What they should do is not let the course dry out so much, at least the fairways.  Soften the fairways, let them grow a bit long (as far as pga tour events go) and then let the greens dry out.  The pr

He has to hole that bunker shot, birdie 17 & eagle 18. Or 3 under on the last 3 ties Hideki. Back totally against the wall now.

Even if it's a playoff involving Matsuyama... he's shot the round of the day on Friday and very likely today also.  

Rickie nearly holes his bunker shot... but something something horseshoes and hand grenades.

Koepka's birdie closed out Rickie. And I think it also won him the Open.

I don't think Fowler has really been in it even when 2 behind. Very muted and no energy. In fact the same could be said for the final round as a whole-humdrum and no drama.

I agree, was just saying 'mathematically' he was in it. Until Koepka birdied 15...and now 16!

Game ovah. Congrats to Brooks for going out & taking it.

He's building up a cushion in case the USGA, in a surprising ruling, orders him to allow me to play the last two holes on his behalf.

I honestly never thought ANYONE would get 4 shots clear...not how that leaderboard looked at the beginning of the day. Amazing performance.

Koepka gonna be a hot commodity now with a major. Guy has the look, he has the game. Game is looking for some faces right now with some of the top names struggling a bit. Gonna be one of the more popular guys now. I'm hoping the Bucs can steal him away from the golf course. Guy looks like he can be a linebacker.

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      By boogielicious · Posted

      The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
