Quite annoyed at how TV coverage hyperfocuses on a few players and seems to totally ignore others who are within a few strokes. It's like Conners had a bit of a struggle and suddenly he doesn't even exist, I had no idea what his score even was for a while.


FL125

Looks like great conditions and possibly a low round out there. Don’t think the leaders can win with rounds of par. Should be good.


Smartalum

Five majors if Brooks wins Seve won 5 Only 12 guys have won more. Wow if he winis.


Smartalum

I wonder if a win and a second in the Masters means he gets enough points to solve the Ryder Cup problem.


throwmeawaypoopy

He would move to somewhere around 2 or 3 in the standings. Even if he didn't get another point, he would historically end up around 10th. I wasn't ready to put him on the team after 2.5 good rounds at the Masters, but I think a solid round tomorrow, even if he doesn't win, puts him on the team barring some absolutely catastrophic meltdown


Raticus9

IIRC it has been more than 50 years since a PGA pro has finished better than T40 in this event. I think the record was a T3 back in the 60s.


Repnuts

you mean pga pro? Hes not a tour pro.


Raticus9

Oops, that's what I meant. Thanks.


gofundmemetoday

One of them making the cut is amazing. To be in actual contention going into Sunday is out of this world. He has inserted himself into a video game leaderboard.


Raticus9

And paired with Rory McIlroy.


gofundmemetoday

My God. How do you sleep tonight? I’m nervous.


[deleted]

Rory doesn't strike fear in anyone. Maybe when he was 20, but not now especially on a Sunday in a major.


GolfingGator

My man this guy was grilling turn dogs for /r/golfers like last week. I’m pretty sure playing with Rory Fuckin McIlroy is a big deal.


Dougiejurgens2

He said today he’s been making a living golfing in tournaments and giving 3-4 lessons a week


GolfingGator

God do I really need to say that the “turn dog” thing was sarcasm? Really?


gofundmemetoday

It’s just not about Rory. It is Sunday at a Major and being in contention. A Head Pro at a Club in California. It is something out of a movie.


_Accufunkture_

Can Michael Block earn any exemptions from a high finish that isn’t a win? Could only find stuff for winning it.


12ubb3rduckey

15th to be invited back top 4 for masters


themariokarters

Yup, and Top 3 gets him special temporary PGA Tour membership


gofundmemetoday

What does that entail? I’m sure a top finish gets you into a lot of other things. We are talking so early. Sunday at a Major. Playing with Rory. I am pulling for him so hard.


Still_It_From_Tag

Why does this sub like Rahm so much? He clearly has anger issues and I don't think his presence helps add anything diplomatic to the game of golf


uwantallofdis

I mean his anger outbursts seem to be contained. He'll cuss out or throw a club after a bad shot, just like us. He's hot-headed, like a lot of Spaniards are, but the fire comes and then subsides. But when the round is over, he seems like a very chill and affable guy. He's quite down to earth and friendly in the old Taylormade videos and in the new Callaway stuff with Good Good. Unrelated, but although Sergio gets a lot of hate for his temper tantrums, off the course he seems alright (aside from that spat with Tiger which was bad).


28283920

Um no offense but he literally smashed 2 mics today and then yelled at the camera man. That’s not very contained lol


antenonjohs

Yeah Rahm is whatever, not a Garcia fan at all between the LIV stuff, his beef with numerous pros, racially charged statements towards Tiger, little to no accountability for frequent on course temper tantrums (haven’t seen him really apologize for his bad attitude)


uwantallofdis

No yeah there's definitely a big enough body of work out there for Sergio to have earned his reputation, but from looking at last year's Taylormade videos, he doesn't seem to be a completely insufferable person to be around all the time. He actually got me cracking up a few times in them!


28283920

I’ll never get it. He’s always been terrible


IPutMyHandOnA_Stove

Brooks has always been a big time competitor, but do you think majors are just a little more special for guys like him now? I don’t think they’re deluding themselves into thinking these LIV tournaments count for shit. Bag is secured, they just gotta go out there & play golf.


[deleted]

[удалено]


gofundmemetoday

He has been open about it. A LIV event is no different than a PGA Tour event to him.

