As fans, we should be embracing the interaction and emotion this golfer give up. Unlike all the other robots with no emotions and personality, DeChambeau gives us fans what sport fans should get, entertainment and interactions.
Ryan, good work at the press conference in asking the question about the backup driver. While all the others were asking mushy questions about feelings, you actually asked a relevant question. Good man.
Agreed. Those are the questions I enjoy hearing the answers to and perfect for a guy like Bryson that makes interesting equipment choices
Bryson NEVER wanted to be the negative protagonist. The media painted him as such.
No he was definitely a cocky douche. Still is. Go watch old interviews
He is a complete jackass. He took Saudi blood money and bragged about it. A total clown!
ehh. do u have any examples? i dont recall. i dont recall him ever being dislikable either. He's the same person. I feel like Koepka was the dick not Bryson.
Rory got lucky after he badly hooked that drive and the crowd kept it in play. Luck seemed more against Bryson . Was a relief to see him win.
Bryson's passion is furthering golf as entertainment world wide. He is the real deal for youngsters. This is 1959 all over again. I can feel it. Mr. Palmer is looking down and smiling.
I feel like that’s just a bridge too far. He just isn’t as natural as Palmer… still feels a bit awkward at times. That being said, he is just a joy to watch, in tournament and out.
@@blakebarone1809his awkwardness is natural though. Would be a bit inauthentic if he completely was just Arnold Palmer.
Excusing Rory from the press conference by saying we don’t deserve it is ridiculous. When you play a game and win millions for coming in second creates a debt of gratitude that should be paid by showing up to speak to the fans.
Rory owes nobody an explanation...If it's not mandatory to talk to the press..Don't put him to the cross too quickly...Rory has always been gracious with his time with the press/fans..Always...That was a very TOUGH way to end that US Open. He had not one hand on that trophy, but damn near both hands going into hole 15...😢 poor kid...Not to mention going through marital issues 😮 . I'll say it again..Rory owes us nothing....He owes HIMSELF EVERYTHING. .It looked like he was crying immediately after he turned his back to leave the scoring table room. .
Bryson is the man. He was being himself the whole tournament and only liv haters would say negative things about him
Rory made 496 out of 496 putts under 3ft this year until the 16th hole on Sunday. Historic choke job
I just can't agree that he choked. Because those were not gimme putts. The putts are longer than they look on TV and they were not flat table-top putts. The one on #16 was 2 and half feet and the green is sloping to the left. The one on #18 was 3 and a half feet and downhill breaking to the right. Those putts are easy to miss but even easier when you're nervous. So, I wouldn't say that he choked but he certainly did not rise to the occasion.
@@k9jazzy121 yep, he didn't choke , he played great.
I’m a newer golf fan but i found it odd how much attention Rory was paying to what Bryson was doing behind him instead of solely focusing on his own game.
Yeah agree, looks like Bryson was in Rory's head. Continually looking back obviously didn't help as nerves seemed to get the better of him.
@@Mike.A. like it makes sense on 18 having an idea of where brysons at and what Rory needed but he seemed too obsessive about it
Bryson had to pitch out twice today… he overcame bad luck and Rory didn’t
1st hole his ball even rolled into a divot
Yep exactly. Golf media love to push the 'poor Rory' narrative over and over
The Saudis were doing donuts in their Lambos last night for sure.
One of the best LIV players destroyed ALL of the PGA Tour's finest like it was nothing - and the current #1 and last years #1 LIV players weren't even invited to be in the field. The PGA Championship got it right, the USGA need to sort it out and hopefully the R&A do the right thing next month at Royal Troon.
Must we constantly shill? Sheesh
@@ocbosco_LIV and let LIV my friend
@@ocbosco_yes, let's NOT watch the best against the best during majors. Let's only have the politically correct best and the recent major winners who can't be actively forced out.
Remarkable last round from Bryson, especially when you consider most of his approach play was from the ‘native area’
Amazing duel by two great golfers on a very treacherous course. It's amazing they both made so many putts.
