still can't believe they drove him all the way back out to that spot on the golf course, wandered around in the weeds for half an hour and dinged him the two strokes anyway
In my opinion, with the depth of field issues with TV cameras and no definitive camera angles of his swing path, there cannot be conclusive video evidence that Bryson improved his lie or swing path. In cases like this the benefit of doubt should go to the player. I don't like this decision.
This is truly insane. I’m not a huge Bryson fan, but there’s absolutely no way you can tell from the video whether he improved his lie. If they rule against him here, I don’t know how you see it as anything other than them applying a standard to Bryson they’re not applying to the rest of the field.
Tell you what, if Bryson gets penalized here, then every single one of Wyndham Clark’s career wins should be rescinded. He does shit like this 5 times a round.
Xander total distance into Nos. 8-9: 367 yards
Rory total distance into Nos. 8-9: 85 yards
This has almost nothing to do with Rory being longer than Xander but rather that you can play holes at Birkdale so many different ways. Should give chasers of the lead extra hope going into the weekend and is a fun feature of this particular major.
Also they both played those two holes in -1.
He's up for the fight, I'll give him that
Some clutch scrambling but it's because of some poor irons
He'll need to clean it up off the tee for a chance to finish in the red
Out in 34
Even for the tournament
