Berger gives FSU two straight wins on PGA Tour

 Back to Back

When Daniel Berger sank a clutch 30-foot eagle putt on No. 18 at Pebble Beach on Sunday, not only did it give him his fourth win on the PGA Tour, but it gave Florida State's golf program a second straight victory as well.

The week before, in Phoenix, four-time major champion Brooks Koepka made a dramatic charge on the back-nine to get back in the winner's circle.

It marked the first time two former collegiate teammates had won back-to-back on the PGA Tour since ... Berger and Koepka in 2017. That year, it was Berger winning first, on June 11, and Koepka following by winning a little tournament called the U.S. Open.

Three-and-a-half years later, the duo pulled off the rare feat again.

Stanford has the most majors with just Tiger and Tom Watson (25 total). Then Ohio State is second because of Jack (20 total).

FSU is in the top 7 regardless of whether you count total majors (8) or number of different people who won majors (4). And we beat Florida (4, 3) in both categories.

Houston has the most number of different winners (7).
