A month ago Brooks Koepka choked on the final day of the Masters and vowed it would never happen again. On Sunday night, as the sun set on the US PGA Championship in Rochester, he delivered on his promise.He held his nerve, he holed his putts and across 67 strokes he bit down hard on Viktor Hovland and drained the resistance from a brave Norwegian who put up an excellent fight. With a two-shot win, one of the great golfers of this era ended a four-year wait for a fifth major title. Marvellous stuff.There will be some, many even, who choose to view that achievement through the prism of what it means for his tour, which happens to be LIV, if you hadn't heard. By extension, there will be debates about the sheer irresistibility of his claims to a place in the Ryder Cup and the political gymnastics brought on by those conversations.