Bryson had this colt like atmosphere. I wonder do fans like him like him or did they take a sick pleasure out of golf channel bitching. Kevin Van Volkenberg of No Laying up reported on their saturday recap that Brent Falkus' Bryson's agent and Damon Hack got into a screaming match. He hated that they trashed Bryson but now all of a sudden they are kissing his ass. Bryson only had LIV Houston to get ready for this event and won. Scottie wasnt even a threat. He had a D game at Jacks and won. He brought that same game. I agree with Rex, I can see a lot of them coming for the meeting on Tuesday but w/d and not playing again probably till either Genesis Scottish or John Deere the week before. I think this was a diffciult but fair test. 8 men finished under par with a scoring average of 72.8. I think a lot of them are conditioned to upper teens low twenties winning but here -6 won it. 12 players in the history of the US open being staged here finished under par.
As a Northern Irishman, so sad. 😢😢😢. Very bad loss, Rory in best position since last major win. Rory not talking to media, who can blame him, except journo's! And now returns to wife! Needs 3 weeks to regroup for Scottish Open.
Congrats to Bryson, well done.
Great pods throughout the week. Now back to 😢😢😢.
Yeah Rory definitely displayed himself as a sad boy/poor sport. I understand not wanting to do press conference, but cmon not even a handshake to the man he was battling? Glad people got to see who he truly is when things don't go his way
Joe Lacava was quite quick to give the fore left signal on 18 for Rory's tee shot 😅
Hats off to Joe Lacava
Why does that matter?
@@user-jv5cu4hz3q it goes back to the 2023 Ryder Cup when Lacava and Rory had a spat
It was good fortune for Rory when Bryson 3 putted, Fortune goes both ways. Then Bryson "Won it" on 18th
Rory played great, fantastic. Two short putts that lipped out. He's a great player.
Bryson and his YT channel has changed the perspective on him and really undermined what the mainstream coverage wanted his narrative to be.
Feels like Rory playing the good little corporate shill and attacking other players around the LIV stuff has achieved the exact opposite for him. He has looked like a real snake lately which was never the image he'd crafted for himself.
It's been one of the great combination of heel/face turns in sporting history, even the WWE struggles to script that level of redemption and self destruction.
Rory not sticking around to shake hands with Bryson shows who is the most immature person. But its ok. Rory will get back to the PGA tour and win against very weak fields and believe that he is good enough to be world number 2. Go on Rex, find another way to smash LIV.
Bryson loves to be loved by the fans as any player does. Right now, the difference between him and Rory is that Bryson does not take it for granted.
Like the WWE, you have the heroes and the heels. Bryson is a hero. Brooks is a heel.
And Rory is the slob.
Woulda loved a playoff but man majors have been stellar this year
Bry58n was quite obviously the most popular player at the US Open lmao, like I said yesterday the 'USA USA' chants sure af weren't for Rory or -Iceberg- Aberg 🤣
The USA chants are fine at the Ryder Cup. But whatever idiot was doing that kept yelling while guys were trying to play shots. Clearly a classic combination of alcohol and stupidity.
If they were chanting for Bryson they would have been saying jihad!
The USA chants were garbage, embarrassing crap.
@@admandrumsYou're so edgy 😂🤡🙄.
@admandrums lol you're smart! Keep it up buddy
2:10 That's why Rory made a good decision leaving because its a lose lose if he spoke to the media if he was going to answer question like that guy was going to ask him.
But I dislike Rory bouncing and didn't shake Bryson's hand, that's my only gripe Bryson would have stuck around to shake Rory's if it was the other way around. Shake hands be a good sport and then leave.. They fought till the very end at least he could acknowledge Bryson's last shot that was clutch!
Thats the difference between liv and pga it seems. Bunch of sour people on pga now.
And team mentality on LIV
Classless US golf fans chanting USA, USA in front of international field of golfers, including when Rory was on the green. This is the wonderful world of international golf, not Ryder Cup.
@@zebman9228US open, can't blame them for wanting an American to win
Don’t know where this nonsense came from about Rory not seeking out Bryson to congratulate him. That rarely happens and usually only when the guys are good friends. It’s not like they were in the same group and Rory stormed off and didn’t shake his hand. Rory was in the clubhouse and after he saw that he lost, he left. So, where’s the problem? Should Finau and Cantlay have waited to congratulate him too? They also got beat. Rory had a two-shot lead with four holes to play and he had a meltdown on the last four holes. He had no obligation to stick around and shake Bryson’s hand. Thats one of the problems with the PGA Tour. Too much kumbaya, too much I Luv You Man. The tour needs rivalries not a love fest after each tournament.
Just a couple years ago, the British guy hit a fairway bunker shot on the 72nd hole at The Country Club. THAT was a great shot too!
