2018 PGA Championship (Master Thread)

[Naptime]

BK just pressed the Wanamaker. Like a linebacker.

 

He's gonna go rep out some one-armed lateral raises with it after this interview.

 

Like the Chris Pratt beer commercial :taunt:

[bucky316]

Koepka's victory speech....

[straightshot7]

Why do y’all care about tigers philandering and bad tipping habits? Do any of y’all know him? Or related to him?

 

I just don't root for jerks. Sorry if that bothers you. You do you, I'll do me.

 

So you won’t root for jerks, but will judge someone without ever meeting them? Fair enough

 

You're right, I'm sure he had good reasons for doing those things.

 

So you've never made a mistake in your life? Why judge a man for only the things he's done wrong...have you ever done anything like this:

 

"In over the 20 years that this foundation has been opened they have served more than 175,000 students, as well as employing 1,000 educators each year. The foundation has been so successful due to its goal of “developing self-advocacy skills in young people,” that their students have a 98.7% college graduation rate, which is one of the highest graduation rates of a scholarship program in the country.

One of the greatest things about this foundation is that Tiger Woods created this program because he saw a hole in the society that he wanted to fill. He created this foundation because “I wanted a permanent, safe space for kids to explore their dreams” -Tiger Woods. He founded this program to help impoverished children and young adults, and in the past 22 years of it being opened, he has exceeded all expectations of this foundation."

Great win for Koepka, but the big story is undoubtedly Tiger's 64 on a day when the driver misbehaved. Nobody else since Seve could have shot that score from those positions off the tee.

Hopefully Koepka keeps it going and we see a genuine rivalry between two players who thrive on the big occasion.

[SwooshLT]

He gave props to Master Teaching Pro Warren Bottke! My lessons from Warren aren't working that well.... I want my money back

[dlygrisse]

Big Ben Kern with a sleeve on his left arm.

 

that’s awesome.

he is built like an offensive lineman. :)

 

Good to see a club pro can still make the cut.

[cdnglf]

I see BK being everything we thought DJ to be! Better closer and putter....Jupiter,Florida has some talent living around here!

 

If you could mix Koepka's majors in with DJ's regular Tour performances, you'd have the best player of the generation.

 

You’d have Rory, so... yeah.

Those were good times, huh?

[FLGOLFJUNKIE]

That was the best Major of the year, by far.

 

No Sunday better. Normal golf course, under par. Amazing entertainment.

 

Long live the PGA

Well, if you read the header of the post ...

[BNGL]

How are we judging personality? He does not throw the F bomb around the young patrons so -1. Has not been accused of cheating on the course so -2. He has not had his mug shot posted on the net so -3. Yep, how could we enjoy or admire a guy like this?

 

He hasn't cheated on his wife with porn stars or Perkins waitresses, ...-1. He hasn't amassed hundreds of millions of dollars and still stiffs people on tips...you guessed it...another -1.

 

With all due respect, you have no idea about this man's personal life. And it's even more bizarre that you're judging others that way...I know of few who can rightly claim sainthood, do you??

 

I tip generously and am faithful to the vows I've made to my wife. It's not a Mother Theresa or Hitler dichotomy...there are shades gray in there. You root for whomever you want for whatever reasons you want. I'll do the same, thanks.

 

So because you tip generously makes you holier than everyone else? La ti f***** da.

Pretty sure you can throw Hogan in a few more too for winning the first three in one year.

[Darth Putter]

Brooks moves to #2 in the world.

 

Tiger up to #26

[Pent08]

Can't believe Koepka shot 4- today. One thing is for sure, trailing players will need to fire at every pin anytime he's leading a major after 54 holes.

Koepka to all the fans after beating Tiger today

 

 

 

 

Shot of the day was Tiger's putt on #18? Really CBS?

 

There were so many that were better than the putt on 18. My choice is Koepka's shot on 16.

[redfirebird08]

Looks like Tiger finished 11th in Ryder Cup standings. That's with zero starts in the 2017 majors. Should be no controversy now when Furyk picks him.

Well, if you read the header of the post ...

 

So to win three you must of won two so if figured it would fit the "header'". But I guess you meant two major wins only which is fine. Was just asking a question.

Exactly! TW will be on the team hands down!

[Konklifer]

What Koepka has done is astounding. I see no reason for it not to continue.

 

Tiger literally has one thing to fix and he could challenge Jack's record.

[mgholda]

Great show PGA! USGA please take note.

Your tears are like Gatorade, they replenish my electrolytes. You should be more concerned with who you root for, and why, than who I root for.

Agreed! Hopefully the USGA learned something this week.

Tigers a great golfer, hes also a morally bankrupt, ill mannered arse. I realy dont understand how people can see him differently.

I've stood next to him in several tournaments. His manners have been atrocious on each occasion.

Tiger's 2nd to like 6 inches after that lip out bogey, was / the shot of the day. It kept him in contention and the fans went crazy. You really have to think that it put some stress on Brooks at the time.

[chippa13]

He's traded chipping yips for wayward tee shots with almost anything he tries off the tee.
