. “[But] I have it [the Claret Jug] for a year, so there might be a few more sips”. 2016 has been a big year for Finau as he tasted victory for the first time on the PGA Tour at the Puerto Rico Open in March.
“Recently, I’ve quickened my step and gotten back to the gunslinger way I grew up playing which I just step up and hit it”, Spieth told reporters on Tuesday. Now all he has to do is go out and play like the same guy who just shot 20-under. He is among the top power players in the game, and his driving is aesthetically attractive because of his balance.
That’s another way of saying he has been spinning his wheels.
“I feel there’s been times where I got a little bit of momentum, and then sort of got set back a little bit”, said McIlroy when asked to describe his year. “It’s been a little stop-start in a way”.
“I’m trying to stay as positive as I can”.
“It was a lot of fun past year and I thought it as a once in a lifetime chance, so I really enjoyed myself, ” Hurley said. He thought he would never see the day.
“I guess we’ve got to make the best [we] can and you live and you learn”, Stenson said.
Adam Scott believes releasing mental shackles from his game can boost his chances at this week’s PGA Championship.
“It’ll be in here next year”, retorts the Offalyman, adding to the banter about who has to give and who will have the hand out for the greenbacks from their friendly nine holes – in unison with US Open champion Dustin Johnson – that had finished on the 18th and was briefly prolonged for them to walk to the first tee to hit one drive, in the PGA’s Long Drive competition. Monday’s heavy rain and a steamy forecast will keep the fairways soft.
McIlroy had set a daunting target of 345 yards early in the morning and looked set to win the gold money clip and a $25,000 donation to a charity of his choice, only for An to beat him by two yards. That was a big deal. Watson said. “So I’m spending the most money in there.”.
The PGA Championship has the strongest field of all the majors, and it really stands out in an Olympic year.
