Not going to be the most popular winner but fair play to him for reaping the rewards of his hard work, going to make many other re-examine their approach thats for sure

Fingers crossed...
Also, what time did they start? They're only 13 holes through on a pretty compact course. Maybe it was later than I remember...

deserves to lose it? really?

you sound as desperate as the comms for him not to win

Yes, maybe, but to me, his abuse of a cameraman yesterday should have seen him dq'd. These guys are just doing a job. A multimillionaire golfer should not be able to sound off at a guy just doing his job.

Must have missed this.

I saw him after the round ask for 2 minutes to himself. But was done in a. Polite Manor.

wasnt Bryson just trying to do his job an d complaining about being impeded upon?

cant see what he said was even close to a DQ but he seems to be fair game for any and every criticism currently, a lot of people arent going to enjoy the next few years of professional golf!

Given his social media blitz on how he has muscled up, hitting bombs, how much he eats, etc, he is current box office. You get that much attention, that you look for, you have to accept what goes with it. Not have a hissy fit.

That said, no, I don't like him. He just makes everything look awkward, and as for being 'the scientist', hmm.

Nope he was just bitching about being filmed being an arse - I've photographed Bryson and if he had been doing something stupid when I did I'd have kept hitting the shutter.

Having said that I generally like him and certainly wouldn't be upset if he won - makes better viewing with him struggling a bit to get over the line though.

Have you got money on him?

#justasking? ?


nah not a fan of backing 6/1 shots in 100+ runner fields, struggling to have a bet when you dont know if youre horse is gonna pull out with covid mid tourney too

just dont get the hating on someone whos clearly working hard on bettering himself just because he doesnt use the usual text book

not all my opinions are betting driven btw

I don't think he was 'impeded'. He had a strop after duffing a shot and then chewed out the cameraman who filmed him.
Bryson's job is to entertain television viewers for money.

Absolutely not - but you added the question that he may be being being impeded by the cameraman - he very definitely wasn't.


you dont think continuing to film him when hes having an off moment and not actually about to hit a shot is not impeding in anyway or are all shots fair game on the course?

The media filmed Sergio trash a bunker, spit in the hole, throw a golf shoe. It goes with the job. If you do it, own it, and ecpect it to be on film.
