Could Brooks be the most versatile golfer of all time?

I say yes...

lol... well played!

How many of these since 2015? Half?

"A missed cut at the PGA Championship for Tiger Woods is a reminder of an underrated statistic in his career: Woods has now missed 19 cuts on the PGA Tour (20 worldwide), nine in majors. For perspective: No. 1 Dustin Johnson has missed 37 in his career; Justin Rose has missed 62; Brooks Koepka 19, Rory McIlroy 20 and Justin Thomas 25. Those players are ranked among the top 5 in the world."

I laughed.

Yeah, but could he have played this well when the balls spun more and didn’t go so far?

BK is unbelievable in the majors - crazy to think how TW had a major run kind of like this, and ALSO won 8 or 9 other times each year.

TW doesn't miss cuts - kind of his thing! Aren't most of those misses in the last few years too?

Hoping Speith can make this interesting. Love watching Bethpage - the only course I used to play regularly that the pros play. Played it a week before the 2002 Open and got a feel for the insane rough. If you missed the fairways, you had to chip out to the fairway - couldn’t get a long iron on the ball

Yeah, TW went like 12 years without missing a cut.

Agree. Great to look at. Tough but fair. Keep it in the fairway.

Gorgeous day at Bethpage.
More to come.

bk...bogey bogey

The Koepka show.

DJ somehow needs to get to four back for Sunday either he goes off or Koepka bobbles a bit.

Either way, need it closer for some Sunday drama.

[The SnowShow]

So much for moving day. BK has this.

[nutmegchoi]

Such a beautiful day at Bethpage Black.
I’ve been to many tournaments but today has to be the best tournament weather we’ve ever had.
Sunny, high 60F to low 70F, light breeze, low humidity, just comfortable.

Arrived around 9:30am to have breakfast and first drink at Empire Club.
Walked around the course and ran into random am groups.

Boyfriend bet $100 on Brooks Koepka when he was 13:1.
Things looking up so far.

Next up, LPGA US Open in Charleston.

Way to get it!!!

[cinnepa]

^^^^absolutely...well done.

[DBdude]

what is the collective thinking? Can DJ catch koepka? I think koepka has it even though he has dropped two strokes

[4matic]

What compels east coast fans to yell stupid comments after every shot. Guido factor?

[DBdude]

i prefer long island and jersey sir. just kidding, yes and of course the sons of erin from rockaway

i must defer to benny though, the ultimate local

[booner]

Yes he can

Not saying it's a sure thing he catches him, but I think it's going to get close

Haha was thinking the same thing. It’s worse than normal since it is Long Island. 🤦

[irul&ublo]

WTF is with Dustin Johnson’s camel toe!!!????

[Sluff]

Hung like horse.

Koepka may blow this. Finally getting interesting.

[TahoeJ]

In the end... the winner is... Bethpage black?

Told a friend this morning that -11 would win it. Didn’t think it would be even worse!

[nutmegchoi]

Watching these pros struggle, I don’t think I should be playing Bethpage Black anytime soon.

Have you played Bethpage Blue or White? Those are really fun.

I haven’t played Black in 15 years but found it hard but not ridiculous, in non-tourney conditions. It has hard to reach a few fairways and not end up in the tall shit. You saw Varner III on the fourth? I remember lots of hacks like that out of deep rough if you’re not on the fairway.

Try and get on - it’s worth it even if you hack around. The experience of sleeping in the lot is fun.
