The only major winner who had been there before was Phil Mickelson, who captured the fifth major of his career when he had a remarkable 66 in the final round of the British Open. That earned him the championship of...

A year ago, Rory McIlroy was wrapping up a tremendous victory in the 2012 PGA Championship at Kiawah Island in South Carolina. McIlroy shot a 13-under 275 and brought home $1.445 million in addition to the classic Wanamaker Trophy (which bares some resemblance to a miniature Stanley Cup).

Tiger Woods needed something of a miracle if he was going to claw his way back into the PGA Championship on moving day. He did not get that miracle. Instead, on a day when he needed to go low, he had two early bogeys on the front nine and closed the round with a disappointing 73. Tiger is four-over par heading into the final round of the season’s last major. Tiger is facing a fifth straight year...