Time for McIlroy to make a caddie switch. The club error on 15 seems like something a top tier caddie would have helped him avoid. And a top caddie would have had him better primed for those two putts and probably had him use a different tee shot strategy on 18 - a draw with a 3-wood leaves him in the fairway with a wedge to the hole.
Totally agree,diamond is a bag carrier not a caddy.
Don’t understand your comments about Tiger. The man deserves a lot more respect than what you guys give him. But this is how you guys should be discussing Tiger Woods. Please take notes. We got a chance to see the great Tiger Woods at another US Open which he has won three times. He’s only played three times this year so it’s always a special treat to be able to see arguably the greatest player of all time swing the club one more time. Unfortunately he missed the cut by only two shots (not by a mile as one of you guys said) and to put that in perspective, Scottie only beat Tiger by two shots and made the cut on the number.
Tiger played well enough to make the cut. But the tricked out greens and crazy rough was too much to overcome. But he still outperformed guys that are playing every week like Glover, Bennie An, JT, Sungjae Im, DJ, Jason Day, Fowler, Hoge, Willie Z and others. Not bad for a guy with zero prep time. Tiger hit about 80% of fairways, the irons were a bit off but the putter was pretty good so he would have been in contention at any other course.
He had a lot of positives to take away from this week. I think his interview after the tournament has to be put into the proper context. First of all it was immediately after a frustrating missed cut, he was still covered in sweat. So questions about his future or adjusting his prep schedule were not going to be answered in a positive tone. So I don’t think we should try to read too much into that exchange.
But anyway we got another chance to see a walking, living, breathing legend one more time up close. We don’t know how many more times we will see him but let’s cherish every moment. Looking forward to The Open. If he drives the ball as well as he did this week he might be in contention but will definitely make the cut.
That’s the way you guys should be covering Tiger Woods. Show some respect for a legend. You guys show Scottie more respect than you do Tiger. And what has Scottie really done? He’s on a hot streak right now but we will have to see how long it will last. Sure you can crunch Scotties numbers and dig up a few golly gee stats. But let me remind you of the only four stats that matter regarding Tiger and the game of golf, I won’t bother telling you what they are because you know what they are: 683 - 142 - 82 - 15. All the other stats you dig up concerning Scottie and anyone else ain’t worth a hill of beans.
Is the media purposely not talking about Dechambeau's comeback win and decided to flood our ears with Rory crap?
Yes. Those of the fakestream media are evil people.
Bryson was great and handled himself like a true champion, but Rory going 3 over par in the 4 holes is more of the story. To see someone miss two short putts in 3 holes is what will be just as remembered as Bryson hitting that incredible bunker shot. Also, Rory running away and not answering questions will also be remembered. He should have stayed and taken his medicine.
Brysons major record this year clearly shows he’s number 1 in the world
No way No.1! DeChambeau plays second rate LIV golf, no cuts, 54 holes with mostly has been low rated golfers.
@@stevenromero1204 his major record is better than anyone’s this year - that’s the truest measurement
@@stevenromero1204second rate huh? Go check the major winners in the last 10 years.
@@stevenromero1204yeah, 4 majors in two years? What a bunch of has-beens. Can't possibly compete at majors, oh wait...
I disagree about that being Rory's most crushing defeat. I think what we witness was the best golfers going toe to toe. Probably the best Open Championship. No loser. Both winners in my books.
I think I could have agreed with you had Rory stayed and shook hands with Bryson. His actions immediately after his round show that he is definitely a sore loser. That is what losers do and how immature spoiled human beings behave.
I agree. Sportsmanship was lacking. That is a shame after a fierce battle.
Uh, no. One person won, everyone else lost. That's what competition is all about for an event like this.
I think how Bryson handled his loss against Xander in the PGA was much better than Rory’s showing at the US Open.
Rory choked so bad his wife is filing for divorce 😂
With the divorce, he'll have to choke the chicken too😅
Rory should not be excused for running away from the press room. It is hard to overcome a loss if you let it eat you up. Face the pain, learn from the mistakes, and be an overcomer.
Rory won over $2 million in this tournament. That’s not a lot of hurt.
You honestly think a dude worth hundreds of millions of dollars is happy that he choked for 2 million? Dudes not a poor.
