Explains a lot, doesn’t it?

Prior to drinking 18 protein shakes a day, that was his whole schtick.

I'm just starting to follow players
This I believe is the first British Open I've watched since my mid-teens
-
Definetly won a US Am and maybe an NCAA ( can’t remember). Was becoming a top ten ish player when covid hit and that’s only when he got super jacked and started hitting it way past everyone. He was maybe a slightly above average distance driver previously. There’s a legit golfer under all this bravado.

Like Rory, if Bryson figures out his wedges he'll win plenty more
-
His swing is too robotic to be a good wedge player. Not that you have to have hands like Seve, but there has to be some semblance of feel, not everything is a math equation. I watch every one of his YouTube videos, and watching him hit woods and irons is unreal, but watching him hit partial wedges inside 120 yards is maddening. His swing is kinda weird in general, but on those shots, it just looks so awkward.

Tiger has videos where he says basically he just swings his arms for wedges. Takes some of the spin off.
I used to be proud to hit an LW 120 yards. Realized that was pointless and now max it out at like 90.

Yeah, the better I got, the more detrimental full swing wedges became. Ripping it back 20 feet looks cool, but if you land it hole high and rip it off the green, it becomes less cool.

Earlier today in my car I was pondering this question for you and @Bob_C
Bryson is 31 and has won two tourneys. Is it reasonably possible for golfers to hit their prime in their 30s? Gymnastics girls seem to hit their primes in their teens and tennis players in their mid-20s. Football players hit their prime in their mid-to-late 20s. What about golfers?

Watching right now. Eight names on the leaderboard, and I don't know any of them.
