Yea Bryson made a sick 60yd bunker shot on 18 to win it but Rory gave the trophy away. That’s gotta sting more than all of his other close losses and as the drought gets longer…the doubts grow deeper.
Great US Open though. Loved the test.
Now this is a US open. Margin for error is very small. Bryson played lights out today but all it takes is one missed shot into trouble or a bad break as the course keeps baking and it’s anyone’s jug tomorrow.
This course doesn’t seem to set up well for Bryson. It’s long sure but what I’ve read/watched is it will require a great short game with flops and finesse shots since the greens mostly fall away from the pins like a dome. This is the total opposite of wingfoot. The analysts could be wrong though and after the past couple majors, Bryson has gotten a lot easier to root for so I hope he does well.