Regarding the course, I think that one thing that muted complaints was the width of the fairways. The native areas could have killer lies, but the players had to know that if you were in those areas you had hit a really bad drive and deserved it. They hate the narrow fairway/vicious rough combination because decent drives can still leave them dead.
Not congratulating Bryson was low… poor spot. I get it, it suck. Nod your head, shake a hand, then go home and cry..
I think that the skepticism about Bryson being himself or not is lost by some media who haven't followed him on TH-cam. Watch the videos where he plays games against his fellow LIV members. It's good fun and you get to see his competitive self and his fun self. I think you can get a good picture of his personality. He's pretty close to what you see.
Re: Scottie, Im surprised that no one touched on lack of sleep with a newborn and the attention to family that someone like Scottie would devote as opposed to devoting normal attention to preparation
2016 Troon - Stenson & Mickelson was a classic dual, they played some of the best golf you'll see. They left everyone else way way behind.
Rory's divorce back on 😜
Karma
@@pauljcross2289 The wedding invitation thing? It only screwed up Wozniacki's career for a year or two.🙄
@@meles3740 Not just that, the 2 years of solid hatred and abuse Rory gave LIV players and Phil and Greg and the Saudi's etc....a truly shameful display - especially when he backed Jay Monahan using the 9/11 families to try to discredit LIV and the Saudi's, that was truly disgusting, but the pro PGAT media just sweep that under the rug and pretend it never happened.
Typical Rory, cant finish something he started.
I don’t agree that this is the perfect venue for a US Open. The greens were too tricked out. You can’t have slopes that close to the pin so the greens did not reward great shots. The rough was too inconsistent with all that shrubbery out there. It was like playing on a desert. Some balls would land in the fairway and roll into the junk. They need to grow deep grass so the rough can be consistent and don’t over trick the greens. So no this was not the perfect place for a US Open, not even close.
Scottie, Xander, Cantalay, Rory boring, no fan connection.Great shots should be celebrated by the players, its ok to fist pump and wave to crowd.
Totally agree.
I think the biggest shock for me was his driving choice on 18….all that pressure, tied at that point, and instead of going with his go-to draw, or even the low punch runner he’d been using throughout the weekend, he tries to play a fade and winds up in the junk left…and while he punched out to a decent spot, his chip went too far, leaving him a treacherous downhill putt…I think when Rory eventually talks about this, he will question why he tried to pull off the fade on 18 instead of his normal shot…
Rex...an idiot could see that a Bryson is worth more than a Scottie and a dozen other pga guys combined...especially as Tiger cannot show up anymore with any type of game. The fans and im sure the sponsors will make this happen.
Rex is the new Brandel
Rex and the rest of his cohorts act like a bunch of giddy teenagers at a Taylor Swift concert every time the Shuffler hit a simple wedge shot. They need to take it down several notches. I have to disagree that Tiger didn't show up with any type of game. He outperformed guys that are playing every week like Glover, Bennie An, JT, Sungjae Im, DJ, Jason Day, Fowler, Hoge, Willie Z and others. Not bad for a guy with zero prep time. Tiger hit about 80% of fairways, the irons were a bit off but the putter was pretty good so he would have been in contention at any other course. So you are incorrect, he actually showed up with a nice game. He hit about 80% of the fairways, the irons were a bit off but the putter was fine. He missed the cut by two shots at a tricked-out course that did not reward good shots. That sounds pretty good to me.
But Tigers presence alone enhances any tournament. We should simply be thankful that we're still getting a chance to see this walking, living, breathing legend still playing the game. To show up at the US Open with zero prep and miss the cut by two shots and outplay a host of other young guns that play every week. That's good stuff! What part of that is negative? Some of you folks are just living in an alternate reality.
Rex needs to be gone
He missed twice inside FOUR feet. Not five feet
Looked like 3 feet on 18
2.5 feet on 16… i think 4’ on 18
It was 2.6 feet and 3.9 feet
That last one was probably tougher than a straight 10 footer though
I think we should give Rory a little bit of a break. The putts always look shorter on TV and you can't see how it's breaking. On TV it looks like a 5-year old could just go up and tap it in. But they were not flat tabletop putts. They both had a good bit of break and the 2nd one was downhill. But as a pro, you gotta make those.
they stick the Memorial right before this tournament, and the Wells Fargo before the PGA. why don't they just go ham and put the API right before the Masters...
