A capsule look at the three PGA Championships and one Ryder Cup held at Valhalla Country Club in Louisville, Kentucky, site of the 106th PGA Championship to be played May 16-19:
Winner: Mark Brooks.
Score: 277.
Runner-up: Kenny Perry.
Margin: Sudden-death playoff.
Earnings: $430,000.
Recap: Kentucky native Kenny Perry hit a big hook on the par-5 18th hole and made bogey for a 4-under 68 and the clubhouse house lead. He then watched from the CBS booth as Mark Brooks blasted out of a bunker to 4 feet for birdie and a 70 to force a playoff. Steve Elkington, trying to become the first back-to-back PGA champion in stroke play, missed a 10-foot birdie putt on the final hole to match them. In the playoff, Perry’s tee shot narrowly missed left and went into thick rough. Brooks reached the green and made birdie to win his only major.
Notable: Phil Mickelson had the 36-hole lead for the first time in a major. It would be eight more years until he won one.
