1. PGA Championship is going to have a tough act to follow

While a Molinari win might be hard to list with with 1960 at Cherry Hills or the 1986 Masters, Carnoustie gave us a clash of golf’s micro-generations and intrigue each of the four days. The players were engaged in ways only a firm, fast and strategic test could muster. The course brought Jordan Spieth out of his slumber, Rory McIlroy out of his mechanical ways, Justin Rose out of his links troubles and Tiger Woods out of his major contention vacation. Will hot and humid Bellerive, where the greens are struggling, stand a chance of creating anything remotely as thrilling? Probably not.
