By US States World After the main Golf Channel expert and previous visit player Brandel Chamblee openly blamed Koepka for expert rashness by losing considerable load for a photo shoot, a sharp reproach showed up via web-based networking media. "On the off chance that working out vestiges professions, what destroyed yours?" asked Koepka. Ouch.

Henrik Stenson's 74 was sensible given the all-powerful wreckage he made of the thirteenth, from which he wandered off with a triple-intruder eight. Tommy Fleetwood surrendered he ‚" struggled" for the last 10 openings of his 71.
There were, unavoidably, awful Thursdays. Jordan Spieth's 75 encapsulated his ongoing structure. Additional astounding was Justin Rose restoring a similar number, also Paul Casey's 81.
Ian Woosnam's Augusta days are numbered to the point where it would be no stun if the Welshman, the victor in 1991, says goodbye after cycle two. Woosnam slipped to a Thursday 80.
