Bryson Takes 2:15 to Miss an Eight Foot Putt

[krupa]

He's currently 2nd to last at BMW.  Does anyone know if he's actually playing faster?

That was a non-apology apology, take back the apology, tell the haters **** you, but I love you, even though you hate me.

All while looking right up his nose....Yup!   I'm a fan!

 

That wasn't any kind of an apology. 
I thought it was pretty great.

I actually kind of like him now.

I could not even watch the entire OP clip.  Had to skip ahead a couple times...brutal.  

The golf channel showed it and they sped up the frame rate... hilarious!

Well, he certainly accomplished that, and managed to alienate the entire tour playing behind him... 😁😂😁

 

 Ah, yes. 2:10 for an 8 footer is absolutely riveting, edge-of-the-seat stuff.

Others replied, but… you're nuts if you think that taking 2:15 to hit a 9' Putt is acceptable.

 

🤷‍♀️

I was thinking more about right now, after the fact. Almost comical, if that behavior didn’t give a “pass” to slow play 🥺

It's good to see the European Tour putting a plan in place to combat slow play, hopefully this is something that can come into force on the PGA Tour too.

 Could we penalize the PGA Tour for undue delay in keeping up with the European Tour in dealing with this?

Golf Digest times Bryson DeChambeau in Round 1 of the Tour Championship.

Interesting read.  It categories his shot types into tee, approach, short-approach, and putting--and gives his average times for each (with outliers).  Of course this is a small field with 2-player groups, on what they describe as a very straight-forward course, so group-times were likely about as fast as they get.  Still, I'd like to have known his group's time relative to the others.

The biggest infraction came on the ninth green. Facing a 36-foot uphill birdie putt, DeChambeau took two minutes and 41 seconds from marking his ball to contact. His putt went six feet by, and even though he watched Reavie for 50 seconds, it didn't appear like he started to look at his comeback line until after Reavie's birdie attempt was struck. Another minute ensued before DeChambeau was off the green.

If the tour officials are afraid to penalize slow players like DeChambeau then they need to allow their plying partners to self police them. it’s got to affect more players than the ones that have already have spoke up. I mean you get into a rhythm and then you have to wait for someone all day long? Rediculous!

First group was around in 3 hrs. Love that.

Yep. BD is a total douchebag. Really need to see him get penalized. Then we’ll see for sure if he has any redeeming qualities.
