    It kept my interest until the end, that’s a win for me.

    That was awesome. Exactly what a U.S. open should be. That putt may haunt Rory forever.

    Which one, 16 or 18? Feel bad for Rory, but yes very entertaining.

    Good point. I was referring to 16 though l. I know it was a sidewinder but it was 2.5 feet. That was yikes effort

    Last thing...it's amazing the change that Bryson has made in terms of perception and likability. He still says some odd things here and there, but he is entertaining, engaging and very gracious. I hope it is sincere (I think it is but ya never know), and not just a play for the cameras.

    I agree 100%...he's actually pretty easy to root for these days. His emotions and reactions seem completely genuine and he seems to be past his socially awkward stage. Spending time with Page Spiranac might have loosened him up a little bit :)

    Ok I lied...one more thing lol. In the same way that Bryson has changed recently, so has Rory. He's kind of a whiny prick tbh. There was the whole Ryder Cup thing, which I mean get a grip. Then yesterday, I understand that was extremely disappointing and hard, and I can't begin to imagine the pain he was feeling, but to just pack up and leave without 1.) acknowledging Bryson and his win and 2.) not answer to the media to me is BS. You get paid millions upon millions of dollars in sponsorships, and get to play golf for a living. Sorry, but sack up and answer some questions.

    None of us are perfect, I sure as hell am not, but I hope that Rory acknowledges that what he did was wrong. It's very important for younger folk (like my kids) to understand graciousness in defeat, and all they saw was a dude driving away because he couldn't face the music.

    Bryson definitely seems to be embracing his unique place in the sport and is being a good ambassador. The video of him out in the bunker in the dark with the dude from Golf Channel was fun stuff. I know LIV has all the cash to throw around but nothing beats the majors
