His driving is impressive, but his short game and putting was also solid this week. Watch how him and Wolff dismantle Augusta in November. The USGA is set to announce how they will combat the perceived distance problem early next year. You really can’t combat Bryson if he hits it this long and straight without also hurting the shorter players even more. Longer rough, narrower fairways, firmer and faster greens, a spinnier ball, a smaller driver all won’t hurt Bryson more than the average Tour player. Narrower fairways around the 315-320+ distance where the bombers hit it and longer rough/more trees/bunkers overall + faster greens seem like something that would make some sense in the middle to even the field a bit with the bombers trying to bully courses but also not something that penalizes shorter guys as much. Because yeah, doing something that penalizes everyone still leaves you with guys like Bryson that would maintain a marginal advantage. The PGA Tour isn’t going to ask the courses that hold their events to narrow the fairways at 320. That seems unfair and the Tour likes their long drivers to do well (Bryson, DJ, Koepka, Finau). Plus Bryson can cover that distance already and he’s getting longer and longer. This week’s US Open had some of the narrowest fairways ever with super thick rough and Bryson and Wolff, the longest hitters on Tour, were at the top of the leaderboard because everyone was missing fairways. If Bryson drives it relatively straight compared to the field, there’s nothing you can do to stop him that won’t hurt everyone else more.
