misidentified champion Brooks Koepka\u2019s girlfriend Jena Sims<\/a> as his ex-girlfriend Becky Edwards. The mistake occurred during a celebratory between Koepka and his now wife after he won the U.S. Open. It was a blunder that went down as Buck\u2019s, but just as with Kutcher and the 2006 NLCS, he was reading the information off a notecard that was handed to him by someone behind-the-scenes.<\/p>\n\ufeff
\u201cThat was on a notecard from a guy who helped me countless times during that week of the U.S. Open, making me appear way smarter or way more well-read or way more well-versed on the PGA Tour than I otherwise would have been,\u201d Buck told Kutcher. \u201cAnd he handed me a card with the wrong name on there and I read the card and then [Brad] Faxon corrected, \u2018No, that\u2019s his new girlfriend, Jena Sims.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I felt sick about it. Because we had just taken punch after punch on Fox Golf and it was the last thing we had on the air before we said goodbye and we had been on for five days, it was a lot of work and it was like, \u2018Oh my God, I just let everybody down by that stupid embarrassing moment. And you feel like the world\u2019s talking about and really, nobody cares.\u201d<\/p>\n
Really, nobody cares. But that didn\u2019t stop the mistake from spreading like wildfire on social media. And had it happened after the first round of the tournament, it may have been forgotten. But like Buck said, the fact that the mistake essentially closed out Fox\u2019s coverage of the U.S. Open, it turned the clip into a lasting memory.<\/p>\n
The next day, Buck called into The Dan Patrick Show where he addressed the mistake, and he\u2019s referenced it several times<\/a> since. But it was ultimately a moment everyone had some fun with and just a minor blip during Fox\u2019s five years covering golf, a run that successfully showed off Buck\u2019s range as a broadcaster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Joe Buck is very proud of his years covering golf for Fox, but the blunder of misidentifying Brooks…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":34101,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[19412,28282,1430,28283,28284,62,28285,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-34100","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-brooks-koepka","9":"tag-fox-golf-coverage","10":"tag-golf","11":"tag-joe-buck","12":"tag-justin-kutcher","13":"tag-sports","14":"tag-the-justin-time-podcast","15":"tag-united-states","16":"tag-unitedstates","17":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114786824864714369","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34100","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34100"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34100\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34101"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34100"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34100"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34100"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
