I doubt if there is anyone on this forum who could beat me at a tough course. 

let's go, here's a tough course - but I warn you, I trained for one of these about 3 years ago and I'm pretty wiry.  And I don't see people staring because usually my vision is clouded over from fatigue and dehydration. It's a skill I've spent a decade mastering that few can equal.

I'm in very good shape for my age.  I doubt there is anyone else in their mid 40's with washboard abs like me.  I do a regular routine of ab exercises at the gym.  I wear a form-fitting Nike shirt that accentuates my physique.  

Of course, being physically fit has helped me win numerous golf tournaments and accolades.  People call me "Champ" at my club.  

I just feel that Dustin kind of gave it up at the end.  He could have won.

If only he had an icy cold stare.

Forget the stupid range. I'm going to work on my stare in the mirror this evening. Those guys won't know what hit them tomorrow.

Even if I'm down 3 holes you aren't in the clear.  I bear down, put on the icy stair and there are few men who do not fall apart. 

Those icy stairs will get ya every time.

Whether it be stairs or stare...the effect is the same....it makes people slip and fall. 

There is nothing more satisfying than being 2 or 3 down in match play and then coming back and beating your opponent.  One of my most amazing victories happened in a similar fashion.  I was 3 down to William Tornquist heading into the 15th hole...a devilish 200 yarder over a large hourglass-shaped lake.  Willy hit his shot to the top portion of the green whilst the flag was in front.  He gave a little fist pump and smirked at me.  I gave him my icy stare and he looked a little shell shocked.  I then proceeded to hit one of my best shots of the day, 10 feet from the hole.  William 2-putted but I knocked mine in.  

On the next tee, William said to me "nice shot, Champ".   I simply gave him a receptive nod.  I beat him the rest of the way in and won my 4th club championship.  

William has never been the same after that match.  He finds it hard to even sit at the same table.  He knows I own him.

Does anyone else get the eerie feeling that Donald Trump has joined this thread?

I'm simply sharing some of my golf achievements and great matches over the years.  In some ways my accomplishment of winning 5 club championships is greater than Koepka.   Sure, he's won 4 majors but all at different courses.

This William Tornquist keeps turning up in your dialogues.  Would you be so kind to supply his email address and/or telephone number so we can verify your veracity?

Did you win your club championships using PlayStation or XBox?

I don't appreciate that.  I've contributed to very few threads on this fine forum.  The first was about the benefits of Ping Eye 2 irons and now I'm talking about the PGA Championship.  I fail to see how that is disingenuous.  I'm a Club Champion and once played to a scratch.  I doubt if there is anyone on this forum who could beat me at a tough course.  

I have to warn you, though.  I'm a player.  Even if I'm down 3 holes you aren't in the clear.  I bear down, put on the icy stair and there are few men who do not fall apart. 

I hate walking on the icy stair.

It'll be nice to get the course back for the public to play. The pickings around the area aren't all that great. The public ones.

And I'm not counting out any surprises where the construction messed up any of the courses.

As a 5-time club champion, I understand what it takes to win.  Yes, you can absolutely give it away even if you are not in the lead.  Dustin had the momentum and was closing in on Koepka, who's balls were in his throat.  All Dustin had to do is avoid bogey and he would have won.  I know this to be true. 

I see things in the game that others do not.  Our head greenskeeper is named Tiny.  He's anything but Tiny.  He's probably 450 lbs on a good day.  Nevertheless, Tiny has always said to me "Champ, I notice that you play a different game.  What's your secret?".   

I reply "Tiny, it's the ice cold stare".   

 

Brooks was clearly lucky you weren’t in the field last week, champ.

Surely he would have withered under the icy stair...….or stare.

Did you win 2 more since September?

Ignore the obvious off topic troll guys.

It was from the AP.  Ten years ago or so, on the old Golf Channel board, I used to get into arguments with a guy called Robo about Doug Ferguson, the chief golf reporter for the AP.  Robo was evidently a friend of his, and took it personally when I would complain that Ferguson got his stats wrong in almost every article.  No excuse for that with somebody having the resources of the AP to back him.  I don't think Ferguson wrote this one, but it looks like the AP is still very sloppy on its stats.

At virtually every PGA Tour event, they're given record books and facts sheets, etc. They often don't need to use the resources of the AP, they just use those sheets and books. For example at the Memorial the "history" fact book for the Memorial alone is a few hundred pages.