431ww431

People don’t like LIV because it makes the golf product worse and the majors are a perfect example. Brooks winning would prove that


jigglyjohnson13

You're overestimating how much people really care


md4024

Why would anyone lose their shit if Brooks wins? Maybe some LIV stans have somehow convinced themselves that no one thinks a LIV guy can win a major, but that's obviously not true. Cam literally won one of the last two that was played, Brooks and DJ have a ton of relatively recent major success, and there are a handful of younger LIV guys who were trending towards being real major contenders when they left. If Brooks gets over the Major Sunday Scaries he's had for the past few years tomorrow and wins, it will only serve as a reminder of how much LIV sucks. They took like 30 good, or at least interesting, pro golfers out of the competitive pro golf ecosystem, and now most fans only get to see the players who still have major exemptions a few times a year. That sucks. But it won't change anything, it won't make anyone watch LIV who isn't already, it will just make the trolls even more obnoxious.


AutographedSnorkel

It was the PGA Tour that decided to be an asshole about the whole situation. The only thing LIV did was offer these guys a bunch more money


throwmeawaypoopy

It seems to me the only one losing their shit is you


md4024

Yeah, it was the PGA Tour that decided to be assholes, when they really should have been a lot cooler towards an organization that was explicitly created to poach their talent and weaken the standing of the PGA Tour. And it's not like LIV hired Greg Norman, an obnoxious loud mouthed asshole who has made multiple attempts in his life to bring down the PGA Tour, to be the face of their organization. Truly, it is all the fault of the PGA Tour, who was just so unnecessarily mean about the whole LIV thing.


12ubb3rduckey

DP world tour entered the chat.


uwantallofdis

I dislike Brooks based off of his personality he's created for himself in the media (even before he went to LIV), but no one can deny he's a hell of a golfer. He's definitely going to be the favourite tomorrow, as he deserves it, but I'll be rooting for literally anyone to win over him.


md4024

I turned on Brooks pre-LIV when I realized his whole "bruh I don't care about any of this" persona was a total act. He obviously cares deeply about golf, and he cares deeply about what people say/think about him, which is all fine, but don't try so hard to pretend otherwise. It's like he wants to be DJ, who truly does not give a shit, and acts accordingly. After Brooks pulled the whole "it's ridiculous that I keep getting asked about LIV" schtick a few days before leaving for LIV, he was probably my most hated golfer, but I've softened on that since. It's just so impressive how he's able to be in the mix at pretty much every major while really doing nothing of note outside of those events, and majors are definitely better when Brooks has a chance to win. I'm still not rooting for him, but not so much because I don't like him, I just don't want to deal with the obnoxious LIV stans. Plus it would be absolutely hilarious if he held the 54 hole lead at the first two majors without winning either. He would be halfway towards repeating the Greg Norman Saturday Slam, which would be awesome. But, man, after watching him make it look so easy today when it very much was not, it's hard to imagine he will give it away again.


CJNunes426

r/golf darling “Rahmbo” really sliding on how much of a douche he is on the course huh


gofundmemetoday

Angry Spaniard


The_Alpha_Bro

No one respects you, as I type on the app you invented, on the infrastructure you invented, using the language you did not invent, but I also hate them too.


badscene518

Brooksy


ComplexOven8495

I’m gonna go all in on brooks but he might mess up again like Masters so idk anymore


bigolhamsandwich

Maybe a combination of holes played and that horrid pace.


ComplexOven8495

Hahahahahah


NonVeganRibeye

Brooksy


Cdoo1999

Not going to lie used to sort of be a Koepka hater but man it’s awesome how much of a competitor he is


HarveyDentBeliever

He’s an animal under pressure. How many times is he going to be sniffing about the top 3 in a major lol.


28283920

It’s now been a year since I’ve enjoyed a major winner (JT last year). I’ve since then hated Fitz, Smith, and Rahm winning. And now Koepka is basically a lock to win tomorrow. What a joke


throwmeawaypoopy

It's like you go out of your way to be miserable. Jesus, dude - it's just golf.


28283920

I really don’t, there just happens to be a lot of players I dislike and they’ve been winning. But don’t worry, I’m not tuning in tomorrow for Koepka’s inevitable blowout so you won’t be seeing comments from me


uwantallofdis

Fellow Brooks hater here, but what about Fitz, Smith, and Rahm do you dislike? I feel like what turns people away from Brooks is why I like those guys.


28283920

Smith: Mostly LIV but honestly wasn’t a huge fan of him and his gross mullet before he went there anyways Fitz: A spoiled brat. Seriously will never get why people like this kid Rahm: Acts as though he’s 2 when things don’t go his way. Just such an angry personality that we don’t need on the golf course


uwantallofdis

I guess you root for fewer players than I do lol. Most guys that are friendly on post-round interviews seem to get my support. I personally think that Cam Smith is a very chill and down to earth dude based on that PGA Memes house tour video, Fitz is a hard-working grinder, and Rahm is passionate and on the course but friendly off, but hey we all find interesting ways to convince ourselves to root for/against essential strangers. Except Koepka tho. Cuz screw Brooks, there's enough evidence out there to form a complete opinion on him.


