You never know what’s going to happen at a major championship.

The top golfers in the world are in Rochester, N.Y., this week for the final major of 2013, the PGA Championship. Oak Hill Country Club is no walk in the park, and it’s going to be extremely difficult for the field to stay under par throughout the week. We’re bound to see some good, bad and ugly performances.

Best Performance: Lee Westwood

He finished tied for eighth at the Masters, tied for 15th at the U.S. Open and tied for third at the Open Championship. The waiting is over, as he’ll have the best performance of the week at Oak Hill.



Westwood was cut from the PGA Championship a year ago at Kiawah Island and will be looking to make up for his poor two rounds. He can do so by relying on what he’s done all season long: signing low scorecards. Westwood has the 13th-best scoring average on the PGA Tour this season.
