Bryson in the clubhouse at -20, tied with Schauffele who still has a couple to play and surely birdies 18.

Hovland though chased the birdie on 18 too and ended up with a 3 putt bogey. Gross

That surely is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence!

Great finish and Schauffele gets his first major with a birdie on the last.

Really didnt expect scoring as low as this.

Great win for a first major - leader start to finish effectively and had to shoot a 65 to win it. Pre tournament both Bryson and Viktor would have expected to win if they could post 264 or 266.

Initial thoughts this looks like US copy douchbaggery

Your initial assessment appears to be correct. It could have been worse, if it had been Tiger Woods he might have been shot or choked by the officer involved...

Golf would be better if they smashed tins on the way around. Imagine late Sunday after 4 days on the beers?

So professionals should play like the rest of us?

[taniwharugby]

@antipodean why not, we play like them briefly during a round or even on a single hole, only fair...maybe like the beer mile, have them have a shot or down a can every few holes...plenty would watch

[KiwiPie]

Combined speed & drinking golf. 9 holes, 9 cans, 1 winner.

[taniwharugby]

@KiwiPie haha like in 18 hole speed golf, score plus time...in beer speed golf, add 2 points for every can left after 9...or deduct a point for every Beer consumed encouraging more...

[mariner4life]

Yeah I like that rule. Take a shot off for every beer consumed

Some of those fucking nerds would never win a tournament again

You’d think the Phoenix open might bring something like this into play.
