Bryson Bonkers
Another victory for single length irons. 
- Edited
The eagle was huge, what a helluva shot, played solid down the stretch with some nice lag putting!
Bonkers all the way to the bank. 
Had you told me in January that Bryson would win 4x before the end of the year, I would've laughed. I didn't think he was a fluke by no means, but I didn't know he had it in him to play as well as he has over the past 11 months.
Just gotta give him his due props. Heckuva year, making a lotta coin. He may be golf's mad scientist, but he's living the dream.
Agreed, an absolutely incredible year with 4 wins in 2018 and the year isnt done ( yes I know this win was for next year s season) but still 4 wins in 2018.
Always knew this kid was a special talent and glad to see him do so well. Hes young and learning and will only get better IMO. I can definitely see a major or a few in his future .
He's a little unconventional and a brilliant egg head ......different makes some people uncomfortable so they choose to be negative towards him . These folks are Probably also a bit jealous that he is so much smarter than them.
Golf is incredibly boring so it needs some characters that go against the stodgy and boring traditional norms. Guys like Lee Trevino, Chi Chi, John Daly, Tiger , Bubba, Bryson dont fit the mold and make golf so much more interesting. Golf needs more characters .

mikeintopeka Sorry for the off topic post, but in response to Mike's post, I have to clarify that Bryson is only dating that girl for one thing. Sex? Tits? Nope. It's simply a physics problem for him. He's trying to figure what keeps her upright. From all the physics I know, she should fall over.
(By the way, not to knock anyone's girlfriend, but is there anything real about this girl. She's pretty easy on the eye, but she has more silicone in her than that California valley I hear so much about.)

She does sort of have that look like really good CGI that isn't quite good enough to pass for human. Features too exaggerated to be believable. But she's real, supposedly! Pictures can be deceiving. Lots of "enhancement" in a lot of online images. She may not look so... Waxy? In real life.

You do know that Silicon Valley is not pronounced "Silicone"?
Silicon is a chemical element with symbol Si and atomic number 14. It is a hard and brittle crystalline solid with a blue-grey metallic lustre; and it is a tetravalent metalloid and semiconductor. It is a member of group 14 in the periodic table: carbon is above it; and germanium, tin, and lead are below it.
Silicones, also known as polysiloxanes, are polymers that include any inert, synthetic compound made up of repeating units of siloxane, which is a chain of alternating silicon atoms and oxygen atoms, combined with carbon, hydrogen, and sometimes other elements. They are typically heat-resistant and either liquid or rubber-like, and are used in sealants, adhesives, lubricants, medicine, cooking utensils, and thermal and electrical insulation. Some common forms include silicone oil, silicone grease, silicone rubber, silicone resin, and silicone caulk.

That's why I love this golf forum. It's not just about golf; one can learn about many other things also. I like knowing that fake boobies will not catch fire whilst being, er….let's say 'rubbed with the putter' (just to keep it a golf related discussion).

Well, I'm a Bryson detractor -- his pace of play and demeanor on the course drive me crazy. I fast forward every time he comes on the TV. But, it sounds like he is a pretty nice guy. Here is a summary of a couple of guys' experience with him in a Pro Am. I would link to the actual article, but the link that was provided along with this summary leads to an entirely different article.
A pro-am with Bryson...
Can you imagine what it's like to in one of pro golf's unique pre-tournament 5-hour spectacles?
Golf Digest's Joel Beall talks with a few of the men who teed it up with golf's mad scientist.
"Bryson gave us a big warm greeting and was opposite of aloof," said George Kaelin, an attorney and former owner of Full Swing Golf. "He remained engaging and interested in us. There was a ton of trash taking that was surprising. He told me he wasn't use to giving reads to a guy who had side spin on putt."
That outlooked was seconded by Ramsey.
"Upon meeting Bryson, I knew that there was a gap in the public perception of Bryson and the real Bryson," Ramsay said. "He was very warm, fun, and easy to engage with. I was clearly the worst golfer of our foursome, and he took time to help me with my swing. He said, 'It's all about your radius, so I want you to show me you can hit behind the ball.' When I did that, he remarked that he could see that I had 'radius control' so he taught me to tap the ground in front of the ball before every swing; I now do this every time as I feel it helps me create the right radius.
Lol, teaching him about radius control..... Gotta love this guy. Engaging in pro am yet still himself. I'd love to play a round with him just for shits and giggles.
I'm a fan. I like guys that challenge the norm, especially when they can show the new way to be successful. I was a fan of Alan Doyle, Trevino, etc. They made their way work and made a living at it. I chuckle at the guys over in WRX that stress over how their swing "looks", with no concern for ball flight.
Count me as a fan. I don't know that I'd want to hang out with him after a round, but he is interesting. Who knows, his style could be the norm one day. Before Tiger, pretty much only Gary Player was working out and now almost every guy on tour is in great shape. If Bryson keeps winning, we may see more young players taking physics classes.
I like the kid a lot. I don't mind his OCD penchant as it relates to the science of golf. He comes across as a likable personality and seems approachable - two things that most fans appreciate and respect very much.
As long as he's not holding up play, playing slowly... I don't know that he has that reputation on tour, but it just seems like it could potentially become an issue at some point if it hasn't already. Then again - they're all freaking slow, for the most part. Except Rickie. It's one of the biggest reasons I like Fowler. He doesn't dawdle and fiddle fart around when it's his turn to play. He sets a good example to the kids playing the game today.
I too enjoy players who express a certain individuality about themselves. Huge fan of Tony Finau.... I think he's on the cusp of stepping through the major championship doorway. Huge fan of Matt Kuchar, how even when he's having a bad day he just seems to take things in stride and is eager to smile.
Speaking of Kuchar... apparently Zach Johnson's caddie (Damon Green) was struggling with the heat and humidity yesterday. He was in no shape, given his age, to carry on. Zach needed someone to fill-in immediately, as he didn't want Damon to end up in the hospital. Who filled in? Matt Kuchar's wife. She carried Zach's bag the remaining holes.
We often say that our dream foursome would be so-and-so, so-and-so, and so-and-so. Gotta be honest with ya - he may never win a major championship - but Matt Kuchar seems like he'd be a fun guy to play a round of golf with, someone who you could relate to.
Back to Bryson. Just keep doing what you're doing, young fella. But take a moment every once in a while to smile a little more often. It's not like you're pumping crap out of septic tanks for $14/hour for a living. You don't know how long the storybook ride lasts. Enjoy it. Don't take it for granted.
