Since hitting his tee shot into the water on 17 which seemed like it ended it, Cantlay: -Got up-and-down from the drop area with a 8 ft bogey putt on 17 -Birdied the hardest hole on the course (18) with a 22 ft putt -Multiple 7-10 ft. par putts in the playoffs to survive -Tee shot to 3 ft on 17 for birdie -18 ft birdie putt on 18 for the win
that was by far the most compelling golf of the year. clear villain and hero. great shots by both players. saving par from weird spots. hammering home birdie putts. absolute death stares from both.
Had a skinny Bryson on the course today. White Puma driving cap, light blue shirt, white pants, graphite shafted irons. Even looked like him a bit in the face and acted like a total fuckwad during our one random interaction. It was cute
Apologies for the dear diary post, but I’m still on my journey back after a long hiatus, so the little things excite me. Switched from an older Titleist 910 D3 to a TM M5 and picked up like 30 yards with better accuracy. I had so much fun yesterday. What is this voodoo?
Yeah that "fan" is a douchebag for sure but Bryson absolutely has to stop reacting to that shit otherwise it's only going to continue to happen. There are more than enough morons out there who are willing to yell anything because they think it'll get a reaction.
Was shocking to actually hear the crowd cheer when his ball went in the water. Usually it’s just a quiet “ohhhh”
I get that it is fun to shit on Bryson, but in the other side of this is the Barstool army. It's the new version of Mashed Potatoes/BabaBooey. No one on earth is annoying enough to push me over to that side.
Brendan just poking in "I'm sorry, this has been a disaster, CAN YOU HEAR ME?" When the episode starts with Andy's disclaimer about how bad it was that digressed into the difference between a native and resident you knew big things were ahead.
Sounds like it was getting out of hand to the point where Maltbie was ready to fight people yelling Brooksie.
I hate Bryson as much as the next guy but showing up at a tournament to heckle him is a dick move and those fans can fuck off
100% this. It’s not a team sport so doing that shit just feels gross even if it’s to an asshole like Bryson. Just cheer the good shots or the handful of guys that aren’t scumbags.
Anybody who yells mashed potato, get in the hole every shot, or Brooksie is a loser. Some of the guys at these events seem like major d-bags.
Bryson could have driven for the tour to do something about the fan behavior but I’m willing to bet a lot of his colleagues have had input into the decision as well. It sucks for them playing with him.
I know this is shocking to a lot of you, but Brooksie is promoting an event with lord of the shitlords, Dave Portnoy. still, fuck Bryson
This is such a weird catch 22. On one hand you want to grow the game and get more fans. On the other hand you want everyone to respect the game like golf purists. There's going to be some culture clash.
So I drive out to Denver/csprings/Estes maybe once a year or every other year. I’ve always wanted to take like a week and stop and play as many courses as I can that I pass.
In other crazy news from Monahan’s presser yesterday, the Tour is not going to disclose the players that receive PIP money. That seems insane to me that they would make such a big deal of this $40MM that is being dispersed but then say they don’t want to tell fans who the most “impactful” players are
They probably don’t want to be transparent about their model for determining the ten players who receive funds.
That definitely seems reasonable, especially when you consider the on course performance of someone like Rickie who is almost assuredly in that top 10
