Brooks Koepka Becomes The First Back-To-Back US Open Champion Since 1989

Good! I’m glad Brooks Koepka won the US Open at Shinnecock Hills and you should be too. Why? That quote above. “I feel like the harder the golf course, the better.” That’s what I want to hear. You don’t bitch. You don’t moan. You don’t cry about how the our close and personal friends at the USGA have supposedly lost control of the golf course (come on, Zach). You don’t go on Twitter rants like that baby Ian Poulter. You go out there, you grab the course by the balls, you hold on for dear life and you win back-to-back US Opens. That’s exactly what Brooks did. The first time it’s been done since Curtis Strange did it in 1989. Carnage is just part of the deal at the US Open. An over par winner is just what the doctor ordered.

How is the course too hard if the guys in the running down the stretch were the reigning US Open champ, the reigning Masters champ and the #1 player in the world? Sounds like exactly what you want. Seems like you just gotta play really really well. Everybody was playing the same course. Brooks was just better than everybody else. Simple as that. That’s how you face adversity.

What a ballsy final round from Koepka. So many moments where he could’ve let it slip away. The bogey putt on 11 after hitting it to an impossible spot. The par save on 12. The par save on 14. The very mini scare on 18. He just wouldn’t quit. He putted his balls off. He played alongside his buddy Dustin Johnson all day and kept him at bay. Koepka earned that 2.16 million dollar check like a mother fucker. Congrats to him.

PS- Congratulations to the true US Open champion, David Portnoy. Nobody came even close to his -16 score. What a week. What a score. What a champion.
