I understand the moderate amount of hate he gets, but this is the type of magnified hate that I don’t understand about Bryson. He’s put on weight thru excessive caloric intake. And you can tell because he’s bulky in the middle too.

The question was about how he feels, it’s not like it was brought up to make an excuse, it was more of an explanation. FWIW, most golfers talk like this after a poor round.

Don’t say “that par is 67 for me here” then.

If he was winning the tournament and feeling the same he wouldn’t be saying a word.

Yeah, it's a bold claim, and he should back it up if he's gonna say that.

As for what was said post round, maybe, maybe not. Again, the information was presented more as an explanation, not as an excuse. Golf is so much mental, that if he did feel better, he would probably fair better in the standings.

I get the dislike for him - he's not my favorite player by any means. Bryson does come off as a guy who thinks he's the smartest in the room at times, which understandably rubs people the wrong way. But there is no doubt he thinks differently than most people - and it has brought him success. He won the PGA by 6 strokes. He had 7 birdies on during his second round.

Do you really think most (not all) of this hate ISN'T for the memes? I haven't heard of this guy until 3 weeks ago

I started out not liking him because he plays so slow. Now he just sounds like a self absorbed douche talking about his legacy and image. They way he attacked the camera guy for just doing his job was classless.

Play golf however you want but let the game do the talking, not your ego.

Pardon my interruption to the riveting golf talk, but I finally got around to hanging things in the office. Theres a blank spot waiting on a limited press signed vinyl that hasn't made jts way back to me yet.

Felt like you might appreciate this, @landsbergfan

I get that too. Again I am not his biggest fan.

It’s seems like a lot of criticism he has gotten from the media has been about his approach to the game - which is what I don’t get. What is really odd is how much people love Brooks, and how many people dislike Bryson despite the fact that they have that same arrogance about them.

I’m sure you watched the US Open. He plays so fing slow. His approach to the game regarding speed of play leaves a lot to be desired in my opinion. All his other stuff I could care less about. If it is legal, good for him.
