NORTH PLAINS, Ore. — When it comes to the LIV Golf Invitational Series, Talor Gooch can’t stop putting his foot in his mouth.
After shooting a 2-under 70 in the final round of this week’s event near Portland at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club, Gooch was asked if he felt the energy of the fans – who were stuck in traffic for hours trying to get to the parking lot from the highway – and the 30-year-old gave an answer that sent golf Twitter into a frenzy.
“I haven’t played a Ryder Cup or a Presidents Cup, but can’t imagine there’s a whole hell of a lot of a difference,” said Gooch. “This was as cool as it gets. We’ve been saying about it all week. The energy is different. It’s awesome.”
