Sepp Straka comes into the PGA Championship as one of the game’s hottest players. And he holds that designation with a wrench in his situation.
The Austrian became the PGA Tour’s only multiple-time winner this season aside from Rory McIlroy with his win at the Truist Championship last week. Right before the Truist, Straka’s regular caddie, Duane Bock, hurt his back and was sidelined. So Drew Mathers looped for Straka as a last-minute fill-in. And Mathers, an aspiring pro who plays on mini-tours, collected $360,000.
