2018 CJ Cup @ Nine Bridges

This hat is so fugly it could have been done by Nike.

 

 

Really got to wonder if it is that cold if he is wearing a base layer and a polo shirt?!

 

I would bundle up everywhere else if it meant now playing with rain gear on ... such a difference in how you can swing with and without a windbreaker on

I didn't know Elmer Fudd was playing this week

This course is awesome. Some of the greens look super tricky. Between the purse and the course, I’d be at that tournament every year.

 

JT with a snowman on a par 4. He’s using a blade putter. I can’t recall him using anything other than the Futura.

Jason Day with a nice 65

Same for Ted Potter Jr. Started with a 77 in the first round and has gone 67-65 last two rounds.

Does this event count for FedEx points? Pretty strong field to be just starting the new season after so many conesecutive playoff events and RC.

Yes - 500 points for first place.

[OldTomMorris]

Brooks Koepka is a golfing machine, given he's got 3 majors already it seems strange to say but I think he's going to take it to the next level and start accumulating wins.

 

Looking good for him starting to rack them up especially given his record at closing, Koepka is the boss.

 

Followed him closely since his ET days and to be honest I never thought he was this good, massively impressed.

[imakaveli]

Would be fitting to have a world #1 that really travelled all the world to reach that spot.

Ah, yes. For some reason I was thinking somebody else used one of JT’s backup putters.

[SkiSchoolPro]

BK in good position to take over #1...if he keeps his lead he'll have a small cushion and will likely finish the year #1 UNLESS DJ, Rose or JT have a win or a couple of high finishes. BK still #1 if he finishes solo 2nd, but that puts him only .01 ahead of DJ, so you could see some flip-flopping even on weeks neither plays.

 

The purse for this even is insane.

 

CJ Cup @ Nine Brdiges Purse of $9,500,000 is larger than

 

next week's Sanderson Farms Championship ($4,400,000)

last week's British Masters (~$3,900,000)

and the Australian Open (~$900,000)

 

put together

 

And even that ain't enough to get what, no more than 2 of the World Top 10?!

 

The PGA Tour - these guys are rich!

Yes, only 3 of the Top 15, but a majority of the guys from 16-50. No cut tournaments with high purses, full FEC points and decent OWGR points are good ways to help keep your card, improve your OWGR (to get in majors) and boost your bank account. The top 15 may not worry about these things much, but a lot of the other guys do.

Never caught any of the coverage today but he definitely had the Futura in the bag Thursday and Friday, must have been cold if he felt the need to switch.

Even by your standards, this is an amazingly ignorant statement.

 

Justin Rose just reached #1 with wins in China, Turkey, Indonesia and the United States.

 

Every #1 has traveled around the world to reach that spot, even Fred Couples and Tom Lehman.

[Golfer4Life]

Koepka is on fire!

Ryan Palmer on a hell of a run as well.

Very under appreciated player. Has 3 wins on tour and is literally top 10 / top 20 on tour in birdie average every year.Crazy good player

[ALIF]

What an exciting tournament to watch!

[Darth Putter]

I'm waiting for the "Is Brooks Koepka a legitimate #1?" thread.

 

Jason Day's high finish means Jordan Spieth is out of the world top 10 for the first time in over four years.

[DrivingChamp]

Koepka took another thing away from DJ

From bitter posts to insults, well done! ;)

[OldTomMorris]

Koepka is such an impressive player, a seriously rock solid game that works under pressure.

[imakaveli]

Fom twitter :D

 

Brooks Koepka becoming the No. 1 player in the world when most of the United States is asleep and the fact that he might take that personally would be very appropriate and on brand.

[DrivingChamp]

What the hell is pulter and piercy doing?

[Cwebb]

What a finish. The dude is rock solid. He says he hasn't peaked yet and I believe him

[Darth Putter]

Brooks closes with a 29 to win by four.

 

He now has five PGA Tour wins, only 205 men ahead of him.

 

Of course, only 28 men have more majors than he does.

 

Brooks is the twenty-third man to ascend to the world #1 spot, the eighth American to do so.

[KennyP]

I don't see any weaknesses in Brooks' game whatsoever.
