He's not especially long off the tee but is a solid ball-striker and can be deadly with a wedge in his hands. His putting is steady and sometimes spectacular. I met him a few times, and I got to watch him hit some balls every now and then. Just about perfect every time. Until recently Brooks was a member at Colonial, and he knows the course well.
Course management is key.
Brooks won the 1996 PGA Championship. I have had a few good individual rounds but only a couple of really good tournaments. You would think I would have done a lot better. There could be several reasons why I haven't. My first several years on TOUR, I was real anxious playing at home.
