Brooks Koepka

[BigEasyERGC]

Congratulations and all that in terms of the Corinthian spirit of the game.

But there is something about brooks I just can't take to.

Can't stand the guy!

And all this talk about him being the next golfing great. Heard all the same noise after Rory's first few majors.

Just my opinion.

I think he's the coolest guy in pro golf

Says things as it is, plays quick, doesn't get overly emotional, granted all that can come over as a bit dull but I think he's a breathe of fresh air to the game, and the fact he started his career over here gives him even more kudos, it's a yes from me.

2nd Best thing to happen to golf for long time (after Tiger winning the masters).

Gets up hits it hard, goes finds it, hits it again without faffing about. Decent short game and putts well. Was happy to cut his teeth in Europe on the Challenge tour and now reaping the benefits. No daft gimmicks and seems pretty straight talking

im a big fan, but its just my opinion

I like him too. At leas he wins majors so is backing up the claims whereas DJ, for instance, just seems to flatter to deceive in the big 4. One wonders whether DJ will end up another Greg Norman whereas Koepka could be overtaking some big names in the majors list in the near future.

 

[Dasit]

Big fan of his

Down to Earth. Gets on with the golf. Isn't obsessed with the game.

I like him - certainly far better than DJ , Brooks has a personality and a better golfer - certainly going to win a few more majors.

Unlike rory he has the mental side of his game on tee

As a golf fan I don’t dislike any of them...I don’t buy into the Mickleson Mr Nice Guy shtick, however!

 

[tugglesf239]

Seem like a nice bloke to me

Friendly enough I believe
Smashes it every chance he gets
Plays aggressive
A a proper hunk 😂

His shoes are gawd awful though as are his hillbilly razored lack of sideburns

I agree with all of this. He's excellent.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

I like him. Refreshingly honest, plays the game the right way and seems to have found a way to get it done in majors

 

[Bxm Foxy]

Great golfer, and good to watch.

 

[Grant85]

Don't really see all the hate for him. I get it if you prefer someone else, either based on nationality or personality - but I don't see what there is to hate.

Personally think it will get harder for him now. Expectations are up and that will create it's own pressure - as it has with Rory, Spieth, DJ etc.
Who would have thought 5 years ago, we'd be sitting here with Rory still on 4 majors and a host of other guys one 1 or none - that you would have picked to win 2 or 3 by now.

I think people completely under estimate how tough it is to win these and for Brooks to have notched up 4 is quite an achievement, even if he wins nothing else again.

 

[r0wly86]

What do people think, is his major form going to be flash in the pan like Rory and Spieth or do people think he will continue to win. His current Major form is ridiculous.

He's straight talking and really doesn't seem to care what people think of him or what he says, which may be why some don't like him, I find it refreshing as most pros don't really say anything at all

 

[patricks148]

I like him, he has something to prove and took the risk of coming over here and played 2nd rate comps to learn the game, rather than the usual US Pro route.

Hope he continues on and on

I think Rory achieved money and fame, got it all and has now lost that drive. something i hope doesn't happen to Brooks

Maybe he's a member of The Plymouth Brethren!

 

[Marshy77]

I like him, seems a decent guy from his interviews and he's honest. Got some interesting ideas on the game but I like the way he plays and I like his shoes

It seems like he doesn't particularly care about the game as a love, I think he prefers baseball, it's a job to him. Don't know if that will work in his favour or not

 

[User20204]

Brandel Chamblee has stoke his fire that's for sure.

In fairness to Rory, I think this is the case for a lot of guys.

I would be amazed if Rory has problems with work ethic or desire. I think he just feels the pressure when it gets to the final round.

It's a mental problem. He feels that he should be chasing double figures by now in terms of majors. Obviously his 1st two he won by 8 shots and every time he tees is up he feels if he plays as good as he can play, at most venues, no one will beat him.
