@MattVincenziPGA I'll bet someone $100 straight up Bryson wins a major next year, but with the kicker that if he wins two majors the counterparty pays me an extra $1,000.
no idea if this bet would make sense odds-wise, I just like the structure.
@scottseebohm@AmandaGolf59 Such a bullshit take. Bryson went in winning and came out on top. He did not do great off the tee but he scrambled out of his mind.
The perfect venues.
PGA — Kiawah (you could talk me into Southern Hills)
U.S. Open — Pinehurst (this is reactionary, and you could talk me into Brookline, Shinnecock or Oakmont)
Open — Muirfield (you could talk me into several … Carnoustie, Portrush, Old Course)
Discuss amongst yourselves.
Reminder,
Bryson was not only not picked for the Ryder Cup this year, he wasn’t even considered…
Zach Johnson will go down as one of the worst Ryder Cup Captains ever
@KylePorterCBS Kiawah for sure
Pinehurst would be leader but I could be convinced to add Torrey Pines
Old Course cause of the town and history and Carnoustie stands alone but Lytham so underrated.
Bryson after his round:
- told the fans to meet him on the other side of the range so he could see them
- took pics, chatted, signed, gave a kid his hat, remembered some kids’ names
- walked back inside with security, thanked them all for staying so late
Fan favorite!
@PaigeSpiranac I don’t care that he did this. But it is a reflection on his character.
“But in the end it's still a game of golf, and if at the end of the day you can't shake hands with your opponents and still be friends, then you've missed the point.”

Bryson has heard “USA USA USA” chants all day! It’s unfortunate that, through no fault of his own, he won’t be allowed to represent the USA in the olympics. It’s a flat out joke.
Random thoughts:
1. Bryson is an entertainer AND an incredible player. What a well deserved win.
2. The bunker shot on 18 was one of the best shots ever hit in the history of major championship golf.
3. Bonkers to think that Bryson won't be on the Olympic team. His finishes this year in majors are 6th, 2nd, 1st. Nobody has been better in the majors. Even more bonkers to think he won't be on the presidents cup team. They need to fix golf because as a fan that wants the USA to field the best team, I think Bryson deserves to be there.
4. Disappointing to see Rory not stick around for media. You need to take the good with the bad.
5. It's been a long time since Scheffler was not at the top, or near the top of the leaderboard heading into Sunday. Felt weird.
6. Sure felt like there was some bias in the booth in my opinion. Not a fan of that.
7. The way Bryson engages with the fans is amazing. As a fan I absolutely prefer this over those that are heads down and emotionless. I get why they are heads down and emotionless, but as a fan, Bryson is just so entertaining.
8. Overall Pinehurst was solid. Some things I love, and some things that are not my preference. I am totally fine with run offs around the green, but when you hit a VERY high quality shot and it runs off the green and chases 30+ yards into wiregrass in the waste area, that's just silly.
9. One more major to go! Bring on Royal Troon!
