I can grind with the best of them, says McDowell

When Graeme McDowell arrived at Bethpage Black this week for the 101st PGA Championship, he wasn’t sure what to expect.

He had mostly fond memories of playing the course in the 2009 US Open, where despite a final-round 74 he finished T-18, but didn’t fare as well when The Barclays, a PGA Tour FedEx Cup playoff event, was held here in 2012 and 2016.
