Get a Rolex. All they do is put clocks on courses. :D

 

 

[QuigleyDU]

first test for Koepka.

[nsxguy]

Already TL so DR but how does the tournament set up tee times ?

 

Koepka and Woods playing together I get. But out before, and finishing before, ANY TV coverage ?

[BobMorris]

Nice save

[Pent08]

Wow Koepka.

[One Putter]

I just hate the guy's face, what's wrong with that?

[TomBomb51]

Callin out Brandel. LOVE IT

[tbowles411]

Koepka's on a freaking mission! Wow!

They have to play morning and afternoon first two days. TV coverage never really starts early enough to get morning guys. Tomorrow will be all Tiger on TV though.

Brooks is putting on an absolute clinic, but Tiger has a lot to feel good about. Aside from that bad wedge on #10 and plugging on #17, he should be 2 to 3 under, but such is golf.

Side note- Rolex is one company that I have no idea how they make enough money to do the advertising they do. Yes, they have massive markups, but how many $10-50K watches can you sell in a year ?

No problems with the feed here, Google Chrome on a lined high speed internet connection.

 

The issues with Koepka are simple to digest. People don't like celebrities and athletes who just show up to work and have the lunch pail mentality anymore. Gone are the days of Lou Gehrig and others who came to do their job, stayed quiet, and just did awe inspiring things and were beloved. We live in a world where they want emotion and a story and Koepka doesn't really provide that. That issue is complete crap in my opinion. However, the other issue is the guy legitimately does not seem to care one iota about the tournaments that are not majors and I think that bugs people. He has this killer robotic mentality at the majors and then shows up to the regular tour stops and mails home some 15th place finish. It is really odd that he has five PGA Tour victories and three are majors. I can see how some would not like that. It is hard to get behind a guy who is legitimately only relevant 4 weeks out of the year.

He's not playing too badly to be honest. Just have to be patient. And club Brooks in the knee... ;)

Who the f*** are these bozos on Bleacher Report talking about golf odds and betting? It's as bad as the morons on Fast Money on CNBC!

I bet golf nearly every week...betting a winner is a suckers bet (but fun!). The only way to cash is to have a stable of golfers that you bet every week...and hope that they don't have an awful year. Or get really lucky.

Just now they were talking about how happy the BK bettors must be...I have had so many golfers leading after THREE rounds (not just 15 holes) who have failed on Sunday...most recently Molinari at the Masters.

And there is very little way to hedge your bets should you be in that position without giving away the majority of your payoff.

If this is a preview of sports broadcasting with the legalization of sports betting, lets go back to the good old days when we all had bookies.

I thought this course was supposed to be hard. What's the big deal?

They supposedly move like 800k watches a year and have a 30% profit margin on them so...doing the math...that's a lotta money.

The course is wet and gettable. Might be a different story this weekend.

These guys are good ?

[BobMorris]

Rain has made the fairways receptive. Otherwise you'd have a lot more people playing from the cabbage.

It is hard, 6-under led the last time a major was held here day 1 as well and by the end of the week -4 was good enough to claim the trophy.

Sounds like a good time to go play 18.

Nothing, if you are five years of old.

[DatSliceDoe]

Brooks will never lose another major he's in. He can become the GOAT.

[Konklifer]

I can't get enough of these B/R odds cut-ins.

[BobMorris]

It's early...heck, he can lose this one. One bad day of driving the golf ball around here, and you'll be backing up in a hurry.

[bscinstnct]

What a day. Hiked accross to 9 to see TW tee off. Not many around, pretty easy to follow for a few holes. Was like a few feet away. Then, the masses came, lol. Jumped ahead. Course is dope, few good spots to see multiple holes.

Had a pork sandwich, tired, loungin on the hill by 2nd green.

Should have used a golf cart
