Koepka...back to reality now???

[Zen_Golfer]

Not to mention Brooks admitted that he doesnt lift like he used to. What made Brooks great was his distance and if he loses that, he may have to revinvent his game in order to win.

[bogiii]

I hope he gets it back! Kinda needs to after talking so much smack! I'm a fan if you can walk it!

[grm24]

BK has played 10 competitive rounds on tour since October 2019 and reaggravated a knee injury in the interim that he is still dealing with. Shot a 71 in the final round of the API with two doubles. Beat Rory by 5 shots. Guess Rory is done as well. Captain Controversy shot an 80 on Saturday. Is his career is over as well? WRX as always is nothing but overreaction central.

[Krt22]

If he tanks the Majors this year, perhaps he will final budge and sign a a full bag deal with.....P X G??

[Krt22]

Once he signs, he will put the XTREME in PXG golf. They will offer Brooks Bomber special edition clubs, which will feature a PXG logo'd protein shaker shaped head-covers (including irons). In addition to this, PXG and Brooks will partner to launch a MLM/subscription based personalized fitness/fitness equipment company. It will focus on app based golf-centric fitness regimes and branded supplementary fitness supplies for revenue.

I doubt he gets humble but he should just slightly. I actually like him. Alot of great golfers fall off sometimes very quickly. Hopefully not with him. I will say though rory is whipping his butt since the play of year award stuff lol. If you think about it though not 1 player comes back off injury on fire so hes got time and 4 weeks till masters is plenty of time. Pretty sure i can shoot a 92 and then shoot a low 80s round the next day. If i can do that he can for sure turn it around fast.

[fly787]

One thing he changed was his putting stroke/grip. Why he would do that is beyond me, as he was one heck of a good putter already!

[Holy Moses]

He won’t lose much if not any distance if he stops lifting

[Chris52]

Well looks like he is back,shot under par in his final round in those very tough conditions yesterday.

[Roadking2003]

2018:

8th in distance, 155th driving accuracy, 68th putting, 65th approach the green, 56th around the green.

2019

10th in distance, 102nd driving accuracy, 48th putting, 11th approach the green, 92nd around the green

2020

33rd in distance, 214th driving accuracy, 208th putting, 128th approach the green, 76th around the green

 

So, he's driving shorter and less accurately, putting worse, and his irons are worse. Not a winning combination.

[Roadking2003]

Not that good. He ranked 48th last year and 68th in 2018. Solid but not outstanding.

[Briman228]

If he played in Mexico City he would be right back to normal range in driving distance I believe. But his putter looks balky, though the last round of API was better, and hes got some terrible approach misses right now.

[Old Tom Morris]

It's a hard game. Brooks should be a little more humble because success can be so fleeting, for a variety of reasons. Injuries, driver woes, putting yips, swing problems can happen to anyone at any time.

[munichop]

He appears to be another example of how careers will shorten going forward. Chasing speed with every club is the current strategy and to do that a lot of guys work out hard. But id they get an injury to the wrong thing it can finish them. He already dodged a bullet with his wrist. He may have to shut it down for awhile to reset his golf with a bum knee. But one thing is for sure. He can't play well with a two way miss. Until that happens he will struggle out there.

[3jacker]

81 on Saturday was about like a 74 in "normal conditions." Still not good, but the number taken out of context looks a lot worse than it was.

[third-times-a-charm]

He and his caddie were at odds of what club to his several times this week at the API.

You could see his frustration and then he would hit it poorly when he didnt hit the club he wants to.

I think he has workflow issues with his caddy, call them mental I guess.

[3jacker]

He probably forgot how far he hits them and his caddy didn't.

A professional golfer should always want to hit the right club.

[Dr. Block]

Coming back from a knee injury is tough. Even if he doesn't get back to his once dominant level, he's already accomplished a hall of fame career. I wouldn't care either if I was him; everything moving forward is just gravy.

[bscinstnct]

 

Maybe if he retired and went into his fashion bro career.

 

But, it's no fun being #1, going around like you own the place, being in GQ.....and then going out missing cuts and shooting 80. Spieth can confirm that, I'm sure.

 

BK mentions a couple of things here,

 

"I found something with my putting, so my putting, the touch is back. I feel very confident with that. But still close on the swing, sometimes it's there and then sometimes it's not."

 

“I mean, every year we have come – I don't know how far back, to 2016 – all the way through the Match Play has been terrible. So I don't know what it is about these first three months of the year, but I struggle quite a bit.”

[3jacker]

The thread on A. Kim makes me think perhaps he should pull that same stunt. Cash out early with an insurance claim and ride the gravy train into golf obscurity.

[QuigleyDU]

Because he is a very (by tour standards) average putter at best. he has just been hot for a couple years. I have been saying for months he was due for a bit of a slide.

[Jarlaxle]

 

In reference to your last sentence.... that's what she said.

 

Sorry, big Office fan, couldn't resist

[Outlier]

I said it early on......"Brooksie" is YJS Part II. Rory, Justin Thomas, Dustin Johnson (maybe Rahm) will live their respective careers in the top 10 OWGR.

[dropkicked]

His downfall was stating that reaching double digit majors "should be easy".. lmfao

Golf Gods said "NO"....

#talkinfool #humblepie #tastesgreatlessfilling

[LowCut]

Historically tough week at Bay Hill for the field. A little adversity is good, particularly after his relatively serious injury to end last season. He'll be back!

[airjammer]

I think there is a good chance he has peaked very much like Spieth.

I don’t expect him to win another major but it’s way too early to count him out.

[Barfolomew]

Obviously Brooks has an axe to grind with the industry... nothin like the Spieth experience where he was loved and coddled.

 

Bet he gets off on everyone counting him out or even pulling against him then boom just won another major.... what ya gonna say now you chumps! He's turning into go ahead count me out of it guy. Like a great athlete playing a playoff game on the road and shutting up the whole arena Kobe style...shhhh

[Golfjack]

That would be a great pairing. As long as it's a irons and wedges deal so he can play his own woods and putter. Get it done!

[80sFredriksson]

48 in majors?

[Roadking2003]

No. He ranked 48th last year and 68th in 2018 for the entire season.
