be careful what you wish for.Youll miss him when hes gone.As cheesy as Nantz can be hes a true pro and enjoyable to listen to and fair in his thoughts. He and Lundquist get crapped on all the time but theyre great, especially at the masters

[DatSliceDoe]

I don't think I can handle another Koepka win.

He's paid to give his opinion. Whose opinion besides his own would he give?

full round for real ?

 

Stupidest idea ever for his neck and back, chewing tenses the jaw muscles which tenses the posterior chain, wow didn't think i'd see that but not really surprising.

[Jackhammer993]

I have not been a Brooks Koepka fan up until today but today I felt myself pulling for the guy. He’s won 3 majors but for me the tone of those majors compromised his victories. Erin Hills was not a US Open caliber course and the USGA jacking up Shinnecock took away from that. The PGA win over Tiger was impressive but fairly easy layout. Today felt different. Maybe it just took me awhile to get use to him but I’m starting to appreciate what Brooks brings to the table. With that being said I’m voting for Bryson and looking forward to an amazing next 3 days.

I don't understand how he can't win a regular Tour event but turns into this stud in the majors. They're supposed to be the hardest tournaments and he plays like he's under no pressure at all.

[gatorpedsMD]

Bryson w/ the round of the day. Casey w/ the anti round of the day.

Like I mentioned before the dude is 28 and has 12 worldwide wins. He came up playing internationally.

 

Also Jack Nicklaus said it best for years. Majors are the easiest tournaments to win. Plenty of guys just don't have it mentally and the courses separate the most talented players from the rest.

[buckeye440]

Molinari is a guy to watch. Pretty quiet 70. Next thing you know on Saturday he will be two off the lead.

[nosedive32]

Bryson is looking to become the 7th player to win low am and go on to win the Masters. The other six have combined to win 17 of the 82 Masters. Middlecoff (1) Nicklaus (6) Crenshaw (2) Woods (4) Mickelson (3) Garcia (1)

[buckeye440]

Also all the par 5s are really gettable. Top players seem to be at least 3 under on them today. Probably losing strokes on the field if playing them at -1 or worse? Top 5 played them at 3 under or better.

Hank Haney regularly says on his show that the big hitters play a par 72 as a par 68, so they start with a four-shot advantage over the rest of the field per round. They expect to birdie the par 5s.

[gatorpedsMD]

ok what's up w/ the gum?

[Darth Putter]

> @gatorMD said:

It's when Tiger and Phil run out of gum, then the rest of the field is in trouble.

Love it when the Amish guy gets peeved at Brandel, heck even Rich a little bit!

[puttfordoux]

Tiger and Phil Live.

This right here is one reason I kinda don't like him. It is as if he saves himself for majors only, and doesn't try at all in normal events. It is just plain weird. I love a major winner, but they kinda have to be relevant on tour to start with.

 

Also, majors being the easiest tournaments to win? You sure? Tiger has 80 wins, 14 are majors...so the other 66 events?

That's like knocking Rory because all 4 of his major wins played soft.

 

Winning 3 or 4 majors in your 20s wherever they are is big. No ifs or buts.

[Darth Putter]

We almost saw Bryson DeChambeau's first ever ace today.

Yah. Last I checked everybody played the same course.

Hell of a lot better than blade collar/mock turtleneck.

 

PLEASE don't make that a thing again. Freaking awful...

Wow, I’m surprised at that. I mean I’ve never had an ace but I’m me and Bryson is Bryson. Woulda thought he’d have AT LEAST one.

[ebrasmus21]

Anyone else notice that Bryson takes prodigious divots? Look at the crater he took with him on 16 today.

He would have had an ace today, but neglected to account for the gravitational pull of Venus.

Surprised me too. Must be a calculation out of whack!

Venus, yeah. She’s a cruel mistress. Byrson is still young, he has time to add Venus to his calculations.

I've never gotten this- when TW was tearing it up, buying the field by six + strokes it was the greatest thing ever- can't miss tv! Now, when it's someone else, it's boring?
