That's simply not true.

 

The alcohol part however is true and you can add cameras and microphones to the list.

Koepka finally showed some emotion with that emphatic fist pump and "F*** yeah!" at the end.

EXACTLY my thought at that moment! That's one strong woman there.

 

[msonaglioni]

Hats off to Brooks! He grind and pull it off like a true champion. That speaks volumes of him... big time. If he wins at Pebble (which I think he will), a double digit major career is serious business

[Pent08]

Kudos to the OP for going the extra mile with the thread title updates.

Now Brooks knows what it's like to be Tiger on 18 at Augusta.

[Ronnie Mundt]

Jim Nantz is the worst. Again trying to make everything about him. A Koepka Coronation? Come on you idiot.

[paulshack]

If brooks wins 20 majors is he the goat LOOOL

[bspn]

So have we found BK's kryptonite? Wind?

[MountainGoat]

Nantz is a total pro.

Maybe he figures if he shakes enough major winners hands, it will run off on him.

He has to say something 'special' at that moment on any major. It has become pretty lame.

Yes, a tip of the cap to Tiderider for doing a great job with this thread.

Why?

They are good friends. Good sportmanship.

[Cwebb]

He might just roll off several more in the next few years. The ideal cool calm attitude and the confidence after this experience, will be at all time high. He's playing with a bunch of house money now

[jmvargas]

it irritates me when the lady describes this as "the strongest field in golf"....it's not lady---the Tournament Players Championship is!!

 

it is, however, "the strongest field of all the majors!!"...

 

BTW..only Dustin Johnson broke par all 4 days!!

[Stanks]

No one likes New York fans...Garbage. Horrid.

Class act by Koepka though. No shade thrown during his little ceremony. No BS said. Lots of love to DJ. Brooks is looking too good. Can't wait to see what he does the rest of this season.

Man golf is hard ... major tournament golf really hard

Koepka proved that today while proving he is really really good

Actually you are completely wrong.

 

It is the strongest field in golf and in particular this year if you read about it before the tournament.

Despite Justin Thomas having to drop out due to injury, the 2019 winner is the PGA.

PGA SoF 901

TPC 882

Masters 796

 

 

The last time the PGA was not the strongest field was 2014, when it was the British Open.

Exactly. You can’t manufacture those moments. Nantz is just pissed because Gary Koch’s “Better than Most” is light years more memorable than anything Nantz has ever said. But Koch wasn’t in front of his bathroom mirror the night before saying it to himself for effect. Koch’s was completely off the cuff. Nantz still desperately trying for his Gary Koch moment LOL.