They probably schedule the signature events before and after the majors because the sponsors of those events need to get as many eyeballs as possible to help cover those huge purses. They want to capitalize on the excitement before the major and the momentum after the major. If I was sponsoring one of the signature events, I would want all the top players there or I wouldn't do it. But I don't think it's a sustainable business model. The players are burnt out by the time they get to the third tough event. They can withdraw, but I think they can only miss one and after that they get fined $250,000 for each one they don't play.
Just a HUGE choke by the Royster, he was playing the best golf of his life; and was tearing up the course, even with that unbelievable 6 on the par 5; where he got such a bad break on the approach, it should have been an eagle; instead a bogey. But, he recovered nicely and birdied 3 of the first 4 holes on the back 9; meanwhile, the chambeeno is scrambling like a squirrel for nuts before winters bone.
Rory's most crushing loss was losing the 150th Open Championship at the Old Course. He is a UK/Euro guy after all and the Open Championship is the biggest major for them. Winning the 150th on the Old Course would have been even more special.
Great win for Liv golf 💪
Yeah great win for Saudi LIV 54 hole, no cut, mostly has been low rated golfers. The PGA is real American golf. USA USA USA!
😂
Where's Scottie?? Stop the Scottie v Field B.S.
Scottie's great, but his putting has been horrific in the past. Under extreme pressure it's not going to hold up. Being thrown in jail at Valhalla and then having potential court appearance on Tuesday is going to shake up any player. Nelly Korda took a 10 on a par 3 and her confidence is now shredded. Neither player was ever going to keep it up forever. If both had lights out putting they'd dominate. Tiger's best years he was rolling the rock. Jordan Speith peak putting amazing. Scottie and Nelly have a long way to go in that department.
@@meles3740 Scottie is overrated af by golf media, some of us have been saying for weeks now how cringey it is to hear comparisons to 'prime Tiger Woods' when he's only won 2 majors in 5 years and both were on the same golf course ffs lol - and most of that credit goes to his caddie who also won 2 Masters with Bubba Watson
Yup! Cringey as hell.... when you think Tiger dominated for like 10 years winning 2 grand slams....yup, Scottie's got a long way to go!@@SiLoMixMaster
@SiLoMixMaster Overrated 😂🤡. He literally had one of the best stretches in golf history. That being said, I agree they kept trying to make him and Rory the chosen ones.
Dude has a newborn, have you ever been through those sleepless nights? Give Scottie a break.
Awesome podcast ❤
Besides Bryson, the next happiest guy he got up & down on 18 was the marshall who Bryson's drive bounced off and into the horrible lie under the tree branch and beside the root...otherwise it was heading for an open area or near enough the stands to get free relief and an easy pitch
Yea what was he looking at
Yup, he would have gotten line of sight relief
It didn’t hit anyone. Watch again
He got so lucky all day in the waste areas so stop
@@Jackielikeskillersmiles yes it did
I love how people are now all skeptical about Bryson’s personality and interaction with the fans…is it real or just an act??? WHO CARES? Their job is to entertain the fans…people forget these guys make millions to play golf because they draw fans (potential customers for the sponsors)…if they are boring to watch, people will stop watching…when I watch golf, it’s like watching a movie…I don’t question whether the actors in the film are really like the people they portray? Don’t care…entertain me, period. People did the same thing to Phil…Tiger was a complete A$$ hole to the fans and media, so there was nothing to question there….we just accepted him for what he was because he was the best, and that alone was entertaining.
I agree that Bryson is being genuine, and I think it's great for the game. I've always said that half the talent and all the personality went to the LIV Tour and the PGA Tour has been struggling ever since. Most of the golfers have sports psychologists that teach them to not get too high or too low. So, they end up acting like a bunch of robots and it's hard for fans to know how to react. I mean if a golfer doesn't seem to care if he missed or made a putt, then why should we.
Fans like it when sports figures show emotion. That's what made Tiger so popular. We knew he wanted to win more than anything because he wore his emotions on his sleeve. You got the fist pump and the club twirl when he was happy, and you got the club toss and loud cuss words when he wasn't and most of us loved it. Sure, a lot of people didn't like his antics and a lot of people still don't like Tiger to this day. But that's a good thing because in order to be popular you have to have some haters. Tiger has more haters than Scottie has fans and that's one of the things that make Tiger so popular. I don't think Scottie will ever reach Tiger's popularity because he doesn't have enough haters. 😵💫
I think you're way over the top by saying Tiger was an a-hole to fans and media. I mean he interacted with the fans and media when he needed to but when he was playing, he was focused and he wanted to keep his foot on the players necks and never let up. But keep in mind that before Tiger there were a lot fewer fans and a lot less media, so you may not have approved of his methods, but his antics didn't hurt the game, he grew the game into what it is today. It's always disappointing to hear people disrespect the GOAT.
