From nailing 400+ yd drives the other week, to this. Oh dear, Bryson.
That was ridiculous.
I actually don't get the whole Bryson myth that he's perpetuated about how he takes every single shot as being completely scientific, allowing for specific humidity etc on every shot be it a drive, a wedge, or a putt. Its something he has run with for years feeding this intelligent golfer - when basically the only thing different than any other golfer was his clubs were the same length.
His "intelligent golf" certainly seems to have gone out the window and been replaced with a somewhat more simplistic (and somewhat intelligent) approach of "if I can hit it closer to the hole earlier then I'll have easier shots after that."
I've no idea what he was trying to do yesterday. It certainly seemed to be a lack of intelligence applied to his decision making. Ad then to compound it by repeating the shot, and then doing so again and then being very lucky not to end up in a hazard was mind boggingly stupid when only just below the cut line.
I'm not sure if his decision makings become more of an ego thing now.
I realise its only one bad hole, but I just get the feeling with him that its all going to go horribly wrong soon. Not sure he has the mentality to continue to play such a high risk game.
Also think in a normal season he'd be picking what competitions to play very carefully.
