I’ve played this course before. It’s a very difficult golf course for anyone. Gotta hit fairways. Rough might be near unplayable this week with the recent rain and the fairway bunkers are a pain also. Forecast has been and will be early this week cold and rainy for May. It should get a little better on the weekend, but I think the course is going to play very long.
I’m picking DJ to win at -7. This week should be a premium on long and straight driving. I doubt it’s going to be a birdie-fest either.

bit odd that they would play the first May PGA Championship at a Northeast course
even tho the weather should be fine for the weekend, but it was about 40 degrees here this morning
long players should be among the leaders come sunday, but accuracy is more important than length
I was at the us open here in 2001 and sat by a par 4 on the back 9 for 3ish hours on day [can't recall what hole]
1 player who drove in the rough got on the green that day, Tiger, that's it
this is going to be US Open Part I this week, should be fun

Tiger has won the first two majors of the season once in his career: 2002 at Augusta and Bethpage.
Phil finished runner up at the US Open at Bethpage in 2002 and 2009.

Koepka was somewhat interesting on the Fore Play podcast, maybe I won't hate him as much now.
Feel bad for Phil. The terms "number two" and/or "runner-up" pretty much summarizes his whole career to this point

Nah Phil’s still known more as a best man. He’s never spent a day at number one, has the most second place finishes at majors besides Jack, never won the US Open despite finishing second place there six different times (!!!!), never won an annual individual award (finished second/third a lot tho) and never won a FedEx Cup (despite finishing second place twice before I beleive). Although he’s picked off a few majors later on in his career, he’s finished second on many more occasions and overall, he’s always been more known for his longevity than being a dominant golfer.
Phil seems like a cool dude and I like watching him play, but his ability to go in for the kill has and will always be a question mark.
Also, doesn’t he have the record for most weeks at number two as well?

I can just see Rahm having a four stroke lead on the B9 on Sunday, only to double 15 then have a meltdown and finish in second.

cheers, fair enough
he does have 5 major wins where no one else who's career started after 1990 has more than him
2nd to Tiger in this era is still pretty darn good
Oh yea he’s a darn good golfer there’s no question about that. Being the second best golfer in his generation (the 2000s) is a very impressive feat, although I still think he could’ve won more given how many times he’s put himself in position to do so just to fall short

MI retired Nick Saban
Daly calls cart a disadvantage for hilly Bethpage
"Tiger Woods did not sound sympathetic Tuesday when asked about Daly. "As far as J.D. taking a cart, I walked with a broken leg, so," Woods said, referring to his 2008 U.S. Open win."
Daly is given an advantage, then whines about it. Tiger gives the appropriate response.

Is there typically no morning TV coverage Thursday and Friday for the PGA? I know there never is for the Masters but don’t really recall that for any of the other 3 majors
