I assume Brooks knows that woman.

I don't think he'd complain if he didn't.

So... that was Finau's fourth shot from the bunker?  What happened with his third?

Bleeding strokes, cash, and OWGR points on the last hole.

i blame ChrisP   ^^^^^^  a few comments above, for jinxing him..........   but ya if that ball takes a bad hop or ends up in the stands...... that would be just bad luck

Nah. It’s me.  I picked him in Fantasy Golf and usually I’m a jinx.

Kudos to Brooks....and the USGA....credit due for today 

[Shorty]

Pretty amazing that the first 5 were a shot apart after everyone was bunched up early on. You'd expect some ties somewhere in that group of 5.

I called it on Friday, I guess.  Glad to see Koepka win again!  USGA watered too much last night.  I wish they had kept the greens a bit runnier.

The answers aren't obvious to you?

No, I seem to be dense on some matters.

Brooks Koepka proves, once again, that he just doesn't have what it takes.  If a skinny, hippy dude, from Lancashire, drops a couple more putts...over four days...we aren't having this conversation.  Golf doesn't have heroes anymore...only the guys who lived to tell about it.  If I were not so busy drinking, and watching television, I could show these young whelps a thing or two.

The most entertaining golf tournament I’ve seen in a loooong time!

Congratulations Brooks!

If DJ wasn't the worst putter then the tourney would've been over long time ago.

Reminiscent of Chamber's Bay.

Didn’t he blow them away on the first two rounds because of his putting?

Just watched the post tournament interview with Tommy Fleetwood.  What a great kid and attitude...becoming a fan.

If Tiger had shot even and Rory even there would've been a playoff!

Could've, should've, didn't.

Yes. Quite  a contrast between him and the morons at the course yelling out all the time. One of the people the event is actually about is also the most humble and introspective.

[Hardspoon]

This is kind of neat...each of the top 9 finishers had a final score (over par) that was equivalent to their finishing position:

 

 

[Archie Bunker]

Great tournament. Had me watching to the end. Congratulations Brooks (again!)

To me, it looked like Dustin and Brooks had a police escort close by on every hole. Anybody else notice this? There were cops on all sides. No other group had this going on. Anyone know the reason?
