That was awesome. Can't believe someone outplayed and was more aggressive today than Koepka.

Usually there's one defining shot to win a tournament. Gary had two amazing ones today.

Gary Woodland basically Koepka'd Brooks Koepka. Late in the round, he was my choice because it became basically a two man race....and I am a bit tired of BK.

I can't recall if I ever noticed a really bad camera angle before but I sure did notice it on the drive of Koepka's on 18.

Remember Rory's drive on 18 at the Players with the water on the left. 18 is an beautiful hole.
Now check out this perfect camera angle for this shot.



This is the angle that fox gave us for Kopka's drive on 18...(not the actual shot)
Now you could give thew a pass on this until you see the 18th hole at pebble

To shows Koepka's drive like that on a hole like this is ridiculous.

Shut the fuck up people.

If you are talking about the crowd - excuse me gallery - at the venue - agree. Last week on Golf Channel they showed a replay of the 2000 US Open where Tiger won. Same exact venue as this one yet the crowd was completely different.

During that entire 2000 rd I only heard 1 or 2 instances of someone saying "Get in the Hole" & never heard any other chants (e.g. "Baba Boey"). The entire crowd was pretty much totally silent even shortly after each shot, Obviously you didn't have people taking pictures via cell phones so that wasn't a factor.

I just don't understand the motivation of some of these idiots in the crowd. Are they just totally drunk, idiotic or just dying to have someone hear their voice on TV? The worst was over the weekend while a player (forgot who) was trying to read his putt & someone yelled at "It is not as straight as it looks". WTF?

Great weekend of golf that came down to the last hole. Congrats to Woodland - his mental toughness was very impressive.

Visually the broadcast has been outstanding. Obviously I've seen many events held there over the years but it's never been nearly this impressive. Probably a combination of improved technology and many more cameras due to it being a major. My wife even watched with me for several hours last night, primarily because of that, and she never watches golf.

But I'm with the others on Buck & Zinger. Zinger comes up with an insightful observation every once in awhlie, but they're few and far between and Buck should just be banned from working anything but baseball. It seems like they got the setup right. It's tough enough that they pay a price for missing fairways and greens, but they didn't go crazy and turn the greens to glass. I hate when they do that to "protect par".

Fox/USGA...They're improving...the camera work especially. the announcing team doesn't bother me as much as others, but what little audio I did listen to...Buck is not a natural at golf and Zinger's content is not bad imo, but delivery is just so blah. Not every lead sports guy is going to be good at sport, and that's the case here. Nantz is probably the best. Personnel wise they need to keep working on that.

USGA setup...They basically grew the rough and got out of the way. The weather helped keep the greens receptive imo...-13 won it which could make some in Far Hills, NJ uncomfortable, but they need to get over it. In this era of reducing par 5 holes, kudos to them for keeping it a par 71.

Final round...With Rory, Rose, and Koepka, all top level players in the hunt on a course that was 6800 yds and giving up 66-67. I was expecting some fireworks early on the easier holes but Rose/Rory both shoot over par, and Koepka did create a little drama early, but getting a little wild off the tee seal his fate...the one par save from the junk was awesome...maybe more luck than skill since the approach was blind but an all world par. It eventually caught up with him on 14....par there and Woodland making birdie on it gave him slightly more cushion.

Actually I thought the birdie/no birdie from Koepka on 14 turned it firmly back in Woodland's favor, and the final dagger was the pitch from the green on 17 to gimme range...18 he had a 2 shot lead...just don't put it in the ocean and it was his.

I was disappointed in Rory and Rose's play Sunday.

It's was just a stupid move by Rory to have his best friend as his caddie.

You be the judge ...does this kid look like he could tell you all of the breaks in any green at Pebble with his eyes closed?
Rory looked like he was long on a lot of approach shots ...and that is Rory's fault. His best friend is never going to stand up to Rory when they disagree. A vet would have know to hammer home the idea that playing beneath the hole is the right play on a lot of holes at pebble.

Rory needs an old grizzled veteran caddie who isn't afraid to put the screws to Rory right before he does something stupid.

He should've signed Steve Williams.

Currently working for Jason Day who might not be physically capable of being the same player he was just 2 yrs ago. His back is not in the greastest of shape.
