TOrrey Pines, with his rough ball swallower, weeds over 12 cm, very dense that will make the blows extremely difficult from there, seeks, without luck when preparing this chronicle, a photo above all else: the one in which Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau, the title defender, appear.
Both have raised the decibels involved in the verbal fencing that they have maintained for months, intensified since Sunday of the PGA Championship when, in the middle of an interview, when Koepka was counting that it was difficult for him to “read (the greens)”, DeChambeau went on to his side and said it was “very easy to fix. You just have to know what line you’re reading”, as if calling him ignorant.
The match had one more chapter a couple of weeks ago, when at the Memorial a group of back-to-back fans chanted “Brooksy, Brooksy,” while DeChambeau was playing. Koepka, who was resting in Florida, when he found out, rushed to upload a video to social networks thanking the fans for remembering him and rewarding the enthusiasts who had perpetrated with cases of beer.
“That’s good for golf. Now there are more eyes that have not done it in other circumstances,” says Koepka in the same vein as DeChambeau, who also does not dramatize a situation unknown to this sport where the label is above all . “No, really, that’s fine. It’s turned into a great joke. I love it. I love hitting the ball, while I hear about ‘Brooksy, Brooksy.’
Cordial messages
The attitude of both now comes after a few truly tense weeks, in which the PGATour slipped into hiding messages to both of them of harmony. Even Steve Stricker, the American captain of the Ryder, said that he was not liking the look the pike was taking. “Within a team, the atmosphere will be different,” warns DeChambeau. The USGA wanted to put them together in the same game on a television pitch, but Bryson declined.
Jon Rahm can catch the number 1 again
In view of the game played out at the Memorial until the Covid-19 separation arrived, everyone agrees to place Jon Rahm as the favorite for victory on Sunday. Barrika’s, could also reach the world number 1 if he achieves victory and Dustin Johnson finishes below 18th place, something that would have been greatly simplified with the victory sung in Muirfield Village two weeks ago. A fifth would have been enough.
The pulse between the two has lowered the volume to everything else in the third big of the season. Even with Jon Rahm being the top favorite for the tournament due to his experience in the field where they debut in 2017.
