After performing nuts and contempt in bunker, brooks coeck back in the main form

Oakmont, PA. – Brooks Koeka once called the main championships the easiest to win. That was six years ago, when he had three. He now owns five, though none in eight attempts – eight frustrating attempts during which the coex did not file, read only one top, and he missed each of the last cuts.

So does it still feel like that?

Is Big, Bad Coepka, now 35, still among those precious little with talent and toughness to win these types of tests?

“I’m not talking about it, guys talk about it,” Koeka said, send a clear message that he still doesn’t want to talk about it. He reminded that it was his quotation, the coke added, “I said that once, and now everyone repeats it.”

But the actions always speak louder than words, and on Thursday at Country Club Oaxmont, the coke announced this 125. American open field that has not yet done. The coeka is 2-below the birds back in the back, there is only two shots back from JJ Spaun leaders, but more importantly, edit it as one of only two main champions that is in line with Jon Rahm (1 below).

Another eight? They have been combined for eight major 10s’ top 10s, which is calculated by Sungjae IM and none of which is not in the USA.

The old coke would not blink on those guys.

But in recent months, the coeck did not feel like yourself. Since his runner in Liv Singapore did not finish better than T-17 on a circle of 54 players, while the trunk on Friday in Auguta and turns into the cavity. He set out to number 98 in the ranking of golf data. And his attitude? Maybe the worst thing has ever been.

“I’d say from the first weekend in April until last week, you didn’t want to be around me,” Koeka said. .

The coex statistics show him bleeding kicks around and on the greenery. The coair acknowledges that he “just entered some bad habits and bad swings,” the club is 9 inches, of which the coeka experienced that it was, and the coeka patented baby faded develop into two-way misses.

The question has become so touched that the coex did not play a golf course for the first two days of practice in the last week’s event, Liv Golf Virginia, decided resolutely to sit in the range and understand.

“He’s starting to click,” Koeka said, who gained over two strikes the ball on Thursday, while in third place in the moves obtained around the green.

But not, without additional fire, encouraged coepline Coach Pete Cowen on Monday in the bunker in the far corner of the Oakmont area.

“About 45 minutes, I just sat there, and he despised me quite well,” Koeka said, who wouldn’t reveal exactly what was said.

Cowen is needed to use similar tactics in the past, most famous in front of us in 2017. Open, when he told the then coex “,” you must have a champion attitude and stop being a pet. “Cowen also said the coex to stop whining about his placement after last year’s masters.

“I’ll be postponed like this: JT thought he had to check to check me in the bunker,” Koeka added. “… I wasn’t happy with that, but I think you need to hear or I should have heard at the right time. I don’t like to not fight me. Just to tell me the truth, tell me what’s going on.

“If I start swinging from the stream of Koeka, I want someone to call me to it, and he did Helluv.”

Brooks coeck must have been the soot of Koeka on Thursday in Oakmont.

He would like to preserve him that way.
