What an awesome week at Aronimink @PGAChampionship. Although it didn’t go exactly how I wanted, it sure was nice to post a number early yesterday to give myself a chance. Hats off to Aaron Rai with some insanely clutch shots down the stretch.

I was so impressed with the course - how it managed to test both our discipline and precision all week. It begged us to challenge pins and play aggressively, and we found out early we’d be punished if we didn’t execute. Which in my opinion, are just as major championships should be

[Chris Shepherd @ChrisShepherd]

Aaron Rai played an opposite field event then won the PGA Championship the following week.

Has that ever happened before? A player winning a major a week after playing an opposite field event?

@PGATOURComms @PGAChampionship

[Chris Shepherd @ChrisShepherd]

With the PGA Championship in the books, it’s time to look ahead to the next major to be played in Philadelphia:

The U.S. Open at Merion in 2030.

Merion gets the @usopengolf in 2030, 2040, 2050.

Let’s hope the area sees more professional golf in addition to those dates.

Leonie Harm birdied the last two holes to win her first LET title on home soil at the Amundi German Masters. Her story is nothing short of remarkable.

At age 15, Harm was out jogging before school when she was struck by a drunk driver traveling 45 mph. Doctors put her in a medically-induced coma. Her very presence is a miracle.

Several years later, Harm lost her mother to breast cancer. At the University of Houston, she studied biochemistry and biophysics hoping to one day work in cancer research.

During the Covid pandemic, the young pro used the break to work in vaccine research.

At the end of 2024, she nearly quit professional golf.

Now, she’s an LET champion.
