Love it!  I know of a few WRXers who are going to lose their minds.

[8602081]

That's if he can control the driver.

 

I think the ratings will be high, because of him..

 

I would love to see him dominate this course..

 

[TomBomb51]

If the putter cooperates, dude might win by 5

[golfandfishing]

Curious what he made on 3......

Hey, if he can rock the house, be great to see and everyone will be happy for him.

 

And if he screws the pooch, be great to see and everyone will be happy as well.

 

So, is like win-win ; )

Bryson who? The guy whose best finish in the tournament is T21? Is there another Bryson in the tournament that I don't know about?

 

I'm real impressed with the way he carved up the practice course, he'd set the course record from the ladies tees no doubt. Unfortunately for him the actual tournament setup is so far and away from the setup he played.

 

Nice to see TW flying under the radar just like last year, ready to sneak in and win the thing. BDC is 50/50 to make the cut.

[Greenskeeper13]

Gunna be fun to watch that's for sure.. 

 

November at Augusta  gunna change things a bit too. might not get those huge roll outs .

Score is the ultimate currency of golf, not driving distance.

But it's fun to drive the green on a par 4 and 3 putt for par 🤣

[Dicka]

Why wouldn't you just watch a Remax comp? About as exciting.

+1...I may be most excited about the prospect of him and others taking on 3.  Seems like they do in practice rounds but never try much in competition.  My grandfather and I sat on 3 and 4 for years...he would be out of his mind seeing players driving 3.

[KennyP]

Is he going with the 48" driver?

I’ll take that bet. $500 in an escrow paypal that Bryson makes the cut?

His PW is exactly the same loft as my 8-iron. Is this a new low in lofts? (pun intended...)

I want to say that I read his lofts are all over the place due to the single length iron deal, to get the right gaps.

Nah.  As I said before. I’ll pull for him if he’s in contention.  ( minus tiger of course ). Most don’t hate his accomplishments.  Just the whole direction of the games travel.  Anyway. That’s all I have on that.   Don’t believe me ?  Pay attention during coverage.  If he’s up there I won’t be posting against him.  In fact he’s the best  friend of all pro rollbackers.  Think about it. Lol.  Anyway.  Just wanted to add that , no need to argue further.  I hope he wins in dramatic style .

I might not be the chairman but I’m definitely on the management committee for the wrx rollback crew, and I certainly hope he wins.

 

he deserves his success, and if he does do anything approaching a Tiger 97, golf may finally change its rules and regulations for the better.

[Oliver Klozoff]

One day he will hit it as far as most golfwrx'ers.

[cardoustie]

I think there are sets out there with PW under 40* ... so his set is technically weak

After the remnants of Eta roll through, the course is going to play plug city.

BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!! Bryson spotted with new putter at the Masters. Super excited and his Grandma will get to keep her house if he beats Shooter in a play off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dr. Block]

Really soft course conditions will put Bryson in the catbird seat. I didn't think his approach game would be up to the task under typical firm conditions, but if it's soft, he'll be able to drop wedge shots on the pins from anywhere without having to be overly concerned with shape, spin, or trajectory control.

This is so good, can't wait to see them adding some Lady Gaga music to this long driving competition!

Precisely, you can go back and forwards over the green all day on 3 

[cardoustie]

I recall Adam Scott not long ago parring 3 when he was 1 step over the back with his tee ball

Nope. Soz. They have just spoken to him, not a surprise to me. He's looking at the bunker carries/accuracy tradeoff. No reason to use it unless its go for broke time
