    Walked 18 today. First time playing this year, first time walking in ages. It’s tiring. Was a glorious morning. My game, not so much. Didn’t bother adding up the score

    Nothing worse than a runaway, wire to wire victory with zero drama...unless it’s Tiger, of course.

    Distance is being rewarded over any other part of the game.  It is ridiculous.  Instead of requiring shot shaping and making, they "fix" the distance problem by making holes longer which only increases the advantage of the big hitters.  It is insane.

    Persimmon drivers and balata golf balls. Needs to happen.

    The fittest and strongest are still going to rise to the top, but perhaps Zach Johnson may have more of a chance.

    Change of the guard today?  Tiger handing things over to Brooks?

    Koepka: "This probably sounds bad, but it was a battle," said Koepka. "I didn't strike the ball that well. I was leaking a few to the right but I hung in there and battled."

    Dude just set the major record for 36 holes and he's saying he needs to work on his game. C'mon man, even the ones you leaked were dropping onto the fairway.

    How do you figure?  Other than the master's victory Tiger has bee irrelevant for quite a while?  And it appears he is back to irrelevant.

    They were in the same group.  Tiger is in the last stretch of his career and Brooks is going to win his 4th major out of the last 8 in Young Tiger fashion.   

    No no one was dominant while Tiger was injured.  Brooks is the first to actually show signs (in majors only) of dominance.

    Tiger is not irrelevant.  Not sure if you were being sarcastic.  In the space of a year he made it to top ten in the world, one major, had the best cumulative score to par in the three majors approaching the PGA, won the Tour Championship,  and finished second in the FedEx Cup.

    It’s funny that Brooks is so good. He’s a meat head. Dude looks like a linebacker. I know all these guys are in excellent shape and the training regimens are off the charts, but he’s bulky. Not your typical golfer’s physique.

    I guess we have to wait and see. I think it's way too early to make that assumption. Longevity is everything. Spieth, Rory, Day, Johnson...there have been times in recent years when you think, nobody is going to beat these guys. But sustaining that level of play over a lengthy period of time has become something only a handful of golfers have done in the history of the game.

    Could prove to be his achilles heel in the future.
