About the author

Tom Edrington

Tom Edrington spent the first 10 years of his misguided youth as a sports writer for the Tampa Tribune. His career brought him face to face with many of sports greatest stars -- Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Muhammad Ali, Don Shula, countless Hall of Fame NFL stars, more PGA Tour players than he can count. In 1980 he was honored by the Golf Writers Association of America for writing the best news story that year, his coverage of Jack Nicklaus' U.S. Open victory at Baltusrol. Today, 36 years later, golf is still a great part of his life, thanks to competitive playing days and the wonderful people he has met on this fabulous journey.

    Yes Koepka knows it’s not a major. But that makes this a psychological issue…I believe it’s a physical one.
    I do not question BKs intentions, in fact I do believe him, but the reality is brooks struggles to perform his best in non majors.
    So long as he keeps performing in majors so what?
    But why does this phenomenon occur?
    BKs psychology is not a questionable one so I would look elsewhere.
    For me it’s horses for courses and this beefiest of horses gells perfectly with the beefiest tests of today’s elite golf competitions.
    While many players still get beat up at majors, many of the courses —even the Bethpage blacks — look borderline obsolete as extremely tough tests for brooks.
    Until the usga rna find a way to reign in these bombers, I would expect this man to continue being an extreme presence in the ‘toughest tests’.

      Another great observation, Baxter…..we take issue with Brooks telling everyone he’s approaching this like a major and by Saturday afternoon, he’s so far down the leaderboard you have trouble finding him!
