shokosugi I just love watching Bryson unleash the driver
I don't get this, at all. From you, or anyone else that watches the tournaments. Bryson is NOT the longest with the driver, on Tour. Day in/day out/every tournament, he is outdriven on many holes by others. They just may not be playing in his group when they do it, but they are still hitting the ball farther. EVERY tournament. Even JS has been hitting several in the 340 range & he used to only be a 285 hitter. That 340 is very much standard for Rory, and a few others.
Given, the 'stat' says he is the longest, which is bullshit, as they only keep track of 2 holes per round, 1 in each direction. But he is def not the longest overall, and, the ball has to be in the fw to count as a drive.
