They could have set it up as an open an everybody but BK would be over ; )

what's wrong with the blimp tracer?

Agree. I’d rather see the player swing.

[tiderider]

that's what i like about koepka ... there was a volunteer moving behind the green directly across his line of vision as he's setting up for that 2nd shot ... i think most pros would've backed off and reset ... didn't bother him at all ...

For one, it had Brooks' tee shot at 1 landing 30 yards right in the trees while it hit hit the fairway.

Next time I shank one I’ll say toptracer had it at 4 feet.

It hasn't shown to be accurate at all, and the best thing about the usual tracer is being able to see the shot shape....which the blimp doesn't give you either. Just another gimmick to be able to work in an advertiser name for some more dollars.

[bladehunter]

McCord reaction there was priceless. “ whoa whoa whoa , what just happened “! Lmao

[cvvorst]

Man, if koepka keeps this up it will be a bit boring today and tomorrow. I like the guy, he's a major machine! But in terms of excitement Tiger and to a lesser extent Spieth or Rory are the guys people would like to watch dominate a major. Just my opinion of course, I know plenty of people who would prefer it to be close, or don't like the aforementioned people mentioned.

[BobMorris]

YJS is fishing out there with his golf swing. If he can't fix it mid-round, he'll have to be sporting a world-class short game today to shoot any kind of score.

I wouldn't rather watch Spieth over Koepka....and can't see why most people would.

 

That aside, I like seeing as much variety and different player types as possible.

Mark down another aerial tracer fail.

wow, that one for spieth is way off ... didn't notice that the one time i remember seeing it ...

[Cwebb]

Adam Scott still has the best swing on tour. I also noticed something interesting in Koepka's putting setup. He addresses the ball towards the toe. He has talked about his stroke intention and feel being that of a "high draw". It appears that he's using positioning of the ball towards the toe to promote that

I don't get the fanboy thing. I want to see whomever is playing the best win. Koepka is beating the **** out of the strongest field in golf on a 7400 yard par 70 monster with a slope rating of 155. If that is boring to you take up badminton or something.

I think anyone can appreciate his level of play but he's not that easy of a guy to root for. Not even his fault, he may be a nice guy off the course I have no idea. But many people tend to root for players who wear their emotions on their sleeve a little more.

Why does Justin Rose insist on dressing like this is the Sony Open?

[bscinstnct]

Oof, DJ. Needed that. BK kick in.

Fat lady getting ready....

[MMB1500]

Pitch and putt stuff from Koepka. If he keeps this up it'll be the greatest major performance since, er, last month.

Yeah, I'm not liking this at all.

"Looks like there's a little but of heat haze out there today."

Er, no Rob, that's called air pollution.

Koepka's best strength, is that he doesn't wear his emotions on his sleeve. It's why he actually plays better in majors. He becomes more focused, without being rattled or intimidated

Agree. I respect that he’s good. He just seems like the guy that you’d not want to be around . As in zero personality. When Tiger has more personality than you. You are pretty dry toast. So yes. I agree. While I’m not actively rooting against him

, I do find it hard to care if he makes another birdie. It’s just not exciting. And I. Watch golf 24/7 365 . Wish I could explain it. Wish I was excited. But I took a nap in between when i posted here last and now. While trying to watch.

Funky stroke there by YJS.
