DJ is only person tomorrow who remotely has a shot at catching Brooks.

Would love to see DJ Jazzy Jeff make a run but don't think its going to happen.

Here's a preview of Harold Varner and Luke List's front nines tomorrow:

Tears of laughter...thanks.

This could get close. There are enough guys at 4 and 5 under that if one or two of them go low, then the lead can quickly be 4 or so, before the back nine. Today, List was at minus 7, playing well, while Koepka was in the rough at minus 12 with about 7 holes to play, but Koepka put it on the green, drained at 20 footer for birdie, and List bogeyed the last two.

When Norman blew the Masters up 6, there weren't as many who could even theoretically threaten on the last day. It is not impossible at all for Koepka to shoot a four over round of 74, and if he does that, he will have a big sweat. Tiger was about 15 to 1 to win the Masters and Koepka is about 1 to 15 heading into tomorrow. It can happen. Same odds. Think of it like this....you have 1,000 balls in a bag. About 930 of them have Koepkas name on them, while the other 70 have other players. Stick your hand in the bag and you are not a lock to draw a Koepka ball.

When LeBron and the Cavs were down 3 to 1 to the Warriors, they were 35 to 1 to come back and win the title.

Remember my post. Odds are good that someone goes low tomorrow, and going low usually means starting out fast. Koepka might only be up 5...maybe even 4... when he hits his first shot.

Brooks Koepka is terrible for Dustin Johnson's legacy. History can only favor one dumb box of rocks bomber. Recall that less than one year ago, Dustin Johnson was cruising in the lead at the U.S. Open, before catching the absolute worst of it with the tee times concerning the weather. The press was talking about the swagger, and domination. Koepka benefited from the draw, and clawed back into contention. At the time, both Koepka and DJ had one major each...both U.S. Opens.

Koepka won, to go up 2 to 1. Then he wins the PGA... 3 to 1 against DJ in majors.....now a 90 percent favorite to go up 4 to 1. So DJ would have to win 4 majors to Koepkas none, to get up one, which he probably would have been with a fair draw at last year's U.S. Open.

Last year's U.S. Open was the slingshot move for Koepka, and the brick wall for DJ. That U.S. Open launched Koepka like the tuck rule launched Tom Brady. With normal weather, DJ appeared to be blowing out the field, but the golf Gods gave it to Koepka.

Fantastic feature on Brooks this morning on Golf Channel's Morning Drive.

If the show is available on demand or rebroadcast, I recommend watching it.

1 hour 17 minutes into the 2-hour-in-length show

"If you're not focused on math or history in the classroom, what are you thinking about?" Brooks' Mom asks.

Brooks, "I'm imagining ball flight, how to move a ball in the air."

Sorting by majors in golf is dumb. For the most part they aren't that different from most other tournaments. DJ is a better golfer than Brooks and has been for the duration of their entire careers so far. He will likely continue to be better.

Pretty sure Bro isn't dumb, he intentionally keeps a lower profile. It works for him for people to think he's dumb, not interesting, whatever.

DJ, on the other hand, is a confirmed mouthbreather.

I also don’t know if Brooks is ever winning an Open or the Masters. I would say he may get one down in Augusta but I would be wary of saying he would get more than that. The shorter holes I think mean his approach game has to be perfect for 4 days and that is probably the weak part of his game. The Open is a simple one. The conditions are largely too unfavorable for him to take advantage of his drive. You could luck out and get remarkable weather for 3 days which allows him to pull it off one year but I’m not seeing it

he could've won this year's masters

and he played and won in Britain on the Challenge Tour, when he was coming up and in horrible conditions. That was covered in that Golf Channel segment earlier today.

Trying to rationalize why the likely winner of 4 of the last 8 majors cannot achieve a certain something in the game he is dominating is something to do.

Phil slapped hands with about 500 people on the way to the tee, then took a big handful of trailmix. He is feeling the side effects of inoculation.

Hidecki hasn't been in contention in a long long time. He has a bunch of smoke and mirrors decent finishes where he finishes close enough that he appears to have been in contention, but was never a threat to win. He has little chance for a good round today now that he is within shouting distance. He has been back door finishing a lot, like Rory has been in most majors since 2014. He is off his game when you do a little digging.....trading water career wise. He was on a few talking head's radar for the Masters. He is a throw out until he proves otherwise.

He definitely got the work done a few years ago. He did just enough to not look like a fool. It was starting to be the first thing you thought about when you saw him. He goes to work quickly after finishing the 18th hole and removing his hat before shaking hands. He maneuvers the piece around in front so that pics from photographers will look decent.

When he was on his torrid run in 2015, his hairline was the only thing bad people thought about....lol.

I used to somewhat be in that camp, but you are wrong. There are ways to set up golf courses so that they tend to determine who the best players are. There have certainly been fluke winners in every major, but the cream rises to the top, and all players know the rules going in, and all agree that the majors determine greatness.

It is unfortunate for someone like Greg Norman, whom by all other measures would be one of the all time greats, and it is very fortunate for Nick Faldo, who lucked into many majors, including the ones that propelled him past Greg Norman before he delivered the knockout punch to Greg at the 96 Masters.

Faldo was known as El Foldo in the British press. He was also terrible with the media, and hated by the fans for his boring style of play. His conservative style had him close enough in the big events that he was able to capitalize when others collapsed, kinda like a poor man's, boring Jack Nicklaus.

Throw in a broadcasting career that totally changed people's perception of him, and Nick Faldo gets the prize for most blessed golfer of all time. That career as an announcer is getting quite long in the tooth, as Faldo never did offer great insight, it's just that he was known as the most boring and uninteresting man on the planet before that, so he became a pleasant surprise in the booth. The contrast helped.
