Koepka defends title; shows charisma with fist pump; glfwrx goes wild

CBS graphic overlays work as often as sex panther cologne.

Lol the tracer had Brooks' ball deep in the woods on the right. In reality, the ball is sitting in the middle of the fairway.

It hit a tree and bounced there, it was actually headed into the woods

CBS overlay: Rory's putt will break left to right.

Reality: Rory's putt breaks right to left and goes into the hole.

You're absolutely correct, I regret my CBS graphics pile on!

It hasn't been great, so no regrets!

 

Just in THAT case they did actually get it right.

Amazing that anything could read a green worse than Rory.

Lee Westwood?

[Pent08]

Rory put up a valiant effort for the back door top 10. Time will tell.

[MaineMariner]

Don't get TOO excited yet... but if DJ keeps swinging for the fences and Brooks keeps hanging around at even par for the round, things could get interesting.

I don’t play golf at 2:30

Jazz is playing well.

> I think most of us agreed that DJ had the stronger resume than Brooks going into the week, but how about after assuming he wins this one? 6 wins including 4 majors vs 20 wins including 1? Let's remove 1 major from each player to make things easier: DJ 19 regular wins vs Koepka 2 regular wins + 3 majors. Remove Koepka's regular wins and we get 17 wins vs 3 majors. I know it's super tempting to give it to Brooks, but Dustin does have 6 WGCs as well and 4 Fed ex playoff wins. I'm not even sure where I stand.

 

its a case of looking at career versus window of 5-10 years.its a marathon not a sprint. DJ should have/could have multiple times in majors and Brooks just did it. For now its really wild to see and talk about. Phil broke through late and won 5 majors while never getting to #1 because obviously Tigers decade+ wouldnt allow it. DJ is consistently #1 and contending seemingly at most majors.You have to think he wins a few more, its almost impossible to picture him not but you never know. Also with all due respect to Brooks, I dont know what the next 5 years hold in store for him.I doubt he makes any swing changes but again based on his full resume can we assume in the next 5 years he wins only 2 tour events and 3-4 more majors? Hard to see that repeating based on historical trends but again who knows

[tiderider]

dj's back 9 yesterday really did him in ...

> @MtlJeff said:

somebody said hes averaged 23rd place in his last 4 majors and moving up with today so hes trending nicely.I know he gets alot of flack for being slow but from where hes come from with a career threatening back injury so young to now should be commended.I admire his perseverance

[DatSliceDoe]

Shot. Game. Over.

[lowheel]

By my count thats his 5th or 6th tap in wedge this week.Thats hard to beat

Rory and Kuchar with matching 69s today and they will probably get their backdoor Top 10s.

[blblco02]

So I asked some bodybuilder friends about Koepka’s supposed massive physique that the announcers won’t shut up about. They laughed and said he’s small.

[Darth Putter]

Wallace, Jazz and List still battling it out to be in the Top 4 which gets them into The Masters next year.

I'd say he's big in his sport. Yeah not compared to body builders and football players. In his sport I would say he is in the top 2 percent as far as physique is concerned which still isn't saying much.

 

[Mr. Grumpy]

From helping to look for a lost ball, to giving Harold a pinch of dip,, is this the makings for "golfer of the year"? :smiley:

wow what a sequence on 17!!

After seeing him, hes in great shape, perfect for his game. 6', 205-210.

Hes not jacked because he doesnt lift in that weight/rep range or eat to gain mass. But he defintely has a frame that he could lift heavy, eat a lot, and get to 240 in a couple years and be pretty big.
