Well, my Tuesday Twofer picks did better this week. I picked Jon Rahm (MC) to win and Dustin Johnson (2) to Top10. I had such a strong gut feeling about Rahmbo when the week started; apparently it was only indigestion. But DJ lived up to expectations and even had a chance to win.

  • Winners: 2 for20
  • Place well (Top10): 11 for 20 (6 Top5 finish, 5 more Top10s)
  • Overall Top10s: 21 of 40 (11 Top5s, 10 more Top10s)
In the end, though, the story was about Bethpage Black. After a few days of slumber the old girl woke up, shook the sleep out of her eyes and began to terrorize the poor mortals who had dared to challenge her.

Even the hero of the script, Brooks Koepka, wasn't proof against her rage. After three days of putting information and humiliating the relaxation of the sector, Brooks found out he wouldn't break out with out a combat. On Sunday the Black started stealing returned all the strokes he had stolen from her, even placing his victory in jeopardy.

And to whom did she offer it? Why, Dustin Johnson, of course! Had DJ absolutely controlled to move -1 on the final three holes he ought to have pressured a playoff.

But the Black was simply toying with him, it appears. In the end, all Brooks needed became a tough-won bogey on the final hole to protect his identify and emerge as the primary participant ever to guard titles and keep their trophies at the equal time -- in this case, the PGA and america Open.

Now all eyes could be on him at Pebble. Can he probably pick up a 3rd US Open in a row? Perhaps the better question is... Can everybody probably forestall him?

As of nowadays, the solution is in doubt.

Brooks has broken too many statistics for me to listing right here, and he may also wreck greater earlier than the year is out. All I recognise is that he made Brandel Chamblee devour his words -- the photo came from a golfchannel.Com article bringing up Brandel's admission of defeat -- and he challenged me to make him a suitable Limerick Summary. I suppose I did a decent activity. Do you?

His again-to-again majors made records.

His period off the tee and his wizardry

?Round the vegetables is so strong

That, except Brooks goes incorrect,

How another might win is a mystery. The photo came from this page at golfchannel.com.
