Anyone still interested in the PGA Championship this year? It falls so soon after The Open that it is hard to get too excited, I will admit. Golf Course Architecture twitter is ripping the course up, but we could still get a good tournament.

I'll throw out the usual questions:

Who do you want to win?

Who do you not want to win?

Who do you think will win?

They say it's boring, parkland course. Nothing imaginative about it, no strategy, no creativity needed. If you follow FriedEgg golf and the other GCA people that have popped up recently, you'll see it.

This week's PGA will provide a look at the misguided past of golf course architecture. Bellerive is a test that asks the same question 18 times, can you hit it straight? Mother Nature hasn't done it any favors, but at its core it's simple thoughtless target golf. This year's other major venues (Augusta, Shinnecock, Carnoustie) showed that natural topography, strategic bunkers and interesting green complexes can befuddle the world's best players. Bellerive's land could yield a championship test like this, but it lacks the architectural genius that the other three venues exude. Its rolling topography was manipulated and flattened to create even fairway lies. Hole after hole features bunkers and hazards on each side, leaving no doubt as to what the line is off the tee. The benign green complexes and surrounding areas make the penalty for any miss a small one. Scores will be low, creative shotmaking scarce, this is major.



Not saying I agree or disagree, just what the golf people I follow online are saying.

Who do you want to win? I'd like to see Rory add to his total or Rickie break through with his first major win.

Who do you not want to win? A Euro (edit besides Rory). Don't want them building any confidence heading into the Ryder Cup.

Who do you think will win? Justin Thomas is my pick.

Who do you want to win? Tiger Woods.

Who do you not want to win? Patrick Cantlay. Do not want to watch his fidgety slow playing ass. I hate him. Hope he gets the yips and end up on the Web.com Tour.

Who do you think will win? Jordan Spieth.

Ha yeah I screwed that up. I guess I was thinking more Fleetwood, Rahm, Stenson, Rose, Sergio etc etc.

This is why I am last place in every Major Pick Em pool.

Some random Euro
Fleetwood

And as for the course, I don't mind a straight, flat and target golf course. I don't want them every major but having imagination and luck at every turn can get boring too.

I'd like Spieth for the career grand slam, Tiger, Rory, or Fowler.

I definitely don't want Reed to win either or Koepka.

I think Rory will win.

What's wrong with Koepka? He seems like a good dude.

Koepka needs to win more non major tourneys. He has 3 career wins but 2 majors. I don't dislike him.

Name checks out. I've never heard someone discredit wins because they won them on the toughest courses against the best competitors.

Wheels off for Tiger, much like his back 9 last week.

Ugly.

He changed his shirt between 11 and 12. Looks like it helped.

Blew his shot at a double bogey. Going to have to settle for a regular bogey.

Not discrediting his wins. Its no small feat to beat the best in the world and the USGA at the same time on a super difficult course.

There's just a lot of other players I'd rather see win that either have 1 or 0 majors that have done more on the tour in terms of wins and rapport with fans over the years.

Koepka needs more non-majors

DJ needs more majors.

It is a fickle sport
