Koepka avoids collapse to win PGA for fourth major title

Brooks Koepka held off a late charge from Dustin Johnson to capture his second consecutive PGA Championship on Sunday, completing a wire-to-wire victory for his fourth major title in nerve-wracking fashion.

A near-collapse saw Koepka's record seven-stroke lead reduced to a single shot, but he withstood making four bogeys in a row on the back nine and another at 17 for an unexpectedly narrow triumph.

"This is probably the most satisfied I've been with all the majors," said Koepka.

"This one's definitely at the top of the list of how emotionally and how mentally spent I am."
"DJ played a hell of a round to come back and to grind it out," Koepka said. "He did a great job putting pressure on me, making me play some solid golf down the stretch."
"This is unbelievable," Koepka said. "I don't know if I even dreamed this. It's amazing."
