Cool to see Koepka and Mickelson at the top of the leaderboard, I don’t care for Reed as I’ve heard he’s not a likable person. But Rahm was clearly the man today. Hats off to him and those two sandwiches he pounded lol

I like Rahm but I usually root for an American to win but not a fan of of former FSU golfer Koepka. I don't watch the LIV tour so many of these guys it has been a while since I've seen them compete. Rahm is very aware of the history of the game and I especially respect him for that. FYI, I also game Callaway Epic irons and Mac Daddy wedges.

I found myself pulling for Koepka because it seemed like the whole broadcast was centered around asking which PGA guys would make a run and catch him instead of how good of a start he had got off to. Which ultimately happened with Rahm lol
The only LIV guy I couldn’t get behind was Reed. I was pulling for the rest of them to be in contention because of the slights that were thrown their way and small amount of coverage for what Phil accomplished

I would pull for numerous PGA players over those that bolted for the LIV! The LIV players don't get tested playing 72 holes each week against the best players in the world.

PGA doesn't want competition and are doing their best to eliminate the LIV so they can enjoy the entire pot of gold. Never a fan of that way of thinking. Its too elitist democrat for me.

Koepka might have been physically healthy but he wasn't

Tournament ready. He was good for about 3 to 3.5 days, but after that he lost his swing, focus, and perseverance. All of those things come into winning a Golf tournament, not just "health".
He was better than Rahm for 3 days, but not 4, and they don't give trophies for that.
It is interesting to note that Koepka had it to -13 at one point, which is lower than Rahm got. So again, had he been tournament ready for 4 days, he might certainly have won. In that, the weather surely played a factor, as the grind they had on Saturday really takes it out of you, and would have hurt Koepka significantly worse than someone prepared to play 4 days (i.e. Rahm).
Good tournament all around though. Rahm, Koepka, Scheffler, Spieth, et al seem like good guys. McIlroy too, though I doubt he'll ever win at Augusta.

It was still pretty cool in my opinion that 3 of the top 5 ended up being LIV guys. While what you’re saying is true about less golf, there was nobody better than Rahm this weekend but the closest guys that could have beat him play on the LIV tour
