The game needs characters , different swings and ideas. But the over reaction to his victory has been daft. You could list of 4/5 golfers in last ten years, who the golf world have said "He has changed the game" "the game will not be the same" "He is just too good" Bubba Watson made a joke of Augusta - and now hardly features. People were worried about the course and the game at that point Spieth was putting at a total bizarre level - and he literally looked unbeatable because of this - people were genuinely concerned for majors as he looked unbeatable. Brooks Koepka made an absolute joke of majors in 2017/ 2018 / 2019. Even more recently Molinair had an Iron game - that looked like he was going to make a joke of the game Then to add to all this - this power game is nothing new Jack Nicklaus John Daly Tiger Woods Rory McIlroy Dustin Johnson. I watched every shot that Bryson hit in last round - and the power hitting is part of the win - but his wedge play and putting was unreal. He did absolutely nothing we haven't seen before. So fair play to him - he has just won one major. Well deserved , he is completely focused on golf, doing all the hard work. And he can do all the physics and protein drinks in the world he likes. But the guy who wins, has either loads of talent with work or Is just working way harder than the rest. Fair play to him.

It just looks overly manufactured. It might appeal to the yanks but I certainly wouldn't be going out of my way to try to play it anyway. But that's just me:o

I know that f bombs is a far less of a crime than slow play and deliberately improving your lie aka Patrick reed, but still it shouldn't be condoned. Should the overuse of foul language be a crime enough to issue a shot penalty at the very least, monetary fines are not an appropriate deterrent for players to take this issue seriously? Obviously players come out with some very interesting commentary, but would not have a microphone or a cameraman close to your face like with Wolff yesterday. And then of course you have the issue of spitting and bad etiquette in general also. Some interesting debate for sure.

I remember the Irish public generally being outraged and leaping to Michelle DeBruin’s defence when the accusations started flying during the Atlanta Olympics. I’m not saying that the level of muscle put on by DeChambeau is anything like the level of improvement shown by Michelle, but it is enough to cause people to ask questions and he has an opportunity to defend himself by explaining exactly how he managed to achieve such an improvement without using steroids or other banned substances.
abff wrote: » You might argue that it shouldn’t be necessary for him to do this as everyone is entitled to the presumption of innocence, but the change is striking enough to have caused widespread speculation and a question mark is likely to remain over him until he produces an explanation that answers this question satisfactorily. It may not be fair, but I don’t think it’s the same as labelling someone a paedophile.
