PGA Championship

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.

+1....This guy says at the presser after Friday's round that he didn't hit the ball that well after the first 2 rounds....Really? 63 and 65 at Bethpage Black and you didn't hit the ball that well? This is what I don't like about this guy.....He is obviously a machine in the last few years at Majors, but does anyone know how many tour events he has won outside of Majors in his career? I may be wrong, but I think it is only one....

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

So he sucks because he has only won four majors recently and never the Greater Greensboro Open. C'mon man.

Didn't say he sucks Frank, just that he is a huge asshole....I started this thread because of his talents and success in recent Majors....By the way, his PGA win was in 2015, Phoenix Open.....He is obviously in the heads of other players, all I'm saying is he could be a tad more humble.....

Janewattananond turned pro at 15 and is currently tied for second.

Any Jazz lovers out there?

I second the asshole assertion, snubbing the beautiful woman, Jena Sims, who's there supporting him was straight DICK move.

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!

I believe he actually said something like he didn't hit the ball as well on Friday as he did Thursday but he made some nice saves and putts and still scored well. So he was personally more pleased with his round Friday for the low score without his best stuff.

It reminded me of the post round interviews Tiger gave in his prime.

What's up with my namesake Jordan he's really fallen way down in the rankings.
