Hook DeLoft Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Koepka’s public persona has always rubbed me the wrong way. After watching Full Swing, I felt he went to LIV because he didn’t think he would ever play at a high level again because of his injuries. So, I give him a semi-pass for that decision. What’s really fascinating to me is his performance in the Majors vs. regular events. I think he has a total of 9 wins on the PGA Tour and the Euro Tour and over half are majors. He could end up with 8 or 9 majors and fewer than 20 wins. tony@CIC, BKervin, Rickp and 2 others 3 2 Quote 14 of the following: Ping G430 Max 10.5 degree Callaway 2023 Big Bertha 3 wood set to 17 degrees Cobra F9 Speedback 7/8 wood set at 23.5 degrees Callaway Epic Max 11 wood Ping Eye 2 BeCu 2-SW Mizuno 923 JPX HM HL 6-GW Hogan sand wedge 56 degree bent to 53 Maltby M Series+ 54 degree Ping Glide 3.0 Eye2 58 degree Ping Glide 3.0 60 degree Evnroll ER2 Ping Sigma 2 Anser Cheap Top Flite mallet putter from Dick's, currently holding down first place in the bag TaylorMade Mini Spider Bridgestone XS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t want Koepka to win the PGA, or DeChambeau or any LIV golfer win. In my mind all they wanted to do was chase the money and betray the one who gave them their opportunity. I have always heard golfers say it wasn’t the money but the opportunity to play against the best in the world as their reason for playing, guess some of them were just blowing smoke so the general public wouldn’t know what greedy opportunists they really were. Honestly I can see them chasing the money after they turn 40 when their chances of winning decrease dramatically. But in their 20’s? I'd agree with you - but at least he was one that right up front was honest about it and said he did for the money primarily because he was unsure how long he could play with his injuries.

Madden B Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 I used to love Brooksie, he was one of my favorites. But I really didn't want him or any of the LIV guys to win either. He did play incredible and I was so sad for Hovland on that bunker disaster that ended any chance he had to catch up, but I wish Koepka didn't win.

vandyland Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 **COURSE SETUP TAKE INCOMING** Late to the party but I found the golf on Sunday pretty exciting ALBEIT I don't love the mega thick rough + narrow fairways combo. I feel like it basically eliminates the short hitters because now everyone misses fairways and it is seemingly better to be 20 yds into the rough (where the gallery tramples it down) vs rolling 1 yd into the rough and having to hack it out. Plus a 9 iron is easier to hit out of rough vs a 6/7 iron for shorter hitters. Also, the thick rough around the greens really sucks. Short grass around the greens with runoffs, to me, identifies short game mastery whereas the thick rough just forces everyone to try their luck hacking it out. Plus it stops the ball closer to the hole whereas short grass can just let an errant shot keep getting worse. Anyway, no one really cares what I think but that was my main takeaway.

I tend to agree with you, especially about some areas around the green. But, this is what the PGA and the USGA have wanted for years,and they will continue to lengthen courses and have rough at 3" or more and complain the pros hit it too well. Let's face it. The USGA has rarely ever gotten it right. I'm sure many here remember Shinnecock, where players aimed for the bunker on a par 3. The PGA followed those footsteps.
