19th Hole

Viktor Hovland appeared to send a message to ‘brutally slow’ Patrick Cantlay during Masters final round

Published

on

There were plenty of big stories at the Masters. Jon Rahm captured his first career green jacket in dominating fashion, Phil Mickelson charged up the leaderboard to finish in a tie for second place, and Brooks Koepka regained his form to be a major championship contender once again.

Another story that developed over the weekend was the world’s 4th ranked player, Patrick Cantlay, being criticized for his slow play. Rahm and (especially) Koepka were visibly annoyed by the slow play all day, and Cantlay’s playing partner Viktor Hovland even hit a shot on the green while Cantlay was still meandering up the fairway.

Luke Donald also speculated on Twitter whether or not the slow play was the cause of Brooks’ struggles on Sunday.

Following his final round, Brooks Koepka was asked directly about the pace of play during the final round, and in typical fashion he did not hold back, saying:

“Yeah, the group in front of us was brutally slow. Jon went to the bathroom like seven times during the round, and we were still waiting.”

    Players should be penalized for slow play!. Masters should appoint one of their Billionairs
    To each hole as an official.
    This would open up a space for a
    Medium income person who will never get them out of their sacred seat. Waited 77 yes no ticket , smug Masters take action.Pete from Pittsfield,MA.

    Matt, the way you report this makes it sound like Viktor said Cantley was “brutally slow” when actually that was a quote by Brooks.
    You’re not being fair to Viktor. Not a good thing for a reporter who wants to write honest reporting.

    Cantly was disgracefully slow; my gosh, spent minutes lining up 4-ft putts that he kept on missing. Don’t even get me started on how slow his fairway shots were. I’m glad Kevin said something, we police our own my course, wish more pros would speak out and do the same.

    I actually recorded the Masters & watched it that evening, kept having to fast-forward whenever they cut to Cantley because I knew he wasn’t hitting anything for 45 seconds. Disgraceful, where are the fines? Actually, forget finds, make it strokes. Maybe it did throw capco off, I know when we play and we’re waiting on every. Single. Shot. It does throw things off.

‘It was devastating’ – Keegan Bradley reveals the call he got that made him believe he was on Ryder Cup team

Published

Sep 21, 2023

By

This week, Keegan Bradley was a guest on the Foreplay Podcast. The 37-year-old was one of the players who seemingly narrowly missed a spot on the Ryder Cup team, and shared a heart wrenching story of how it all went down.

Apparently, Zach Johnson texted all of the players in consideration for a Captain’s pick that they’d be getting a call the following day about whether or not they’ve made the team.

When the next day arrived, Keegan got a call from Netflix, who said “Keegan, we got a camera crew five minutes from your house.”

At that moment, Bradley let himself believe that meant he was going to be heading to Rome for the Ryder Cup.

“Why would they be sending a camera crew if I’m not to get picked? For the first time, I let my brain think I did it.”

He then said he knew immediately by the tone of Zach’s voice that he wasn’t going to be picked.

“It was devastating.”

Brooks Koepka explains why he understood the case for and against picking Dustin Johnson for the Ryder Cup

Published

Sep 21, 2023

Brooks Koepka is the lone LIV golfer in next week’s Ryder Cup. This will be the 33-year-old’s fourth Ryder Cup, and second in Europe. In his three prior Ryder Cups, Koepka is 6-5-1 overall, including 2-0-1 in singles matches.

Koepka was extremely close to being an automatic qualifier but slipped out of the final spot during the FedEx Cup playoffs.

The five-time major champion spoke about his Ryder Cup preparation prior to this week’s LIV Chicago event, in which he will be taking a flight to Rome directly after.

“My whole mindset has been to practice for (the Ryder Cup) the last few weeks. I mean, look, I think it’s one of the top six, seven biggest sporting events you can have. It’s a little bit more eyeballs, a little bit more pressure.”

When asked if he “plays for legacy” now after all he’s accomplished, Koepka said “I think everybody remembers their record”.

“I think everybody remembers their record, or that’s kind of what you’re known by, wins, losses. Poulter has pretty much made a career on that. Yeah, I think you can.”

While speaking with Sports Illustrated this week, Brooks was asked about the fact that Dustin Johnson, who went 5-0 at Whistling Straits in 2021, was not chosen as a captains pick this time around.

“I get the case for DJ. He played great the last time, played great last year. Hasn’t really played that great this year … or hasn’t played to DJ’s standard. That’s a better way to put that. And he didn’t play well in the majors. So I can see why he didn’t get a pick. But if they had picked him, it’s DJ and I could see that one as well.”

Although there will be no other LIV players in Rome, Koepka said he’s not worried about who he plays with and can “play with anybody”.

“I can play with anybody, and I will play with anybody.”

It will be interesting to see who Koepka is paired with next week at Marco Simone.

Free agent Matt Fitzpatrick explains why he can’t play golf clubs made by these two manufacturers

Published

on

Sep 21, 2023

By

The 2022 U.S. Open Champion, Matt Fitzpatrick, is currently an equipment free agent. He recently sat down with GolfMagic to discuss why he isn’t tied down with a manufacturer and what his outlook is going forward.

“I struggle with TaylorMade and Callaway clubs because of the way their woods and hybrids are designed. The soles aren’t very good for me so my interaction with the turf is terrible with those. Until that changes, I’d never be able to get on with them. PING and Titleist have always been a little bit better for me.”

With TaylorMade and Callaway off the table, Fitzpatrick is currently using Titleist TSi3 and is also experimenting with a Titleist TSR3.

According to the photos captured by GolfMagic, Fitz is still using his Bettinardi BB1 Fitz, but also has a different Bettinardi prototype he’s experimenting with in Rome.

With tight fairways at Marco Simone, the Englishman will be hoping that whichever driver he chooses keeps him in the fairway at next week’s Ryder Cup.
