OT: 2023 PGA Championship

[LIuconn]

Rory isn’t a major choker. He’s just not as good as he once was. Still has more majors than the guys you listed minus Tiger

I picked brooks in my 1 and done. I don’t see anyone that’s -1 having a chance, so it will be a small chase group. Unless brooks gives some shots up

 

[uconngb]

not a choker but does not seem to have same killer instinct as some of his peers (Rahm, Scheffler, JT .... not to mention Tiger)
Go Bryson!

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

Slam dunk Ace by Block on #15! On the fly! What a dream week for him!

 

[Chin Diesel]

Unbelievable how Hovland has the exact same mistake from the exact same sport as Connors did yesterday.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Brooks is the real man here. All healed up and ready to go. Also has a chip on his shoulders and played the Masters like his game of old.

Good call.

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...

That’s what caddies can help with. It’s legal.

More like a decade in his prime years. Choker just like Norman and Colin Montgomery.

 

[wingsfan055]

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.

 

[LIuconn]

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.

Also mentioned that the loft on his putter was ideal for the greens.

 

[Chin Diesel]

RBC Canadian Open just gave Block a sponsor's exemption today.

 

[LIuconn]

Blocks getting more than 15 minutes

 

[mauconnfan]

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.

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

Did you just compare Rory McIlroy to Colin Montgomery?
