It’s not like golf is the player vs player and one of them can step up the level of intensity as they battle the other guy. They may not even be in the same tee time wave. It’s eaxh guy against the course.

 

First time major winners especially someone like Rickie is good for golf.

It would be nice seeing Dustin Thomas win. But I thought he already won a PGA? Personally I’m pulling for Bill Mickelson and we want another Big Cat victory.

My wife calls him Dustin Justin, he's her favorite golfer.. That said I'm rooting for DJ to stop placing second or for Sneds to sneak one in there.

That's kinda how I'm leaning too...don't let it go back to Oracle or there's gonna be serious trouble. Let's hope it's another close one tonight

[PappyVanWinkle53]

You mean you don't want to see Abraham Ancer and Matt Wallace duke it out in the final pairing on Sunday??????

If there is one person I sincerely hope DOESN'T WIN it is that cheapskate Kuchar. I can't stand the guy after his shenanigans as of late.

[orbless]

Would be good to see Justing Harding and Adam Scott with a broomstick dual down the stretch

Ha! As much as I thought he went full db on Tucan, if he can win here, I'll give him an opera clap ; )

You knock it off with the facts in this thread! We all know this is no place for them.

That Gary Woods guy is looking pretty tough going into the weekend. ;-)

Being forced to watch Graeme McDowell this week just because he won the National Championship nine years ago isn’t doing it for anyone??

He only seems to play two rounds these days so I guess a hybrid of DJ and JT makes it better haha.

[Dave230]

You can't win multiple majors unless you win your first. Everybody has to start somewhere who knows Woodland could be like Koepka in the next 5 years after the first one.

[GoGoErky]

Nice to see gw get his first.

[AppAlum]

Congrats to Gary Woodland and the Toronto Raptors!

[tgoodspe1991]

The only reason people want Koepka to win is because he's been dominant as of late. I bet the same people who "don't want first time winners" didn't want Koepka to win that US Open in 2017, right? But now you want him to win because he's gotten it done several times. Golf is full of fair weather fans. Everyone has to start somewhere. I thought Woodland's win was great and he deserved every bit of it. He played the best of anyone out there and has been knocking on the door a long, long time.

 

Woodland, Raptors, Blues, all great victories with people/teams that were definitely underdogs who worked their tails off get it done.

Yup. Tiger and jack had to be first time winners to get to their dominance

[Man_O_War]

I wonder if Woodland can win? Since he's been written off by the likes of cocky Koepka..80% can't win... an 80%ter won

liked him..gotten too cocky... and nothing bothers him..except...everything bothers him. Having said that., 2nd , 1st, 2nd says a lot for his golf game. Lose the attitude though. A few putts here and there he would have 3 majors in a row going for the slam next month.

[Fairways_and_Greens]

I think you mean Justin Johnson. Jeeesh.

I don't think there's anything wrong with that. People want to watch things that are historically great. Whether it's Tiger, or a guy winning 3 consecutive US Opens. I'm happy for Gary but we're guys win consecutive US Opens every 20+ years and actually get themselves in contention even less than that so yes I wanted Koepka to win because it's unlikely we'll see a guy get that chance again. Doesn't mean that Gary's win isn't a great story.
