To be at the PGA Championship this week is to see a lot of famous Philadelphia athletes. Ryan Howard, Chase Utley and Cooper DeJean were all at Aronimink throughout the tournament, and thanks to T-Mobile, GOLF got a chance to chat with all of them.
Before Cooper DeJean joined Smylie Kaufman for a conversation in T-Mobile’s Club Magenta, I got a chance to ask the Eagles cornerback some questions for social media. Thanks so much to my Philadelphia-based colleagues, Alex Gelman and Darren Riehl, for help with the Philadelphia-centric questions.
