Indeed. The Einsteins who gave us 'Get in the hole' (shouted off the tee on a par 5) and 'Mashed Potato'.:rolleyes:

I didn't think it was possible that a player could get to double figures under par on this course over the four days. Brooks is one away from that after 20 holes. He is just an awful incredible golfer, he looks like getting to four majors this weekend and he is still not fully respected for how good he is.

I think its more to do with his attitude towards majors in comparison to the rest of the field.

They're all thinking about the history, the prestige etc and he doesnt seem to give a $hite.

I think some idiot is shouting "SPAGHETTI IN THE HOLE" every time Molinari is putting

...and "MEATBALLS" when he hits his tee shots

He certainly cares a lot. You can see for mist if the season that he is only going to get really serious about things around major time.

Apparently not:

The ‘mashed potato’ shout was made famous by golf fan Andrew Widmar, who was identified by The Golf Channel as the man behind the epic outburst at the Chevron World Championship in 2011. Tiger Woods had played his tee shot on the 18th and Widmar unleashed his ode to the carby side dish for the world to hear,

I heard that.....made me chuckle a wee bit

Deeper Blue

Tiger has been terrible with the driver and looks rusty in general, no surprise given he hasn't played since Augusta and barely practiced this week. What did he expect I suppose

SuprSi

Wow, Brooks playing like this is like Tiger in his pomp. Big drive into the middle of the fairway, short Iron close to the hole, sink the putt. It's just incredible golf.

On this form nobody will get anywhere close to him.

Deeper Blue

This is an exhibition

Just give him the trophy

Rikand

The battle for second place is really heating up!

SuprSi

He high 5's the crowd between every hole - one of the guys I play golf with every Saturday said he's got a man-crush on Brooks, I can see why!!

SuprSi

His yardages, in case anyone missed this;

eagle eye

It's a truly great 36 holes when you have the biggest lead in major history. It's exceptional when you've the lowest 36 hole total in major championship history. It's sensational when you accomplish this at Bethpage Black.

You can add me to the list who have a man crush on. Brooks Koepka. The best and the coolest golfer out there.

Thought it’s been actually quite good and a lot fewer ad breaks

I always record or pause and leave about 30 mins at least to play with. Makes it lot more watchable

Deeper Blue

The American TV companies will be delighted, Tiger misses the cut and Brooks leading by 7 :pac:

To clarify I'm a huge Brooks fan and have been for years. Gets nowhere near the credit he deserves although you feel he will after this week.

vienne86

Fair play to both Rory and Shane for making the cut.

Blinky Plebum

Koepka is great to watch.So calm and composed never seems flustered.Some of his drives and approach shots yesterday were incredible if his putter had been hot who knows what sort of score he'd be on at the moment.It seemed on every hole yesterday he produced one mind blowing shot.

I hope he goes on and blows away the rest of the field and sets all sorts of records this weekend as if he does that I think he might finally get the wider recognition he deserves and increase his fanbase as I think there was degree of indifference to him up to now but looking at this week it seems the fans re beginning to really take to him.

I see that 82 players have made the cut. In regular events, there's a 3rd round cut if more than 78 players make it through the half way cut.

Am I right in thinking that this doesn't apply in Majors?

Correct they never have that rule in the majors

Beemer shoots an 82 today, I'd say he might have had a few celebratory scoops last night.

Or he’s just bo**oxed

Mushy

As if proof was needed he'd crush the field, shotracker was deceived into looking like first tee shot was rough bound. Straight onto the fairway past it, almost tap in birdie now

Mushy

Or not.

Made up for it on the second.

Another cracking tee shot at the third.
