PGA Championship
Brooks Koepka is 12 under after two rounds at Bethpage Black for the PGA Championship....Are you kidding me?
|
He is like a machine, lord help the field if his putter stays hot.
|
Koepka is the Rodney Dangerfield of golf. No respect
|
Here is his resume in the last 8 Majors.....4 wins, and 1 runner up at this years Masters....If he wins this PGA, he would have won back to back U.S. Opens, and back to back PGA's....That's even beyond Tiger Woods in the day....Having said that, I'm not fond of his attitude and remarks to the media....He's a cocky MF.....
|
Woods is 17 shots back. Yikes. Oh now I see he didn't make the cut even.
|
Tiger played terrible today. I thought he looked wiped out, too. Now he has the weekend to rest up. I’m a big Tiger fan, but this was ugly.
|
Tiger didn't play a tournament between the Masters and the US Open. No wonder he doesn't look sharp.
|
PGA Championship
Brooks is an animal. If he takes the PGA Championship that translates to winning half of the majors from the last two years. Doesn’t get the respect he deserves.
|
Tiger is the Pujols of golf now. Still can hit a home run with an exemplary career record, but
Koepka is the Trout now in his prime with an outstanding future ahead of him. Edited for Sam.:D |

Did anyone else see Koepka's quote before this tournament about how easy majors are to win compared to regular tournaments? I think it makes his performance stand out even more. The other guys had to be gunning for him after he basically said at least half the field can't win and half of those who can will choke and won't be a factor.
|
The dude definitely has a 'tude. I have mixed feelings about it, I guess. On the one hand it's refreshing to see a trash talking golfer who can back it up, I mean hell it's just a sport why not everyone else is doing it. On the other hand, there is something appealing about golf being above all that.

What's golf?

He'll take a 7 shot lead into tomorrow's final round. The odds of anyone catching him must be pretty long.

All hail B.B. King since we've brought golf into a pre-war baseball thread...why not branch further out... (Kevin- you know I'm just messin' with ya, right?) |

It reminded me of the post round interviews Tiger gave in his prime. |
What's up with my namesake Jordan :D he's really fallen way down in the rankings.

I believe what Kevin means is that to win 2 Opens & 2 PGA's ( or ANY 2 Majors) back-to-back has NEVER been done before by ANYONE, including Tiger.
Koepka is beginning to look like a machine to me, altho his finish Sat looked more human. I'm like several of you--I can't believe his game, but his attitude is a bit haughty! |
Koepka is just playing in a different world from the rest of the field at this tournament. This is a tough course that can't really be appreciated on tv as to how big, deep, etc. the traps are and so on, yet he is taming it. Doenst look like he can be stopped now with one round to go.
I am really enjoying watching this though as I played this course a lot in the 1960's with my dad when we lived on Long Island. Five really nice courses at Bethpage, we played them all, and of course the Black was always a special treat to play. |

Just to keep in "legal", here are my Foxxes just back from PSA. |
Weak final round, ouch. Dropped 5 strokes but I guess when you're up 7 you can afford a bad round.
|
He needs to keep going. Right now he's a better Andy North. I hope he keeps winning.

I have a good friend that is very up on the PGA scene, he's actually friends with a few of them, and he has always said that Koepka is a complete dick....Having said that, a lot of these players are...Most of them are spoiled rotten as kids,and they start playing golf when their 4 years old. Koepka should relish these accomplishments and stop trying to play mind games with everybody....Odds are, he will ultimately take a hard fall. Be humble man and enjoy it while you have it!
