PGA Championship crowd mobs Rich Beem after chip-in

Rich Beem chips in from the gallery, which explodes in joy for the 2002 PGA champ.

Rich Beem, in the field for a major on the weekend for the first time since 2012, is making the most of his playing time at Baltusrol and his loyal followers appreciate it.

Beem, the 2002 PGA champion, is clearly a fan fave at this year’s edition, and he reveled in the frenzy that broke out after he holed a birdie from the sidelines on the par-4 fifth of his final round.

Not bad for a guy who almost had to pay for the sticks he has in his bag this week during a rare break from his work as a Sky Sports analyst.

The last time Beemer made the cut in a major, he finished T36 at the 2012 PGA Championship. The hole-out got him to 3-over for the tourney, where he remained through 10 holes.
