Bryson DeChambeau - Oy

[jbishop15]

Cancelled by a rope. Sad to see.

How did the person record the video, but then need to record their screen to post the video?

I also don't think the rope moved so much he would have missed it either way…

He almost got beheaded. No pun intended.

The announcers said “off with his head.”

Ummmmmmmm.

Is Bryson also a professional soccer player? Geesh.

Looks like it did.  Looks like his caddie raised the rope and, just as Bryson went to duck under it, his caddie released the rope, and it sprang down just far enough for Bryson to catch it just under the bill of his cap, rather than just over.

Caddie obviously never spent any time in the woods with friends.  You quickly learn to be careful when and how you release springy things you push out of the way when their are others nearby.

I guess you've never caught a small branch or rope in the eye? I've had them both happen.  The former from walking in the woods with people that don't know how it's done with others following and the latter while sailing.

It's very painful and can disturb the vision in that eye for a good long while.

Imagine you're competing in a professional tournament and the vision in one of your eyes was just painfully impaired.

That's why I said he wouldn't have missed it, not that it wouldn't have hit the top of the bill of his cap.

Fair enough.  No, he wouldn't have missed it, either way.

Right, so he could have ducked down farther and saved himself. He was cutting it close, particularly since a rope is not a known fixed item.

When stepping OVER a rope, I either step ON it or I make sure to give it a really wide berth, lest it move slightly or I misjudge slightly and trip.

Same logic applies here, I feel.

[SEMI_Duffer]

Can't argue with your reasoning, @iacas.  He could have saved himself the grief by not making the assumption I suspect he did--that the caddie would hold the rope until he'd cleared it.

[GolfLug]

Caddie didn't realize BDC was figuring/expecting he would hold the rope up till they both passed through. You can hear BDC going "WTF guys" as if 'the guys' didn't do their jobs in holding up rope for His Majesty.

Of course I have. But I didn’t collapse to the ground and cry ‘ No!’ when asked if I’m ok. He’s a Pansy. Period.

[boogielicious]

It would have been funnier if the caddy stepped on the rope and released it just as BD was stepping over. FWWWAAAAPPP!

[imsys0042]

I hear Bryson’s agent is going to sue to find out if Jay Monahan used the Tour’s private jet to fly in and set this up.  According to a rumor that I am currently starting.

[jbishop15]

I recognize that Bryson behavior as something I like to call “I’m actually more mad than hurt, but I’m too much of a chicken to do anything so I’m gonna make this seem worse than it is”

a certain vintage of jbishop15 was an expert at this

No, it's a dig by the "PGA TUOR".

That's not the PGA TOUR.
