Kolek planning to go pro
I love how Phil told his wife on the phone after the win :I will see you tonight. Another day in the office win a PGA and get on the Gulfstream and be home for desert.
I was super surprised with the scores among the last 4 or 5 groups. I guess the wind kicked up but It didn't look like the course was impossible. The Irish guys went sub 70.
There were very few opportunities for birdies . The event played more like a US Open in that regard
I thought there was a bit of gagging Herman to be quite honest. I just didn't expect all those loose shots. It's possible the fans being back played a role? Now the wind did change , but no one really shot a great round that was in contention.
I wouldn't call it gagging. Two groups of people in the final group, those with a lot to lose, and those with nothing to lose. The first group played it safe, leaving few birdie opportunities. The second group was aggressive, some of those it worked for and they put up lower scores, others it backfired, and they dropped back.
Almost 51 year old beats all the young guns on the longest course (7850 yards) ever at a major. And he was driving it as far as Brooks, Bryson and Rory. F’ing amazing.
I’m a little surprised how Koepka has performed down the stretch the last few majors he’s been in contention. He was a borderline robot and just imposed his will when winning. But lately he seems to be pretty rattled and struggled when he was in contention.I don’t know how much is the knee or he’s feeling pressure now that he’s the hunted.
Were you watching him squat to read putts? That showed the range of movement and strength he currently has in his right knee? It was his force of will that got him that far. He has a lot of work to do before Torrey Pines.
Dude banked $1.1 mil. last weekend. He's good, aina?

Brooks called out Bryson for slow play a few years ago. Bryson confronted him. Stylistically, they are oil and water. Bryson is so meticulous in his course prep, pre tournament prep, and then shot prep. Brooks is more along the lines of 'see ball hit ball. Two things I have contemplated before. 1. Is a secondary reason for Bryson bulking up to keep Brook from kicking his ass?2. Was Phil's pre shot routine also an attempt to slow play Koekpa?Anyway, looking forward to the first time Brooks and Bryson are in the final group together on Sunday. And, if Phil can make the Ryder Cup team, he should be paired with Bryson. Finally, I watched that video three times and laughed harder each time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QJiAK-s5a0
