Brooks Koepka wins the US Open, finishes 7th in driving distance at 322 yards. Ho-hum media coverage and Brooks somehow continues under the radar despite winning 4 majors.
Bryson DeChambeau wins the US Open, finishes 7th in driving distance at 325 yards. Media coverage is absolutely bonkers, he's revolutionizing the game, rules need to change, golf courses are all suddenly irrelevant.
Those 3 yards must be pretty special.
Yeah, Brooks had the Bryson 2.0 look when Bryson was still a skinny punk. In fact, I bet truth be told, Brooks was kind of an "inspiration" for what Bryson did. There's no doubt Bryson worked really hard and all, but what's he's done isn't near as revolutionary as the media makes it out to be. He felt like he needed to hit the ball longer and he took steps to do that? How many times over the years have guys felt they needed to hit it longer and took steps to do that? The only thing different about Bryson is he is one of the few success stories when guys start chasing distance. Most of the time it doesn't work out too well when a guy starts making significant changes to chase distance.
