He thinks the ball change is only going to help him.Īs far as the Saudi Tour, in case anyone wonders, Koepka has no interest. That allows him to land it more softly on hard greens, like those at TPC Scottsdale this week. (Golfers, take note!) With a 7-iron, he said, the ball goes 15 feet higher with the same spin. He called it crazy because it doesn’t move in the wind. He has noticed a big change in the Srixon ball.

“Once we got that done, everything else, you know, you just match your specs.” My lob wedge is probably a little difficult to get the grind right. “It’s all about getting the grind work done for me. He had previous experience using Cleveland wedges when he was a junior.

But he has not experienced that at all with the Cleveland set. In the past, he explained, because he is steep with his angle of attack, every once in a while, the club would grab and drag the ball left a little bit. “The irons have been probably the easiest transition I have ever made,” he said.

The high decibel count brings out the jock in him. In other words, TPC Scottsdale gets his competitive juices flowing in ways that other tournaments don’t. “It almost feels like a real sport, like football, basketball, things like that,” he noted about the uproar. How Sergio finished his rounds was beyond amazing. Bethpage is where the fans once counted the number of re-grips Sergio Garcia had in his pre-shot routine. He likes gallery enthusiasm so much that he actually enjoys playing at Bethpage in New York where the crowd is notoriously vocal and not always nice. He loves it when they cheer for his good shots. He likes it if he hits a bad shot and they let him know he messed up. “I don’t know the numbers, I don’t want to screw it up, but, I mean, it’s pretty much the biggest tournament we have on the PGA Tour as far as fans, people, the presence,” he added. He is also one who loves the noisy atmosphere. “It almost feels like a real sport, like football, basketball, things like that,” Brooks Koepka said about the noise fans make at the WMO.
