Golf: 2018 US Open: June 14-17 at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Koepka keeps finding shots where Dustin cant make putts

Better putter.

 

[MMC]

Always thought I’d never be able to get into watching golf on TV and here I am.

Webb Simpson

Are you comparing them? Or did Webb go low and let everyone else come to him in 2012?

The latter.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

And its over. Koepka will now have more major wins than regular PGA Tour wins.

 

[Dakota Sioux]

Koepka’s to lose now

 

[Dakota Sioux]

Better putter.

Today. Thursday and Friday it was DJ with the hot putter.

Koepka has always been a better putter than DJ. He doesn't really have any holes besides a sometimes weak short game. Koepka is pretty much what Rory would be right now if Rory could putt.

But it sometimes seems like he lacks motivation. He's very talented, but has 2 PGA Tour wins at age 28. Thats not very good.

Reed needed the next club up

I don't think that is a fair analysis. He spent like 3 years honing his skills on a second tier tour in Europe. If that isn't motivation to make it in pro golf, I don't know what is.

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]

The latter.

The morning is always the easier draw in tour events. The greens get fast and people have walked all over them by the afternoon wave.

This is his fifth year on the PGA Tour, this will be his 3rd win. He really only had to play 1 and a half years in Europe. In 2014, he had PGA Tour membership, so he didn't have to continue playing there. And he's only won one event on that tour that wasn't a major.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I'd be shocked if he doubled from there. Could bogey it, but as long as he does nothing stupid, he'll win.

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]

oooooooooh koepka

 

[Cody Webster]

What a break for Koepka

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]

Yes but it is still insanely difficult to win on the tour.

 

[GKJ]

Koepka got saved on that one. He’s hit some shots that should’ve hurt him more than he’s been

 

[Dr John Carlson]

I think this shot is a lot harder than the announcers are implying.

 

[Dakota Sioux]

Patrick Reed nails it in his interview after his round. The course was hard yesterday, not unfair. There were a few pins (13, 15) a yard or 2 too close to an edge. Thank you, Patrick Reed.

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Nevermind. Thought it would slope harder from there.

 

[Dakota Sioux]

We have our first back to back champ since Strange did it back in 88-89

 

[Cody Webster]

Back to back

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Disappointing finish. Felt like the tournament was pretty much over after those up and downs that Koepka made on 11, 12, and 14.

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

Take out Fleetwood, and the rest of the Top-10 finished today at a combined +1, with 4 people being over par for the round and no one better than -2.

But yeah... this is so similar to the JD Classic