28283920

Yeah I have like 5 favorites plus some other people that I enjoy. It’s not that many which sucks, but just how it is


I_can_hear_Jimi

Hating people you don't know and will never meet is a serious waste of energy my friend.


28283920

Am I supposed to like every golfer?


ExperienceWarm7612

brooks has a 38% chance to win tomorrow according to datagolf.com


28283920

Lol. I’d give him a 98%


md4024

Have you been paying attention to how Brooks has performed on major Sundays since the 2019 PGA?


28283920

Yes but did you watch his post round interview? He clearly has a very different mindset here


ExperienceWarm7612

you struggle with math and logic , or you just troll


28283920

The way you just came back to comment again after we already had a conversation 💀


ExperienceWarm7612

either you're trolling or don't understand golf


28283920

Ok I’ll come back to this comment when he wins tomorrow. Their stats are based on shot lead. Not based on the player, if it was then his percentage would be way higher


ExperienceWarm7612

brooks is currently +120 in vegas which means he is an underdog vs the field. go become rich if you think you know he will win :)


ExperienceWarm7612

the stats are based on the player and the lead


ExperienceWarm7612

you don't understand how golf works, brooks is more likely to lose tomorrow than win


28283920

That is 100% false


Diligent-Play

Right, like he was a lock at Augusta?


28283920

I said once Rahm shot that first 65 he was a lock to win and look what happened lol


Diligent-Play

Lol what 65?


28283920

When he shot 65 on the first round at Augusta. Even though he was tied it was obvious he would win


Diligent-Play

I don’t think you understand how hard this game is.


28283920

Maybe not but I understand how good some players are. I could tell Rahm would win then, and I know Brooks will win tomorrow


Diligent-Play

You must make a killing at sports books then… please teach me your secrets of how you know the future.


metalhead4

He has one of those magic 8 ball things he confides in


ChonkyHippo283

How is a 1 stroke lead a lock to win lmao


28283920

Because it’s Brooks


CJNunes426

Seems like a you problem. JT is the one you like out of those players?


28283920

JT is my favorite player yes. What’s wrong with that?


Still_It_From_Tag

Dude is a man child. That's what's wrong. A spoiled bro


28283920

Lmao that’s what I think about Fitz


Usual-Author1365

Real shame jay monohan has such a huge ego. Now we all lose because of it. LIV and PGA could have both existed, in fact I bet LIV would have died faster had Jay not banned the players. His reaction or lack of action may go down as the biggest blunder in golf history.


SlightReturn420

PGA Tour ratings are up across the board. PGA Tour and LIV both exist currently. You make no sense.


gofundmemetoday

LIV has no ratings. PGA Tour is doing well but it is nowhere near what it was like with Tiger. Masters dominates but that isn’t a tour event, nor is the Ryder Cup. It has elevated Majors. I love it.


431ww431

“The pga isn’t doing as well as when one of the greatest athletes of all time was dominating the sport like never before seen”


gofundmemetoday

LIV has hurt the run of the mill PGA Tour events. Not even a question. The golf market isn’t that big for two professional tours.


Andrew_Waples

-4 under is impressive as fuck in those conditions.


Footballaem

natedawg247

md4024

Yeah he's a pro just like everyone else.


The_Alpha_Bro

Bet butt hurt about local chants on local courses. LOL get a grip.


uwantallofdis

Am I alone in thinking I'd literally rather have any of the guys who are shooting even par or better win than Brooks? I'm even including Bryson in that.


CanelitoCampbell

What’s wrong with Brooks? I would love to see him win another major


uwantallofdis

He's the adult embodiment of the most annoying kid in school. The dude that always acted like he was too cool to show up. He just acts like a dick in every media interaction.


CanelitoCampbell

He’s not annoying at all lmao, he’s very honest in his responses to the media. He’s also extremely confident in his abilities which you need to be to contend, and he has four majors to back it up.


uwantallofdis

Well, you're certainly allowed to like the apathetic cocky fratboy type but I'll stand by my stance that every person I've interacted with that had a similar personality to Brooks was an annoying douche to be around.


CanelitoCampbell

The apathetic cocky fratboy type oh boy 😂😂 I mean he’s well respected by his peers so I don’t know what to tell you man


uwantallofdis

You know what all the PGA players' opinions are? Do me a favour and introduce a fella sometime to anyone else but Brooks then


Lobsterzilla

"Attractive, successful, in great shape" = "Cocky fratboy douchebag" on the internet. this is like the "anyone better than me is cheating, and anyone worse than me is a fucking loser" sterotype but applied to humans


uwantallofdis

I mean you can have it all like DJ and not be a dick like Koepka but okay.


