This may have already posted but I don't recall it - some of Rory's comments on Bryson. Actually none of it new but perhaps from a bigger voice.
Was about his prowess from the rough (having launched one into it ?).
His higher lofted clubs are all one length - so he can generate more club head speed than those using standard length. His one plane upright swing aids a steep angle of attack for accessing the ball.
Wonder how many promising teenagers are already following his lead...

I thought Rory's comments were really insightful and demonstrated some thought. More than just the usual dismissive whine we have heard from commentators and Fitzpatrick.

As for how many teenagers are following his lead... I guess almost none at the moment, but when some coaches start teaching his methods it's bound to take off.

Only really watched the Majors before as I couldn't justify Sky's prices.
Going through NowTV during lockdown.
The last 3 tournaments in the States have been fairly decent and I've watched most of what's been shown.
This week's....can't get into it at all.
Dull as dishwater....

It's definitely, "after the Lord Mayors show".

Thursdays often are, especially when the low scores are posted before our TV coverage.

Stick with it, great finishing stretch, although unlikely that the names at the top will be as big as recent weeks.
Maybe that's it...not particularly loaded with bigger names.
I'll stick with it but it had better not send me to sleep..

It’s your standard US Tour that gets more hype because of the “bear trap” - same with Waste Management having that stadium hole

At least it’s the matchplay next week

I find it always hots up at the weekend.

Trying to be objective, the PGA Tour is a really good product. The run we are in the middle of which starts at Kapalua and takes us to the Masters and then Harbour town features some great events. It then goes off the boil a bit in June and July with nothing interesting apart from the US Open, but that's fine because it's summer and I'm out and about.

When I see Simon Holmes I always think we're in for a bit of a low-key week. Not really fussed about 'The Bear Trap' but you can't have it every week and the last fortnight has been off the charts

I've got this one on but not really taking much notice.

We have been spoilt these last few weeks, so one low-key week is ok, besides next week it's the daddy of them all for me. I love matchplay and I love Austin CC.

? some bloke's just got stripped down to his undies to stand in a swamp and duff his ball 2 feet further into the swamp.
Wesley Bryant who if my memory serves me is as much a YouTube vlogger as he is a PGA pro. Stripping down to his under crackers will do his profile the world of good.
