From the first weekend in April till about last week, you didn’t want to be around me. Brooks was supposed to be finished. A miserable year. Three missed cuts in majors forgotten in Rider Cup week. But in Paris, something shifted. On moving day, he went from invisible to inevitable. Five birdies in a row. A charge that looked like the Brooks of old. And yet, one stumble on 18 left the story unfinished. So the question now, was this just a flash or the return of Major Brooks? Yeah, I haven’t played very good this year. Um, it’s it’s felt good, and then it’s just completely disappeared. 2025 had been brutal. Missed cuts, mediocrity, and no wins since 2024. He wasn’t preparing for Beth Page and the Ryder Cup. He was grinding through a 3-week DP tour stretch, searching for relevance. And yet he kept saying, “I feel like my game’s been trending. I feel a lot closer. I feel like my game’s been trending in the right direction. It’s the results haven’t been there, but uh I feel a lot closer.” Um, belief without proof. Um, I’m I’m pleased with the work I’ve put in over the last 2 3 months. It’s been a lot of work, so hopefully it uh pays off. San Labradesh provided a chance through 12 holes. Brooks was steady, patient, stalking. Then the switch flipped. At 13, a birdie. Plan a tour here in Europe. That is a very nice birdie. At 13. At 14. Another 15 ft left. Good shot. Oh, I don’t know. I don’t want to miss it. Right. That’s the only thing. Big run off. You’d be 25 yd away. But by 15, pressure built on 16, a 7footer buried. [Music] He’s only gone and got it. And at 17, a dart to 3 ft. angle. [Music] Can you meet five birdies in a row? Oh, it’s brilliant. It’s brilliant. His fifth in a row from shadow to leader in the space of an hour. Just a little hand position tweak. Now I’m striking them online, confident. That’s all it took. A small change, but belief roared back. Little bit of hand position. We we’ve got it sorted now where I feel like I’m striking the putts very well. Um hitting them online and and feel confident. But golf has a way of reminding you it’s never done. On 18, the par three, he missed the green. Chip close six feet for par. The kind of putt he’d hold all day. This time it slid by. Bogey from -12 back to -1. From solo leader now tied. That stumble reopened the door. Standing with him is Min Woo Lee. The steady hand at minus 11. Just behind Armitage, Miglotzi, Kim, all within a shot. Brooks has closed seven of 10 times from this position. But is that the Brooks we’ll see on Sunday is Major Brooks back?
