Who would you rather follow, DeChambeau or Spieth?

[MarkT]

This will hopefully make a good online piece for Monday..

If you had inside-the-ropes access (this isn’t a competition) and you could follow one of these two who would it be?

And for what reason?

 

[Beezerk]

Speith, my putting hero.

 

[USER1999]

Big Spieth fan, so Jordan every time.

I always follow Spieth at the Open, especially on practice days.
He’s a magician

 

[DannyOT]

Probably Bryson just to see those bombs off the tee. It would also be interesting to see the swing up close, whereas Spieth's is a more traditional swing.

Bryson..... I want to hear that club on ball noise.

 

[Bunkermagnet]

Neither

Speith. He putts like me. Holes monsters but rubbish from 12 feet. If I could not putt I would be off 10 instead of single figures.

I've photographed both from inside the ropes for a few holes each anyway - Jordan was leading the Open when I followed him - Bryson wasn't the 'big guy' back then (2018). I really like Jordan but because of the hype and the crowd reaction you'd get nowadays Bryson would be more fun to experience now.

Imagine following Spieth on a bad day tee to green when he's also holing nothing... ?‍?

Imagine watching Bryson searching for his ball, deep in the rough, at the Open...??‍?

Give me that with a camera in my hand - brilliant fun

How about as a paying spectator, without a camera... ??

 

[Deleted member 1147]

50 yards ahead of Spieth doing the same thing... ?‍?

?

Which makes it better?

 

[Deleted member 1147]

Oh jeez...
It's a frigging hypothetical situation.
Who gives a toss.

MarkT, apparently...and you it would seem

 

[Oddsocks]

Bryson brings nothing but power, plus my putting is jank so I’d benefit from walking with speith

The question was inside the ropes - you're not inside the ropes if you've paid. Mind you deep in the rough could well be outside the ropes at the Open

 

[MrGrumtastic]

I don't think there is anything that Spieth does that others don't do better. Even if he has a good day, I think he would need others to be off their game for him to win.

On the other hand, if things are clicking for Bryson then no one gets close to him. He could also have one of those days where he's knocking it OB, so there's some entertainment from the uncertainty!

 

[fenwayrich]

Spieth all day long. DeChambeau's game is very one dimensional, and somewhat tedious.

 

[hovis]

This is like being asked if you'd rather be drowned or burnt alive

I followed Spieth on the Wednesday at Carnoustie.
His short game practice was amazing and his inventiveness intriguing. He and JT were hitting 100-150 yard 4 iron chip and runs on the 9th hole ?

Hit fairways and he has a hell of a chance in any event.