In the book the 48 Laws of Power by Robert Green, one of the Laws of Power is to remain mysterious. And never let people know exactly what you're doing or what you're thinking. Appear to make decisions spontaneously or wait until the last minute. In other words, keep people guessing about everything about you including your health, your job, your family and all your plans and only provide information in small tidbits that will keep them wanting more and hanging on your every word whenever you speak. The book says if you follow the Law of Power to remain mysterious, you will become a very popular and powerful person. It sounds like Tiger may have read that book.
You guys talk about Rory as if he owns the championship.Bryson are the better player on the day.Mentally he is stronger than Rory
You guys need to stop making excuses for Scottie whenever he doesn’t play well. He’s the #1 player on the PGA Tour but that doesn’t mean that he has perfected the game. He’s on a hot streak, he’s deadly with his irons and he’s accurate with the driver but he still has the yips on short putts. Ands that’s what hurt him this week. His driver was okay but anything off the fairway was in the junk and you had to get lucky to have a decent lye. So you don’t have to over analyze it, he just didn’t play well and almost missed the cut. He was only two shots better than Tiger and he’s only played three times all year. So just stop it. Scottie didn’t play well, end of story.
If Rex was going to ask stupid questions like that glad Rory bounced. Rate this loss and put it somewhere on a totem poll of losses. W@nker
To Lav's point...at last week's LIV event in Houston, Bryson took time to sign autographs and take pictures IN BETWEEN SHOTS! I know this because my grandson (19yrs) and his buddies were the recipients. Do you think the PGA Tour would allow this? How about NO!
The Stenson/Mickelson battle at the Open in 2016
Rex, stop it. Good grief man.
Rex is coping so hard. Bryson was clearly the most loved player there this weekend and the results show why: he has balls.
Rory talked all that s$&t just to choke
You go win a us open!
Rory's wife is laughing her a__ off.
'LIV players are washed up, they know they can't win on the PGA Tour anymore - that's why they joined LIV' - Rory 2022 & 2023
Brooks and Bryson have both won majors since joining LIV and have stated publicly many times that they have no regrets joining LIV. Rory hasn't won a major for 10 years and nobody can blame LIV for that because Rory has never played on LIV before 🤣
Lee Trevino was a great showman / golfer and probably saved golf in the 70‘s. Good for you Bryson. Follow his example. Rory could have stayed to congratulate Bryson, but I would have left too in anticipation of this commentator‘s stupid, insulting question, as if he EVER came close to achieving in his profession the status that Rory has in golf.
Liv it up ⛳
In the end, although the last 9 holes was incredibly entertaining, I didn’t find the rest of the Open very entertaining…when greens are so penal, there really isn’t a chance for fireworks…everyone putted defensively, which was very boring…that’s nice for a bunch of holes, but for every hole, it was a bit much….it was the same thing…land it here, or it runs off the green and your chipping or putting…rinse, repeat for the next hole…would have appreciated more variety with some holes set up for people to attack and make birdies…not many since it’s a US Open, but needed more chances…
Rory is unlike TW. Every time TW plays, people expect him to win.Rory? Nayyyy
Sooky sooky roy boy
I think Tiger just isn't a potential winner or contender any more. Too much accumulated wear and tear, with too many severe injuries. So, is he willing to be a ceremonial player? He could still do that if he wanted.
Does it really matter where this loss ranks? It was very tough obviously and that’s all you need to know. If he told you it was his worse loss, then what? What do you gain from that information? Any one of us in that situation would be devastated. Just give him some time to lick his wounds. He will be back and I think he may just win at Royal Troon.
Royster threw it away; inexcusable 3 bogues in the last 4 holes.
Total nonsense about the course. Too many shots were playing from areas that are like GUR (ground-under-repair). Those areas should be only be in play when you are more wayward on the hole.
The run-off area on 5th on Friday grabbing the balls of scheff, Xander & Rory was a farce. Scheff ball landed softly on the green and gets punished into GUR.
The inconsistency of lies in those GUR areas is ridiculous. You can’t practice for that.
