rsvman2 In what way? Hitting the ball a long way?

Nope. It appears that he arrogantly yelled over at Patrick to 'stop moving' when he was
getting ready to hit a fairway shot. He could have been more polite about it.

      Sergio made birdie on 16 and parred in to finish currently in 29th, inside the cut line of Top 30s. Patrick Reed, recently released from the hospital after fighting double pneumonia, got bumped from the final field since he's been unable to play in these finals and add to his points.

      Eguller I think he said Patrick, stop walking.
      If he was about to hit his approach shot, it is basic etiquette to not walk into his peripheral vision. Sheesh. I would expect that much courtesy from a 20-capper at the local muni.

          True, but the tour pros do it without thinking much about it to save time (for decision making).
          Either way, he could have been more courteous (re: professional) about it IMO.

              I think they were still on the tee box and initially I thought Bryson was telling a fan to stop walking. I thought "good luck with that" since there were 1000s crowded along the finishing holes. Regardless, it's common courtesy and sportsmanship to remain silent and otherwise not distract a fellow competitor.

              We have a guy in our Monday group that used to 'discreetly' pull this crap but he's the most sensitive if you are too close to him on/near the tee box, inadvertent shadows, or breathing.

                    THAT should just about do it for Bryson.

                      Pretty easy to read his lips after that last putt at 17. No longer a family show, I guess, especially after they replayed his lips saying it in slow motion. 'What the f@#§ is going on?' Lol.

                      Anybody want to play Patrick in match play ? Well....?

                      Just got.done with the tape delay. Wow what a playoff.. I'd like to see those guys paired at the RC!

                      Could not have been more true. The contrasting styles made it really fun to watch. Bryson gives himself more Eagle chances when his accuracy is on, but man, he missed so many putt-chances to win that event in the final stretch........that's gotta get in your head.

                          sdandrea1 that's gotta get in your head.

                          It must have gotten in his head. He didn't get into the playoff with mediocre putting - that came later. 🤔

                              I guess one might call that a "choke." 😜

                                I thought Bryson performed amazingly well but yeah the ending was a combo of him not making anything and PC putting out of his skull. It was riveting TV! Gotta sting for BD, but as a fan that was outstanding and he should not hang his head, at least for long! Cannot wait for the Tour Championship and Ryder Cup!

                                  I agree - it was great golf and TV and I just love watching Bryson unleash the driver and how accurate he was most of the time. Overall he putted great, just couldn't make the clutch putt when he needed. A couple of things that I found interesting about him was that he avoided chipping off the green and putted instead - I wonder if he is just not comfortable with the long wedges around the green. I play SL too but my SW and LW are standard wedge length - I predominantly hit these clubs inside 100 yards and never felt comfortable chipping with SL sand and lob wedges.

                                  Another thing I found interesting was that the announcers mentioned a couple of times that there were several instances where Bryson thought he hit a perfect iron shot but the result was way off, either too long or too short. I have experienced this as well and wonder the same thing sometimes - just wondering if this is a SL thing or not. I realize this happens to all of us but I have noticed this kind of thing happens a bit more frequently with my SL clubs. I always figure that it has more to do with my inconsistency but a guy like Bryson with his mechanical swing, it was surprising that it was happening to him too.

                                      shokosugi IMO it's a technique issue with the touch shots, not a length of irons issue. How many times do the announcer say a golfer, and a pro golfer at that, should chip with a 7i and get the ball on the ground asap. They can't have it both ways. It's his upright swing, set up, and rigid motion that is to his detriment around the greens. Tee to green/full shots and on the greens I'd take his game over anyone's, around the greens he is average at best. I see no reason why he couldn't use conventional technique around the greens.....it's.nkt like that would be to his detriment on full swings. The issue is her need a 15th club to use or ditch one.of the others.

                                      Same/similar re: distance control with his wedges...less than full/partial shots...way to rigid. IMO need a bit of fluidity for the feel shots. I don't know how he would do that with his technique. Speaks to just how good he is everywhere else when he stanks around the greens yet still should have won!

                                          Bryson's go for it long game is so much fun to watch, it's got to be good for TV ratings. It's something new and exciting. I gotta wonder how the USGA thinks it's bad for the game. They'd take us back to persimmons if they could, methinks.
