He isn’t winning any major while hitting wedges to 15-30 feet.
Well 15-30 feet is an average 7 iron so its pretty easy to surmise he could win a major hitting it 15 to 30 feet, especially since he's a really good putter

Again, he’s hitting it to 15-30 feet with wedges. Amateur golfers do this. He is playing lights out but, to predict he wins any major with a wedge game like that is laughable. If he improves his wedge game drastically i could see him winning some majors. Till then it just ain’t happeninf

That's my point. He isn't going closest to the hole with the field from the same spot in the fairway. He is playing closest to the hole with the field, except he is 70 yards in front of some of them and 30 yards in front of the long hitters. It ain't the same game. He out drove Merritt, who isn't short, by 400 something yards over 18 holes.
Is 15 feet with wedge in hand good for most pros, no. But compared to pros that are hitting it from 50 yards behind him, 15 feet isn't bad.
He hasn't done anything in the last 4 weeks that tells me he won't be in contention at the majors and he has done a lot to convince me he'll win one. I'd bet he wins 2 before I'd put any money on him finishing outside the top 15 in all 4.

Wow buddy. Don't put yourself out there too much.

I guess he could win.
The big question is who is helping him with the “local knowledge” type stuff at Augusta.
It seems that there is an experience factor at Augusta that factors into things.
I’m not for Bryson or against him. I certainly think the course favors big hitters, but DJ and Rory have not broke through just yet.

Winning majors is hard, im not telling you he's definitely going to win, but completely dismissing him is just as dumb as guaranteeing he's going to 2 this year.
There's a reason hes the betting favorite for all three

And Rory has been the betting favorite for the majority of them for the last decade. He hasn't won since 2014.
I don't think anyone is arguing how good De Bambo is playing but winning the Masters vs The Rocket Mortgage Waterbury Open is quite a bit different.

I’d take Koepka in every major over this dude. Every single time. He could win one cause he’s a good golfer. His wedge game is embarrassing and they we’re talking about it all day yesterday. Till he dials that in i just don’t see him winning with the amount of pressure that a major brings. Has he truly ever even been in contention in a major before?
Posted on 7/6/20 at 11:44 am to The Johnny Lawrence
Tiger wasn’t driving it only 300 back then. Guy was hitting it 330 with steel shafts in his driver. No offense to Bryson but that is more insane than what Bryson was doing.

Dude was regularly putting it 20-40 feet from like 40-80 out yesterday. That is bad.
Mid 80s guys put it closer from that range.

I'm not sure if you misread or I wasn't clear. I'd bet he wins 2 majors this year before I'd bet he finished outside the top 15 in all of the majors. I am, basically, putting myself out there.

PGA Champ may be his best shot. Most like normal golf.
Bryson is lucky there’s no Open Championship this year, that was his worst one. Best finish 51st YIKES.
He ain’t sniffing a top 10 at Augusta.
US Open I could MAYBE see him flirting with it, but I’d still bet on no. I’d take 10-20 before I took top 10.
He’s just an overrated nutcase. When all the heavy hitters are back out there, he won’t be contending. His wedge game is too lacking, and his emotions are too breakable.

Everyone but Tiger has played in the last month and he hasn't not been in contention on the weekend.

Bryson doesn’t have the short game to win at Augusta. Not only would he have to chip it better, he would have to be very good with the putter. And as others have said, he’s not getting it close enough to the hole to make that happen.

Yeah, he has the distance to over power Augusta.
His biggest issue right now is distance control. I don’t think he has any idea how far his drive is going to go when he hits it. That could cause problems when you have to work the ball off the tee as much as Augusta requires.
He certainly has no clue how far his wedges are going to fly. At Augusta, you cant get away with being 10 yards long or short because you’ll either end up in Rae’s Creek or with an impossible putt.
I’m super interested to see how he plays though.

As I said, the main guys are using these tiddlywinks tournaments as warmup rounds or to work on something specific. Bryson is the only “big name” going all out at these like a major.
The tour took 3 months off. Most of these guys are just warming up, getting back in the swing of things.
It’s like saying the winner of the Sanderson Farms Championship in September is going to win the masters. Realistically it is a watered down competition, and the bigger players competing are just getting their feet wet

With what he is doing this might be the beginning of an actual tour ball.
They can’t just keep lengthening the courses because all you would do is give him more of an advantage.

So you are knocking bryson for working his arse off and being ready upon comeback?

Hes won two FedEx Cup playoff events and a Memorial and hes 26. He's also won a US Am and an NCAA championship. Its not like he's luke Guthrie or some no name guy.