I hope to not see the GUR so close to the greens and fairways in the future at Pinehurst #2.
I totally agree that this not a good venue for a US Open. The greens were too tricked out. You can’t have slopes that close to the pin because the greens will not reward great shots. That par 5 on the back nine prevented Tiger from making the cut. He hit the green in two but the ball rolled past the cup and over the green and down into the junk and he had to settle for par instead of having an eagle look. The rough was too inconsistent with all that shrubbery out there. It was like playing on a desert. Some balls would land in the fairway and roll into the junk. They need to grow deep grass so the rough can be consistent and don’t over trick the greens. So, no this was not the perfect place for a US Open, not even close.
ffs Rex either put the glasses on or get lenses Better still , stick to radio. Painful to watch....
Rex behavior seems a bit odd. Talented broadcaster, but dude is acting a bit strange.
😂 you guys are so mad
Rory will remain mentally tough and he will have another opportunity. Take Jordan Spieth Masters disaster where he quad bogeyed the 12th and he never really recovered again. Rory will be back.
But Rory got three birties on though holes that put him in that situation. He was due for a bogey but not three. It happens for a reason. Both champions
More about Brysons win less about Rory loss.
In essence both bottled it. Accept rory bottled it so much more and bryson hit a worldy of a bunker shot on 18th.
Misleading title. It would have been if it went to a playoff.
Johnson Wagner stuck that pin closer than Bryson in the dark from the same spot 😂 Rory lost that a little bit more than Bryson won it. Just a little.
Yeah he got it closer …… with his 2nd attempt, after airmailing his first over the green. He also had nothing on the line.
@@chriso1300 plus there wasn't 20,000 fans watching live and several million on TV.
In regards to where does this loss rank for Rory... Who cares? In that moment, what do you expect the guy to say? This is a dude who asks questions for a living 😂
Poor Rory, he should have won.
Lucky on the lies...pitching and putting for par at Pinehurst? This is the worst
The 2 tours can't merge...that is a ridiculous idea.
They will compete in 4 Majors a year and the pro-PGA anti-LIV sentiment of the Majors has to disappear to end the feud between the tours and they should invite LIV golfers fairly...and maybe they should remember the group that determines the success or failure of golf...fans!
Make it simple...scrap the Presidents Cup but keep the team...add a LIV team...and have a Round Robin Tournament end of every year with the 4 teams (USA, European, Presidents and LIV)...easy as pie!
I also think they should invite the LIV players to the Signature events and make the cut the top 60 and the players within 10 shots of the lead. Also give the LIV players world ranking points if they play well and FedEX points so they can qualify for the playoffs.
Don’t know where this nonsense came from about Rory not seeking out Bryson to congratulate him. Since when has that ever happened? Someone please show me an image. It’s not like they were in the same group and Rory stormed off and didn’t shake his hand. Rory was in the clubhouse and after he saw that he lost, he left. So where’s the problem? Did Finau and Cantlay seek out Bryson to congratulate him? They got beat too. Rory had a two shot lead with four holes to play and he had a meltdown on the last four holes. He had not obligation to stick around and shake Bryson’s hand. So please just stop it.
Karma is a bitch
In all truth. We don’t know any of these players to say this. People aren’t always as bad as u think at their lows
I don't like Rory but to say he owes it to you to show up at a press conference and answer your questions about where this ranks in terms of his losses..... your re delusional. No one cares about your article
Stfu Rex. Why are golf journalists so insufferable lately? Grow a pair and show up in the comments. Arent you trying to grow this podcast?
Rory threw the championship so he would have less money to split with his ex-wife😂
Congratulations, now go back and play for the Saudis and second rate LIV...the PGA is American golf. USA USA USA!
Stay mad! LOL
Don't know where else to post this, but Paul McGinley and Brandell Chamblee need to be sacked. They are so out of tune with the game at this point it's embarrassing. Lostening to McGinley choke back admiration for Dehambeau was disgraceful. C'mon, it's time for those to to go. The fact that you think, "Is this your worst loss of your career?" isn't a legitimate question shows how out of tune you are with professional athletes. Golf Channel is terrible in every respect.
Yes let's sack everyone until they all say everything you agree with. Not everyone thinks like you mate and that's a good thing.
Imagine the U.S. open being won by a Saudi.
He's a Texan gramps. Time to move on old man.
