RICH BEEM
Game 870 | September 26, 2016 | Rich Beem
Here to cover the Ryder Cup as the American voice of European television, Beem returned to the site of his most impressive career victory. Playing at Hazeltine in the 2002 PGA Championship, he shot an opening day 72, but followed with a six-under 66 in the second round to pull into a five-way tie for the lead. Another 72 in the third round left him alone in second place, three strokes behind leader Justin Leonard. In the fourth round Beem fended off Tiger Woods who birdied his last four holes, but finished one shot behind Beem who finished with a final round 68 to Woods '67.
(LtoR) Chris Wright, Rich Beem, Dave Mona; Patrick Hunt was the physician for the meeting.
