Sirs,
It appears that not a single soul has noted that MR. Lee Westwood has qualified for this Tournament of Golf and will undoubtedly triumph.

Tiger is an unreal ball striker. But they didn't change the course because of that. It's because he had short iron into par 5s.
Bryson is hitting it a mile and he is hitting it fairly straight.
It's like when you buy new clubs and it takes a few rounds to get a feel for how far they go. The pros, obviously, takes a little longer because they are more precise. Bryson didn't get new clubs, he got a new body, which is essentially the same thing. I think he gets the wedges dialed in and runs away with it.
And I don't know if I'd break 100 at ANGC, but it wouldn't be because I'd be missing fairways.

He looks more like happy Gilmore to me

Ge was 67th out of 70 in proximity and negative strokes gained approach im pretty sure. Its not like that is a given. ANGC will truly punish those shots
He was 96th in SG Around the green, and 112th in Driving Accuracy. 370 yds is cool but 370 yds sideways at Augusta is in the pine trees.

Aren’t his wedges setup with graphite shafts? He’s never going to get those dialed in that way and as others have said, Augusta going to eat him alive if he’s putting from 20-25 feet out after those shots.
Those greens yesterday were like a muni course. His putting is better but not convinced it’s “good”. Wait until he’s putting on big time greens.

When has a bomber (besides Bubba) ever won the masters in recent history? Short game wins at Augusta.

Yerp, and ridiculous technical recovery shots.
Both of which are not in De Bambo's arsenal.

Driving accuracy is a terrible stat and irrelevant. I'd look at that strokes gained around the green number again. It may be right, but I read yesterday that anything within 40 yards of the green gets automatically calculated as an approach. Since bryson had a bunch of drives that close to the green his SG approach was all messed up by the Tour. Data golf should have the correct numbers.
But you could be right, I'd just double check.

First, hitting a wedge or 9 iron to 25 feet isn't great. But when the rest of the field has 6 iron in hand, 25 feet isn't as bad in comparison.
He has graphite shafts, but that's because they are stiffer than steel. The graphite isn't the problem.
He was 58th in driver accuracy in Detroit. And that's a terrible stat because it is binary in the sense of its either in the fairway or it isn't. A much better stat is SG off the tee and he was first.
I bet he dials in the short game in the next month or two and he goes on a tear. He is hitting it long and relatively straight. Name a course that long and straight is bad for, besides Greystone. Even if he doesn't get better inside of 150, he still has a good chance to win.
I'll take him from 105 yards as opposed to Spieth from 178.

Spieth? Who is talking about him?
He's not 70 yards better than Brooks, Rory or DJ.
Whatever is going on with his wedges, its not great. If he gets it figured out, sure, he will be tough to beat but thats a big if.
Like I said, put him on some of the other tougher courses and that driving distance is going to get him into more trouble than you think.
That course yesterday had some ridiculously straight and easy par 4s. Most mid handicappers are birdie or par on those types of holes. 150 or 100 out, whatever you want to call it.

When does driving distance ever get you in trouble?

They are straight and easy when you just hit it around and over the dogleg.
The par 5s there average 580, he was hitting like 9 iron into them.

He is hitting it longer than Rory, DJ, and Brooks. I'll take Bryson from 105 than I will those 3 from 130. He blew it 30 yards past where Wolff landed his ball on 18 and Wolff is long.
If they fixed his SG approach for the drivers he hit near the green, he may be losing shots, but that's because he is approaching from a shorter distance. He may not hit it as close from 105 as the average tour pro, but I think, on average, he is hitting it closer to the hole than the average pro is from where their drive lands (if that makes sense).

#1 in SG OTT and Putting
#4 in SG Tee to Green
Only lost about a tenth of a shot on approaches

when you hit the ball into the woods and can't control it.
He's won one tiny tournament this year and choked a bunch of others away with inconsistent short game down the stretch.
Like another poster said, he's never even finished top 15 in a major and suddenly he's going to win all of them when every other big time golfer is LOCKED IN?
Ya'll need to chill TF out.
Rory is set to win every major, every year heading into Augusta and still chokes the hell out of them and he's won 5.
When he wins one, or even finishes top 305 with his new chunk, then we I will start to get onboard.

Im not sure how he can roll with those long arse wedges with his swing speed.

I shouldn't care but its incredibly annoying.
Along with his stupid arse putter. God that thing triggers me.

He isn’t winning any major while hitting wedges to 15-30 feet. You can get away with some of that at these courses but it ain’t happening at Augusta or any other course during a major.
