Tiger Woods has a good quote that describes how Fleetwood won this match: "We all know that out here, everyone's good is good. But how good is your bad?"
Johnny K y so Fleetwood’s “bad” meant missing a few fairways, while Bryson’s “bad” is missing crucial putts and losing the match because of it. Seems like you’re proving my point further
@@johnnyk4115 Drive for show , put for dough ... Everyone is going on about the distance thing, hitting 350 plus.... question is , how long can you keep that up before your body gives in? A golf career is an endurance , not a sprint . You can see the amount of energy he puts in , that goes into your back ... Hope he knows what he's doing .
Without spectators, caddies, cameras and marshalls how many balls would these guys lose? I swear they'd be losing 6 strokes for penalty shots every round.
These players probably have a pretty good feel for where their misses go, 6 strokes sounds like a lot in a round even if theyre as far from the fairway as fleetwood in this one.
You'd be surprised. Last year there were no spectators nor marshals on the European Tour events all year and the players would always know where to look, and very rarely lost any balls. I was often surprised how good of a feel they've got as to where to look and I couldn't even find the ball, standing 15 metres from where it had landed.
Bryson lost a ball at the one of the majors last year... he was pretty frustrated. Because the ball had not been lost if there had been spectaters. But IIRC he was the only one to loose a ball that week, so not many lost balls at all!
See I like Bryson for all the cool little tricks he comes up with (whether they work or not is a different story) but by god I always feel bad for whoever he is playing with. Like this man is gonna start checking the position of Venus in the sky so its gravitational pull doesn't affect his putting stroke I swear.
I feel like Dechambeau could be unstoppable if only he worked on his short game. This match was the difference in short game alone. Even with Fleetwood putting two in a row into the water, he has the match in the bag early in it seemed. Fleetwood is twice the short gamer that Dechambeau is in this match. I feel like Dechambeau is more concerned with breaking his long carry records, his club head speed records and all that. Someone should tell him that Fleetwoods drives here were as effective if not more so and that if only he really did have his short game honed, he could be one of the greatest.
@@pauledmondson7071 The 2021 Ryder Cup the US dominated. Tommy didn’t win a single match. “Where’s that?” One of the US’s 50 states and where the latest Ryder cup was held along with several previous PGAs and US Opens 😂
It's impressive how far bryson hits the ball but he just bludgeoning it around the course. Then hacking wedges from the rough , onto the green . Not easy to watch.
Moral of the story: it matters not how far you hit, Your long game is validated by your short one. Bryson will never dominate the game for as long as his short game remains mediocre!
Obviously you are unaware that DeChambeau led the PGA tour last year in % of putts made under 10’. This day was just a bad day with the putter which happens to every player on occasion.
did tommy hit off the concrete because he would have to take relief behind a tree? also how do you just lift in cleanly off the concrete like that? that was amazing!
Bryson stunk in this mismatch. Fleetwood was not at his best, but Bryson was at his worst. He couldn't hit a wedge or make a putt. That said, he's improved a lot for 2024. He's finding more fairways with his driver, hitting much more accurate wedges, and judging greens far better. It's a bit of a joke, but it wouldn't bring a laugh if it weren't true: Bryson was more accurate with his driver against Fleetwood than he was with his wedges or his putter. He just smelled like he played.
So what Bryson did at the Masters was not credible? LIV is hardly a "micky mouse" tournament association. Saying that is pretty disrespectful to the talent that plays on the LIV circuit. Bryson is ranked 110 in the world so don't let jealousy determine your respect for another man.
@@Thatonechingadera45 On the score card it is NOT one stroke. It is 2. Hit a drive out of bounds and you Must hit again from the tee box and you’re hitting 3. I realize many amateur cheaters walk up to where it went out of bounds and throw out a ball and claim they are hitting 3. They are not.
@@mrsmartypants_1 if you hit the ball in bounds which you should be doing it’s 1, which no matter if it’s a putt or a drive any forward movement of the ball counts as a stroke, just as I said you can AT ANY POINT hit the ball OB or into hazards with any shot, every shot you line up to, will be counted as one stroke unless you screw up. Stop with the stupid ass argument of “OB?!?!??”
@@mrsmartypants_1 the argument OP is making is that no matter how far you hit your drive it’s still “1” on the scorecard, no where in there did OB come into discussion, but since you bring it up, I’ve made the point clear that you can very well hit a put OB, so you still have the same exact variance of stroke lining up to a putt or drive. So again, a drive and a putt will look the exact same on the scorecard.
I don't believe he is a good golfer, he should find another sport. Plus, its about time the circus left town, so the real golfers can play proper golf.
@@CooperRussell5 Of course it does not matter what I think, sorry if you don't agree with my opinion but deal with the fact I can have an opinion different to yours.
This is match play so the two players win or lose each hole against each other, and the opponent can concede them easy putts since they’re not playing against the entire field like normal
I guess I don’t actually mind Bryson, I just figured out that its the commentators that make him so unlikeable with their stupid remarks about him “calculating” and applying all this “science”. If it worked that well he’d win more; shut up about it.
DeShambles brings nothing to the sport, he's just a freak show. Why were the commentators crawling up his ass? he played crap! Beaten by Fleetwood having a bad day with the driver, a masterclass in recovery golf!
@@Nathan-ur2xv yeah that HGH has really helped his career. Since you want to get personal. I’d say if you ever managed to be able to get out of your moms basement it would be your major life accomplishment, lol .

@@shaungoosen4199 If this was a valid argument, only political science experts would have the right to vote. Also, calm down you're scaring the children.
@@axeltoft7709 bro, I know that, the point is "winning the hole" and look at how Fleetwood nearly blew it on 18...he could have hit two 8 irons and been on...I'd own you on a golf course
@@Dude0000 24, why I'd own you? You tee off and are in the rough? My only thought is get in the fairway around 200 and hit 7 iron on, be the house bro, it always wins
