Exciting times with the rising stars in US golf all performing well. Morikawa, Wolff, Champ, Scheffler & Schauffele should feature heavily oer the coming years.

Interesting quote from Mcllroy after finishing in 33rd spot & 11 shots behind the winner. " Maybe I'm not as good as I used to be" Rory's last major win come at this event in 2014.

This years US PGA Championship at Kiawah Island starts on Thursday.
