Brooks v Bryson in a 12 hole match in Vegas 11/26

[TheMoneyShot]

Did Bryson say F$&@ me today after Brooks made the putt on #8?

[ZAP]

Another vote for a skins game.  Let the fans vote via social media who they want to see play in it.  Any players who are willing to play can throw their hats in the ring.

[Double Dodger]

I think Brooks truly doesn’t like Bryson. The “I wanted to spank him” sounded very authentic. Would love to see them head to head in a real high stakes poker. 

[iBanesto]

Didn't get to watch it but Golf Digest said it was awkward in parts?

Brooks whipped his butt.  I think Brooks dislike for BDC is real and with Phil saying BDC will basically win easy, probably fueled BK even more.

 

I wouldnt be surprised if Brooks wants a piece of Phil.

 

I agree, bring back the skins game would be cool. 

[iBanesto]

No love lost from the looks of it.

Phil would hand Brooks his a**. Easy. He wouldn't even have to try. I mean, we're talking about one of the greatest to ever play the game vs a guy that had a good run for a minute but hasn't even been close to the top of a leaderboard in a while. 

 

And gold help anyone playing Phil in a money game.

Brooks is celebrating with Mayweather at the Duke-Gonzaga game. There’s a replay at midnight ET on TNT if you forgot to record it.

Phil would not beat BK as bad as you think.  In fact I would put money on BK.  Outside of the Champions Tour and the PGA hasn’t contended much either.  Phil may have more tour wins by a wide margin, but in majors it’s 6-4 and Phil’s match play record isn’t great either, and I like Phil.

Well that was boring.

[jgonz69]

Didn’t watch yet, but I’m guessing brooks was trying his totally forced (unfunny)humor ala Brady. BAD being awkward. And of course, know it all Phil making it all about himself and enlightening us with all his awesome knowledge of everything

Not really.  Brooks was totally chill today and Bryson was the one who looked uncomfortable all day.

If sponsors thought there was any value to it the skins game wouldn't have been gone since 2008. Especially after what some of the final fields were and the god awful television ratings. Same with the old SWWOG matches. Nostalgia is great but it is merely a mirage we create in our own minds. Nostalgia doesn't pay the bills.

Unless BK is really hot, BDC is gonna make him look bad and it won't be close.

BDC has a very safe floor in this kind of event. BK can't afford to make mistakes when he's being outdriven by 30-40 yards every hole.

You were saying?

Outside of his all time fluke win at Kiawah for the PGA, Phils performance on the PGA Tour has been god awful for 2+ years. People really need to take at look at his performance of the last couple of years. It's awful. There was a very real reason Phil was ranked 116th in the OWGR before his PGA win. He stunk.

Amazing outlier of a win nevertheless.

 

But I agree besides the outlier there wasn't much else.

The commentary had way too much non sensical talk about breathing.  😂

Agreed. An all time great win for PM. End of discussion. That's all it was. A great moment especially at his age. His Champions Tour success aside since then has no relevance when compared to his recent PGA Tour play. Let's recall that Phil a few years back complained that he would only play PGA Tour events in the future that would allow him play events that didn't have tough setups and let him be aggressive.  Really a player that many consider him a top 10-15 player admitting he wouldn't play tough conditions on the PGA Tour?

 

Phil on the PGA Tour has been just as bad post PGA Championship win as his pre championship win. It's unlikely to change. The numbers don't lie. Since his WGC Mexico win in 2018 that ended his long winless streak, his 2019 AT&T win in 2019 through his PGA Championship win Phil has been played quite poorly on the PGA Tour. The results show that. The issue is that many people here don't take the time to actually look at the actual numbers. #fact.

Agreed.

 

Some people read too much into a win such as Phil's at the PGA.

 

Another one IMO is DeChambeau's dominant win at the US Open, where some people believed that he has changed the game and near 200 mile ball speed is required because he will dominant every course he plays now. Even McIlory fell into that trap and lost his game.

 

But if you look at his results after this win although it has been consistent and solid, DeChambeau is not 'dominating' game with his distance.

 

Again, IMO it was just a week where everything worked for him.

I've never been a BDC fan, let's get that out of the way.  

 

But throughout this whole feud, and watching Brooks today, he's way more d-bag than chill.  If he were actually chill he would let his game yesterday and general upper hand in this feud being the "cooler" of the two guys speak for itself.  Beat BDC, be chill and classy doing it, and then go party in Vegas.  Period.

 

The conceded putt (on 7, I think - the one where BDC missed his birdie and ultimately had a longer comebacker) was an example of what I am getting at here.  Not giving a s*** and suggesting "good-good" after BDC ended up with the longer putt was the right move and a nice little flex by him when already up 3 with 5 to play.  But then the words he chooses in the quick interview that followed made him sounds like a d-bag... It's like Brooks is one notch below having the necessary maturity to really come out on top on this one.  I say, act "as-if" Brooks and if you really want to win the feud, play it a little cooler. Everyone knows he hates BDC, but it would be way cooler if he could control himself enough to not look so helplessly annoyed all the time.

Let's see, Phil's win at Kiawah was on one of, if not the hardest golf course in the country. Had never been done before in the history of golf. Was against the strongest field. And he was paired the final day with Brooks. Also, do you realize how many PGA players would take 3 wins ANYWHERE  in the last 4 years? How many even sniff a win when they get in their 40's? How in the world is that considered overrated?

[freeze16172002]

From what I watched it seemed like Mickelson was talking over everyone in his sunday golf attire. And two golfers being forced to have some type of personality, with alittle fake hype all over the place. The tweet of Barkley as Charlie the chimp was dumb to put on tv in this environment

Glad I didn't even bother trying to watch it.  Even the WRX banter for this event is underwhelming.

Ironically he won with his putting that week.

I think complete opposite. BDC is insufferable and brooks is the only one not publicly kissing his ash. That IS cool. 

[alcap26]

Thank God for Barkley calling out Phil on yoga being stretching but you pay more for it and analytics is data but somebody changed the name so they could get their their son in law an overpaid job.  Very glad Barkley was there to commentate.
 

Brooks spanked BDC and I’m glad.
