2020 PGA Championship: Glory's Only Shot

[JD3]

Happy for morikawas win, he earned it

Not happy those last few holes of the pursuers ended not meaning anything

Koepkas schtick getting old, looked foolish out there

[Lark]

I don’t see Wolff being a great and jury’s out on Hovland. I see Morikawa, Rahm, and Justin Thomas as the 27 and under stars likely to last.

[carrier street]

I think Morikawa is an incredible player, but I did not think he had it in him to go full boss and go get a major on a Sunday like that. I assumed guys would just start to melt away, but he went a took that ish. Good for him.

[nicoy3k]

Please... Spieth is one of the most magical players in the history of golf... really the only one we’ve had since Tiger/Phil. Morikawa is a nice player, plays an extremely boring style or golf (beautiful yes, boring most definitely)... lets see him win one of these with the pressure of 15.000 fans in the gallery before we crown him of anything.

[golfgirlrobin]

Don’t say this often, but kudos to Jim Nance for intentionally speaking over the phone call from Collin to his parents. It was a bad choice by the director and Nance recognized it.

[ProStryker]

Why does Justin Leonard have the haircut of an 8 year old little boy?

[NormanFan]

Yeah, I noticed this too.

[CasualLie]

Spieth one of the most magical players...wow. One of the biggest flashes ever...yes... But still a flash in the pan.

But I too reject the Morikawa - Spieth comparisons; just for totally different reasons.

 

 

[USCHawks31]

Driver to seven feet and making the eagle put on 16 was boring as hell.

[Darth Putter]

That drive at #16 will certainly go down as one of the great golf shots in history.

[ProStryker]

That was pure class by Paul Casey, such good comments from him. True gentleman.

[Jobu]

That course favored a slice and the best slicer won.

[nicoy3k]

I can guarantee you it won’t even make the top 100

[KRAMER1997]

A year and a half ago Morikawa was playing in "The Farms Invitational".

[Darth Putter]

That's Hall of Fame Flash in the Pan to you.

Congratulations to Koepka for finally passing Speith in this year's FedEX Cup standings. Only ten more spots to catch Rickie.

[nicoy3k]

it took the air out of the entire tournament. Amazing shot, killed the excitement. Sorry it’s a fact.

[ProStryker]

I agree that Koepka looked pretty foolish throwing those comments out there, then throwing up on himself...

[Darth Putter]

 

Top 1000 gets you in great territory. There have been quite a few great golf shots in the last 150 years.

Is it a better drive than DJ's at Kapalua or Jack's at St. Andrew's?

[randywildman]

We need a GIF of Morikowa dropping the top of the trophy, that was hilarious.

[Darth Putter]

Nantz

 

A lot of people in this forum keep misspelling it.

[976-Evil]

I was still pretty excited, soooo not a fact

[Christen_The_Sloop]

I should have put money on the kid. Was there anyone else who mentioned the importance of winning at the Memorial earlier? It happens so often with major championships. It's almost like you need an impactful win earlier in the year in order to break through. There are far more examples, but if you think of Pavin, Couples, Weir even Woods. They got it done, in a relatively big way before breaking through. I mean it seems obvious, but Morikawa said that on the shot on 16 he was drawing on the shot on 14 at Memorial.

Can't say enough about how he grabbed onto this championship.

[ZettyMcGoo]

Why do you say he’s boring? He had an unreal chip in after a bad wedge and blasted one to 8 feet for eagle and made the putt coming down the stretch of a major. What is more entertaining than that?

[nicoy3k]

congrats to you, to 90% or the viewing public it was a fact

[Lark]

That chip-in and then the drive on 16 today sure weren't boring. He goes pin hunting as good as most anyone, which is exciting.

[JDCON]

You keep using that word, but I don’t think you know what it means.

[nicoy3k]

he won the memorial?

[Valtiel]

Hardly. Having played the course a few times, it is a pretty even split between fade and draw friendly holes.

Big congrats to Collin, this is huge for him and puts another talented young gun up at the top. A 6-under final round in a major championship at 23 years old deserves nothing but big respect.

[Christen_The_Sloop]

In an ordinary year, yeah that would have been. Rahm won the US Open of Ohio.

[harolease]

Colin is a clutch player.

Still remember that 20 foot downhill putt he made to take the win from away from JT ( right after JT drained a 50 footer ) a month ago

That was pretty exciting
