Apparently, BK and Michelob are sending cases of beer to those escorted out.

If people are saying it, they are doing to get to Bryson, for whatever reason, not as a “playful” gesture. Practice rounds, go for it. Real deal, maybe hold that to yourself. Sure, he should be able to cancel that out, but he also shouldn’t have to go through it. 
Edit: it shouldn’t be reason to be totally thrown out but at least warned or something.

I think Bryson brings it on himself with his sort of smart alec involvement in the situation. That photobomb was very childish in my opinion. I I think many have lost some respect for Bryson. People shouldn't be heckling the players like that although.

Warned for what? It’s ridiculous.

So Bryson ribs BK by saying he’s living rent free in BK’s head….then he whines like a baby and has spectators removed for yelling ‘Brooksy’? What a douche.

Smart alec involvement? How? He walked by on a walkway and apparently didn’t say anything (there was speculation that he did say something, but it doesn’t appear to be the case; I would concede this point if he did say something). How is walking by on a walkway childish? Geez, this is hardly ruining some family’s photo at Disney World or something. Good grief 🤦‍♂️

The jabber has been kept outside someone actively playing their round. He doesn’t deserve the heckling he’s received while playing his own. Sure, he should be able to handle it, but he shouldn’t have to. If the same thing were to happen to Brooks next, I’d be against that too.

We’ve seen it happen before, where someone roots against a player yelling land in a trap or something and they get tossed.

Sure there’s entertainment value in it. But, imo, keep it outside of someone playing.

I think Bryson is now thinking everything was taken a step too far. Hence his actions. He certainly has his own share of blame.

Fair point, and I pretty much agree. I guess the obvious counter would be: could you imagine kicking out fans for the same conduct at other sporting events, e.g., football or basketball? I guess golf is different though.

You answered it yourself. Would this heckling be ok at the Masters? Yes, this tournament isn’t that. But, who’s to say when this will end too.

Maybe they should disqualify Bryson from the tournament for whining?

Realistically, golf is a game that will always demand a level of decorum from spectators. The reason why is because golf's spectators have demanded as much. Having an atmosphere like football, basketball or hockey won't do. If someone were looking for that, they wouldn't be at a golf tournament in the first place.

    • Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

    • I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus. 
    • I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
