Brooks Koepka on pace of play on the PGA Tour

I like Brooks Koepka, he is honest and true to his words. What you see is what you get. As we say in French, c’est un vrai!

5:20 for the final 3-some at the US Open today. The first step is name the names. Publish the times that players get. I don't know why they protect the identities of slow players. He is the basic rule- when it's your turn- hit the ball

Brooks: “ even if I don’t need to, I’ll go to the loo, hang out in there for 5 minutes to deliberately slow us down, then we’ll get put on the clock…then we’ll end up playing faster at my pace”
BRILLIANT! I wonder if he has a wank at at Paige Spirinac’s Insta page whilst he’s in the loo 👊

Slow play even ruins club golf, never mind PGA tournaments. He is so right-on and we all know who in particular you’re talking about Brooksie!😜

Brooks drops a deuce, turns him loose.

Annoying. The pace should be dictated by the fastest player not the slowest.
Adding an hour or more to a round because of one weirdo makes no sense. And this hour is multiplied by no. of guys in your group as well as everyone behind you.

Brooks is right on, the tv audience if tired of waiting on all the slow play screw the PGA,for not inforcing slow play rules.

Well said.

1 stroke penalty for first violation.
2 stroke penalty for all subsequent violations thereafter.

I've watched him do that playing with gicky Fowler a couple weeks back. Don't know if they were put on the clock but you could tell he was losing the will to live waiting for Ricky to lineup putts 3 times before even addressing the ball,and then I noticed he slowed right down to gickys pace.

Brooks is the man.

But I enjoy watching a pro spend 2 mins studying a putt only to jerk it left and watch it roll off the green. It... empowers me.

Ok. The problem Brooks is the players dont have a clock available to see as opposed to obvious other infractions

How about the Rory Sabatini solution?

I get called a slow player because everyone else is selfish with the golf carts instead of parking it somewhere in between our shots they go right next to their ball and expect me to walk then tell me to hurry up. People are just selfish on the course in a bunch of different ways.

I'm starting to like this guy more and more each time you listen to what he says 💯

It is FUStrating lol

i hate slow players practice swing after practice swing. hello call people up let them go golf is not a slow playing sport 4 hours only

please name the names. other than Bryson

Brooks, one moment he's reprimanding slow players, and then he appears butt naked. This world is going to hell in a golf ball bucket.

“With a couple guys.. not gonna name names”

Bryson dechambeau

Haha I love this guy

Just get up there and Sip it and rip it. If you want to play slow go to the CC on a Tuesday afternoon.

Only 1 solution.
Stroke penalty
Money doesn’t mean anything to these guys.

BK asserting dominance

That’s actually some tiger level assassin shit he’s doing playing intentionally slow with slow players to get on clock right away

Douche-am-bo.....

I like Brooks style. He doesn't overly think it and just goes for it.

I am pretty bad at golf. So when I do play, I give my self three shots to get my ball to the green on a par 4, and 4 shots on a par 5. if I'm playing particularly poorly, I pick my ball up and go to the green, take one putt, and then go to the next hole. When it's time for me to hit, I just walk up, make sure I am aimed correctly and then I take my rip. I don't understand guys that need to check the wind, take a minute to select the right club, need to read the break on every putt, and then still shoot 110. You're not playing for millions of dollars. And if you are betting money, you're a fool. All you are doing is slowing up the groups behind you and turning a relaxing day at the course into an annoyance.

The game within the game. It's almost as dumb as the NBA allowing 3 steps and a hop post dribble. Rules smooles

Koepka.....
Why did you throw the Masters on the back nine of the final round????

Dechambeaux

His brutally honest assessment of how he deals with it is bloody brilliant. Very canny, and takes balls to admit that kind of tactic publicly.

It’s only ok to play slow if I’m the one doing it.. what a piece of work.

just DQ, don’t even worry about 1 stroke penalty

When he said “I’m not naming names”, I immediately thought of JB Holmes. His game moves at the speed of an arthritic tortoise. He had brain surgery, so that might have something to do with it

Does the PGA test for steriods??

Purposely gets put on the clock to play at his pace.... smart and honest dude.

Slow play sucks but if you're letting another player or players affect your skills bc of what they're doing or not doing than you need to work on your mental game.

its definitely "fustrating"

Relax Danny! It’s a gift if you get to spend another hour enjoying the outdoors.

Love Brooks. Stick it to em!

Slow players should send their caddies ahead for most shots so they can begin the preparation process for the next shot. Slow players should also walk fast or jog to their ball to allow for their slower prep time.

One problem: A "group" is put on the clock, even though it might be one golfer who is responsible for the group's slow play. Then, once on the clock, every golfer in the group is at risk to be penalized. A fast player who would normally be way ahead of pace now cannot take an extra minute to prepare for a tricky shot without being penalized.

Only problem is why be interviewed by Danny Kannell who is pretty clueless.

just like society, Brooks...tolerating people breaking the law and not punishing them results in more law-breaking, just like not penalizing players results in more slow play from them...you'd think we'd learn

Take the slow players, and have them start on Wedndays and Thrusdays

Keopka says it like it is. Shoots from the hip. Doesn't really get the credit for his achievements in last few years. Rory DJ and Speith still the main men in golf media. Was wondering who are the really slow players . It's bound to have an impact on playing partners. Same with Nadal in tennis. Form of cheating really.