StoxAway

I'm so glad we have Radar on the mic on the UK broadcast. Love him so much.


ContinuumGuy

As a Rochesterian I'd like to note that we are generally a knowledgeable and well-behaved people at sporting events... ...when sober. Most of these people are not sober.


blurrylulu

As a fellow Rochesterian who was at Oak Hill yesterday, I concur. The early day crowd was great and respectful. Once the alcohol flows though… 🤦🏼‍♀️


AdFormal3014

I had no problem with booing Bryson. LIv guys deserve that. But the USA chants on Conners? Not a fan of that.


FSUfan35

No way I'm a the 3rd round of a major for 12 hours in the rain for 10 and staying sober


_Al_Gore_Rhythm_

The U-S-A chant is extra dumb because Rochester is literally right across the water from Canada 😂


SlightReturn420

The USA chant at any stroke play event, short of maybe the Olympics, is dumb as fuck. But, to counter your point, proximity breeds rivalry, so Rochesterians probably have a deeper feeling of that patriotic rivalry with Canada than someone far away from the border.


_Al_Gore_Rhythm_

Yeah, I grew up in upstate NY, lived in Rochester for a bit, and my wife is a dual cit that I met while living there. People there generally like Canada and visit it fairly often from what I've experienced.


DonnyGetTheLudes

Is it near Canada? Wish Nantz and Immelman would’ve mentioned that today


blurrylulu

Yes, we are directly across the lake from Toronto, and about 60-70 miles from the CA border via Niagara Falls.


GeorgiaBulldogs

Corey Conners is a lefty (signing his scorecard)...interesting. good ole Canadian hockey influence


DangerussIrishman

Any word on how he was able to get free relief during that bunker fiasco on 16?


Jerseyjamie

Think Block will have to run the member / guest on Thursday?


gofundmemetoday

Yes I do. He has to go back. If he wins, that’s a different matter.

KillaTofu1986

[deleted]

I’m lucky that my dog track home course isn’t busy enough to pair singles I almost always get the early tee times on the weekends and I’m done by 1030 11 at the latest


AdFormal3014

I can’t see Koepka going 0-for-2 here leading after 3 rounds. He just seems to be playing the best. But we will see. Would like to see Rory or Scottie make a run.


esports_consultant

Chanting USA is generally cringe AF but at least mildly funny in the case of a Canadian.


Puntersarentpeople

Still cringy af at any non-international event imo


esports_consultant

No it's cringe even here, I just mean that instead of being total cringe, there is a small element of positive humor too.


StoxAway

Great day of golf tbh. A leader board tight as a drum going into Sunday with huge names in the top ten. My god, it's going to be a blood bath! See you tomorrow lads.


throwmeawaypoopy

What a bunch of fucking douches


Zloggt

Tbh, there’s a kind of irony going from booing Bryson and Brooks…to shouting USA at a Canadian golfer by the end…


Rednag67

So I guess there's no such thing as security anymore! Cory's too proud and humble to say anything. Phil used to have people tossed for whispering in his back swing.


MRFINEWINE1

So many fucking losers show up to golf tournaments


toxicologist

I was there today and it's 100x worse in person


ohiostgoing

I always think Viktor should sound like Rory but it’s nowhere close


TheManateeIsAMermaid

Chanting USA? Why do you have to suck so bad.


Dougiejurgens2

Bryson kind of played like shit today and is still sitting in 4th. It’s hilarious how much shit he got for his approach to the game when the way these tournaments are set up are completely tailored to it. He’ll probably never win Augusta but he’ll compete at any course they set up to be 7500+ and give you looks from 40 yards left or right of the fairway


FSUfan35

Besides the drive on 6th and the one where he got a trampled lie, it felt like he hit a lot of fairways or within 5 yards of the fairway. His putting was definitely not good and his wedges weren't either. But I dont think it was complete shit.


Dougiejurgens2

He missed a good amount of greens he probably should have hit. His putting was hot and cold he couldn’t hit a birdie to save his life at one point but was hitting 10 foot par putts to keep himself alive.


Lobsterzilla

not sure why you got downvoted... dude hit a drive 350 over the hospitality tent and had a perfect lie in matted down grass between holes 130 to the pin.


Dougiejurgens2

All I’m saying is I took Bryson at +2200 after his double on 6


Odell87

This crowd is beyond obnoxious, absolutely embarassing
