I know this dude is pretty divisive, on tour with players and fans, but I like watching him hit the ball (hate his putting set up)

Saw a post earlier showing him playbthe 18th, the amount of people ripping him for only making par and shooting 60 was ridiculous.

All of Bryson DeChambeau's top shots from Friday at the BMW...

8 birdies 🐦 2 eagles 🦅 A new career-best 🙌 Bryson DeChambeau nearly carded a 59 on Friday at the BMW Championship.

Hatiest!! Was glad he didn't join the club.

Just a massive bellend.

Anyone watching the Ryder Cup?

Some vocal crowds...even some booing, singing, chanting while players hitting shots

That's really shitty.

[taniwharugby]

@tim yeah I can deal with noise, but typical boorish US fans...USA, USA chants...they even like Bryson today!

I reckon they should have at least 1 tournament where shouting and booing is encouraged, even during a shot. Call it the Happy Gilmore Open or something. Would be great fun to see them cut loose and rark the crowd up, give each other some shit even.

[taniwharugby]

@voodoo damn you people, go back to your shanties!

[taniwharugby]

@tim I do like watching him hit the ball

[canefan]

@taniwharugby that's insane

[broughie]

@voodoo It’s called a horse race in amateur circles. Lots of fun.

[broughie]

Whistling Straits is a beast. Would like to play it just to be humbled.

[canefan]

The US in total command according to the scoreboard. Stricker's decision to opt for in form youth and to leave Reed out seems to be paying off

The crowds are feral, beyond banter. It's a pretty shit look imo

Shit look for … ?

I think it’s brilliant.

Yesterday the comms were like 'it's late in the day, been a few beers drunk' or something to that effect

It was really bad in the late afternoon yesterday. Just watched for a little bit this afternoon and the crowd seemed better behaved. I don't mind parochialism. But there is a degree of courtesy you expect in golf

I agree with the disrespect in the players backswing but otherwise it is the Ryder Cup so I’m sure the Euros are equally as vocal. No more boorish than hearing the Haka ad nauseam.

[taniwharugby]

@broughie I'm yet to see a kiwi do the haka on a golf course during general play. 😉

Well the US fans are just louder I guess...
