Damon Hack joined Dukes & Bell to preview the US Open, when will Rickie Fowler win a major, and has Brooks Koepka and Dustin Johnson become a rivalry?
Damon explained to the guys why Brooks Koepka is angry heading into the US Open.
“He’s become Rodney Dangerfield.” Hack said “He feels like he gets no respect, every little slight he turns it into something, he has people that let him know about these things and gets mad.”
Hack told the guys Tiger Woods wasn’t ready for the PGA Championship.
“His game is in the right place.” Hack said “He finished tied for 9th at memorial, he just wasn’t ready at the PGA Championship, he had a cold and the quick turnaround didn’t allow his body to come back from that after. He says his body is in a great place, his mind is in a great place, to see how he looks and how he is moving, he’s very confident and even took Tuesday off.”
When asked if Dustin Johnson has a problem finishing tournaments.
“That’s the issue.” Hack said “Not only can he not finish, but his former buddy Brooks Koepka has surpassed him in major wins, and they’re no longer working out together or share the same swing coaches and it’s become a bit of a rivalry, a healthy rivalry but it has become one.”
Will Rickie Fowler ever win a major?
“I almost feel like in a few years when no one is talking about him.” Hack said “The biggest issue Rickie Fowler has is this velociraptor released in Brooks Koepka, Tiger is back in his prime, he’s 30 years old now and Phil Mickelson didn’t win one until his 30’s so hopefully this is when he wins one.”
