Twice a week, Bruce and I talk about the goings-on in men's and women's football around Europe,

Hello, friends, and welcome to this PGA Champion Chip Recap.

Hello, friends, and welcome to this PGA Champion Chip Recap Show.

1:01.0

Brought to you by the Ring of Podcast Network and our good friends at Bandle TV.

1:07.0

This, my friends, is bear-away Roland, a show on the Ring of Podcast Network, and Bandle TV.

1:21.0

I am your starter, Joe House. Joining me is my incomparable accomplice, our PGA tour, and PGA Champion Chip Boots on the ground.

1:30.0

He was in Rochester, New York, Nathan Hubbard. It's a two-ball. We are underway to celebrate the return of a champion.

1:41.0

Let's go.

1:44.0

Nate Dog, how you doing, buddy?

1:47.0

Woo-boy! Hack of a weekend, House. This was a big-time golf tournament. It felt big. The crowds were great. The venue was great. And let's be honest, the champion is great.

2:03.0

I mean, here we go, Nate. Please allow me to reintroduce myself. My name is Brooks now. I'm not going to keep doing it. Don't call it a comeback. I really want to keep doing it.

2:15.0

I'll tell you, it's fine. You did it, but I will say the last thing that we said on Wednesday evening after we'd been on the ground, we'd surveyed the scene, we'd heard what people said, we'd looked at the course, we saw the weather, there was one thing that you asked us to close with.

2:35.0

And we said, what is it that stood out? And it was Brooks Keppka in his press conference, and on that course, telling us the truth, House.

2:46.0

The first time that Brooks Keppka has really told us the truth was that Netflix special. And since that time, it is like you and I were at the US open last year,

3:00.0

Father's Day weekend, and he was lying to us. He had lied to us for two years about his health. He lied to us to our face about whether he was going to live, taking the check, getting his brother paid, getting him in.

3:15.0

And he just, he was, he was nasty, man, you could just tell there was something not right about him. There was a meanness, there was an anger. And I think the more that he opened up about who he was and sort of got in touch with his own emotional vulnerability that started with that Netflix special, but continued this week as he looked right in the camera and said, I know why I lost the masters.

3:41.0

My game is better than it was. I spent a ton of time. I didn't sleep that night. I figured out why. And I'm here to win this golf tournament. We said Wednesday night, watch out for Brooks. And sure enough, you and I texted this morning, that a man, that a man to interview he did last night. He said, I'm not going to tell you my tricks, but I am doing it differently. I promise you, I'm going to show up. And the dog did it.
