What the challengers in the field say about the potential of bringing Brooks Koepka back down to earth in what would be a historic win at the PGA Championship.

Dustin Johnson – I’m going to need some help from him, and then I’m going to have to play very, very well. It can happen.
Matt Wallace – He’s a good golfer, isn’t he? That’s pretty much plain and simple. When you get the ball under control like he does and he’s putting great and chipping and putting and everything’s perfect, that kind of happens. Tiger did it. I remember (Colin Montgomerie) saying, nobody was ever going to catch Tiger at that Masters that he won (his first, by 12 strokes). And this is pretty much the same. Who knows? I’ll try to finish highest of the bunch that I’m around and see where that puts me.

Luke List – Some majors in history show some big leads guys come back from. Hopefully, this is one of them.
Harold Varner III – You can’t sit there and just weep and be like, `Oh, he’s so much better.’ I think that’s going to push you. It almost ticks me off, that’s what I think. I haven’t really watched him play a lot. I mean, he must be doing something good. Y’all keep asking me about him. My goal is to hit the fairway on No. 1 and start from there. Pretty simple. You know, life’s hard, this is easy.
Xander Schauffele – He’s taking the tournament by the neck. I don’t see him giving (it) up . . . He’s just doing his thing, and everyone else is chasing.
And what did Koepka say? ‘It’s just another day of work for me.’
