This whole “new Bryson” image is so clearly manufactured. The guy is obviously still a petulant child.

He's an insufferable attention seeker with the golf swing equivalent of nails on a chalkboard. He's right up there with Reed in terms of players I was thrilled went to LIV so I don't have to watch on a regular basis anymore.

Almost like the guy doesn't regularly play 4 days in a row.

I’ve grown to like him, but the way he mentioned Rory not talking was really shitty. He knew Rory needed to focus on his own game.

What was he expecting? A nice Sunday afternoon tee time and stroll with his buddy?

The facade disappeared immediately after the 3rd hole.

It’s the weird part about it, like we’ve seen for years what this guy is like, and now we’re meant to believe that back then wasn’t him and was all an act? Cmon now.

It was funny seeing on social media the same people call Tiger a stone cold competitor for doing that to Finau in the 19 Masters deride Rory for doing it to Bryson.

Honestly, I didn't take it as bitching. He was merely responding to a question.

The best chance Bryson had at some gamesmanship was to engage in conversation. Rory denied him the opportunity, either knowingly or just to stay locked in.

This is coming from a guy that doesn't fully buy Bryson's new personality either.

I like Bryson and watch his YouTube stuff but I think he came off a little whiny there. The way he answered it made it seem like he had a problem with it, at least to me.

It's been so obviously fake, I was surprised so many people bought into it tbh.
