JT has 2 majors….the other guys are just getting going. Let’s see what they do before you proclaim them. And there is only one Tiger.

Very bad take on your part

Rory has as much talent as anyone on tour .... hasn't won a major in years
there is something missing and is mostly between the ears

His putting stinks... Pure and simple... He appears to be unable to correctly read a break...

More like a decade in his prime years. Choker just like Norman and Colin Montgomery.
 
Brooks has the build to play the long game, and the last several years also really improved his short game. His game is tailor made for Majors. This PGA played more like a U.S. Open than it did a PGA and he ate up the course like the Tiger of old would do.
 
Great week for Block.. Makes 290K.. Gets the ace on Sunday.. Plays with Rose and Rory in rounds 3 and 4.. Qualifies for next year's PGA Tournament event.. And gets a call at the 19th Hole from Charles S Tournament reps offering him a sponsor's exemption to play in this week's PGA Tour event in Texas.. As he was quoted as saying.. "He's livin' the Dream." Cool story..

Good call.

Thanks Chin. It was a solid tourney with all kinds of weather to test the best and the rest. Brooks stood up. His drive on the apron of the par four was an all time great shot. Brooks is back and leads the pack. With Five (5) wins at this level he has separated himself with knowing how to win.

I hope he can also lead us back to a unified tour but the courts will weigh in on that. I also hope us average players can appreciate the rapid growth and opportunities that the LIV tour has created for all tours. I if were a player on the Corn Ferry Tour, PGA tour and others, such greater and faster chances have created a golden opportunity for all aspiring and touring players. If your not seeing that your missing something.

At the interview, after the third round, Brooks was well composed. He said he knew how to win with what the Master had taught him. WOW what great confidence against a deep field. I like that a lot.

Back 9, I forget which hole. Block had a putt and Rory was almost exaxt same line just inside of Block. Maybe 10'. Block's putt went a few left tobriggt and he missed it. Very simple putt for Rory after seeing the lineband speed. Nothing more than start the putt about a ball outside left edge. Rory never got the ball on line. He missed the right edge of the cup by 3"-4". Massively poor attempt by a tour pro.
 
That error was inexcusable. He hit it so poorly too. Never started it on line was low from the strike

Block said he thought the greens were in great shape and the hole(s) looked big to him for most of the Tournament

They will be catering even more to a fewer elite.
 
CBS Good morning America cut Block off mid sentence today LOL. But they talked about Griner for way too long, pitiful. They were so impressed with how she feels about the American flag now. :rolleyes::mad:

My partner for the last mens club tournament did the same thing. It was like, dude, haven’t you ever played here? Haven’t you watched anything? He’s played there for years and is clueless.

Block just got invited to play this weeks tour event. He was quite happy, asked his boss if it was ok to miss work this week……ha
 
He was on good morning america? Did he mention he’s played in 25 pga tour events + 10 time pga player of the SoCal section or is he going with the 1 bucket per week routine?

He had a lifetime dream this week. Good for him. His par on 18 was impressive.

Koepka’s win is sort of a funny back-handed compliment to LIV. They are understandably getting as much play as possible out of one of their guys winning a major, but Koepka has consistently finished middle of the pack at LIV events. He’s obviously back and should be dominating those pretty weak fields, but is clearly phoning it in. I guess it’s not too much different than his PGA tour career though. The dude just gets up for the big stage and doesn’t really care about the week to week little stuff (totally understandable with his major success).

Interview lengths vary and you only have so much time to tell your story compared to how much time is spent by the show telling your story. I do know I heard interviews during the PGA where he talked about playing practice rounds for fun in California with Cantlay and other touring pros. He also mentioned it took him a long to realize he is just a club pro and not a touring pro and to learn how to play his game on the course.

He is a great example of how talented some of these club pros are; many if not most played college golf and plenty of them spent time on mini-tours or stuff like that. There is a huge gulf in talent between tour pros and club pros and also between tour pros and scratch golfers.

There's a reason no PGA club pro has done this well in around 30 years.

I bet there are many club pros that have the talent but the problem is if they are at a point with a family making a choice to be constantly on the road while working on their game 10 hours a day it’s understandable why they chose that path. I don’t know his story from the early years but I’m happy for him now.

Pretty bad take. In his last 9 LIV starts, which coincides with being healthy, Koepka has 2 wins and 3 other Top 10. Far from middle of the pack
