There are numerous things about Koepke's personality/demeanor which keep me from being a fan. However, I will give him a "pass" over his paranoia regarding his still-recovering-knee. Been there.

    Spuzz I read BDC said something like "not if you hit the right line" in regards to his putting issues.

    Correct that's what I heard but didn't know for sure. But Bryson has to use a arm lock putter as his crutch. At least Koepka is taking a stroke with his hands on the putter. ☺ Both of them are edgy douche bag types. Add in Patrick Reed and you could have a tense irritable Ryder Cup team.

        I agree. Stricker will need to do his best Phil Jackson coaching with a team like that. Or he could bring Tom Watson in as an assistant and just light that potential dumpster fire up! 🤣

          They should put gloves on and let them go at it. Raise money for charity 😃

            Stu1961 I appreciate that he's candid. I think people cry out for more of that, until its not to their liking. Likely wouldn't get the reaction we did when BD walked by if he were not so candid....and look at Todd Lewis's reaction. That stuff is golden! At least he's not giving a canned answer. He's rightfully sensitive about his knee and I'm not faulting him for sounding like a whiner as a result. IMO not much in it.

            Re the Ryder Cup.....if things are going good and guys are playing well I see no issues, but if things start going sideways it might be tough for the captain to right the ship. And what about Phil as a pick? I'm in on it as long as he does not stink it up prior to the picks being made!

                When it comes to BD, I think it's more than his just being candid. It feels passive aggressive. It seems, at least to me, their spat coincided with Bryson's transformation. Prior to that Brooks was the reigning face-of-fitness on the PGA. Workout routines, diet, shirtless photo sessions, etc .... Brooks comes off, at least to me (I keep saying that🤪), as a classic case of a challenged Alpha male.

                    azgreg Ok. I change my mind from the initial thread after hearing that video clip, lol

                      Spuzz scotts33 Bryson made some comment

                      I read BDC said something like "not if you hit the right line" in regards to his putting issues.

                      Well I think BDC comment covers everyone and their putting woes including his own. They all play the same course... Brooks complaining like he was the only one out there as usual

                        I don't like him. He comes off as extremely conceited.

                        I think they are both douches in their own ways. Would love to see them enter the Thunderdome.
                        In the mean time, I do enjoy watching both of them golf. So there's that.

                          Ok, did anyone see the Brooksie video Koepka posted? He was basically giving away beer (sort of Michelob) to the fans that were kicked out of the Memorial for shouting "Brooksie" at Dechambeau.
