You nailed it.  Koepka reminds me of a bully in high school, that thinks he's too cool for everyone else.  He's ripped on DJ, Rory, announcers, says he doesn't need any friends on tour.  

If he keeps acting like this, pretty soon the hecklers could start in and that will really set him off.

I kind of like professional athletes that aren't trying to be buddies with their competition. There are plenty of examples of the greatest athletes in different sports that were notorious for their hyper competitiveness that had no interest in being friends with their opposition; sticking just with golf, Tiger was never known as the friendliest player. Obviously, Brooks isn’t Tiger, but I kind of like his similar, cold approach.

I honestly can't stand Koepka's attitude. The guy talks a huge game when he is winning, for example "Majors are the easiest tournaments to win." As soon as things start to go wrong, he blames his injuries or some other nonsense as to why it's going bad, then follows that up with "but I've got to be better" so it seems like he isn't making excuses. 

I am only 30 too, so I wouldn't classify myself as the get off my lawn type.

If you call Bryson Dechambumb instead of Dechambeau, it'll make you feel better.  Not really a fan of either, but Dechambumb annoys the hell out of me.

It wasn't just the noise of the spikes either. Koepka said he was having a hard time reading the greens and Bryson said as he walked by, "you just have to find the right line."

So yeah, I don't blame Koepka for his reaction.

Bryson Dechambeau is the equivalent of that Beer League Softball player who shows up in metal spikes, sprints around the bases, and complains about every ball and strike.

He's the worst

I’ve failed to ever throw out even one dude at third base from RF, but I’m going to keep throwing it there cuz if I finally do then I can flex and tell my kids! In the meantime runners at 2nd & 3rd for the 100th time instead of 1st & 3rd, who cares if we lose, as long as I look cool!
