Episode 173: Justin Rose Dominates at Torrey Pines & Brooks Koepka Returns to the PGA Tour

Author: Break 80 Podcast February 2, 2026 Duration: 1:04:57
Justin Rose blew the doors off the rest of the field this week at Torrey Pines to win his 13th PGA Tour title of his career. Rose started the week hot posting a -10 (62) on the North Course and kept the good play going en route to a record breaking performance in the event with a winning score of -23. We will discuss his play along with others who played well, including the return of Brooks Koepka, who hit it pretty well, but putted horribly in southern California. It was a wild 3-man playoff on the DP World Tour which included Patrick Reed and Nelly Korda wins a shortened LPGA Tour event in Florida.

The Break80 Podcast is a weekly conversation with Stouds, Mike, and Tim, three friends who find as much to talk about in the game's margins as in its major championships. This isn't just a recap of tour scores; it's a deep dive into the personal stories, the memorable rounds, and the local characters that give golf its texture. You'll hear their own experiences on the course, the good shots and the bad breaks, all framed by a genuine curiosity about what makes the sport compelling. The show actively seeks out the people and places that don't always make the headlines but are essential to the game's heart. It's built on the idea that the pursuit of that magic number-breaking 80-is a universal struggle, a mix of technical challenge and personal narrative. Tuning into this podcast feels like pulling up a chair in the grill room after a round, where the discussion ranges from equipment quirks to course design, always with a focus on the camaraderie that keeps players coming back. The Break80 crew operates with the understanding that the difference between a 79 and an 80 is everything, a philosophy that colors every story they uncover and every topic they share with their listeners.
