What sequence of insults, insinuations, and short-lived ceasefires led us to the brink of World War Golf? In order to answer that question, we first have to catalogue the full breadth of Brooks vs Bryson.
After countless close calls and excruciating near misses – some of which cracked the windshield of the BMW M8 convertible speeding to catch Armitage’s drives – “The Bullet” eventually triumphed.
While you may not necessarily be betting on Spieth this week at the Masters, you would be dumb to bet against him. Just ask Eddie Pepperell, who fired up the Twitter machine on Monday morning to make the following wager:
But in case you needed more proof that Stenson is one of golf’s last true Good Guys, the Iceman delivered overnight, taking a break from his opening round at the Saudi International to fetch a young spectator’s soccer ball out of the literal ocean.
The fact Fall isn’t topping every single ball straight into the core of the earth is a testament to both his move at the top (despite there’s the heel lift and left elbow angle) and the work of one very talented Orlando-area club fitter.
Fowler, of course, has yet to don the green jacket, but if he ever rolls up Magnolia Lane on Sunday with the 54-hole-lead in his back pocket, we now know he’ll feel right at home.
Bring Phil’s shot-making ability into the mix and add two amateurs spraying it every way but the right one, and you have a pretty hearty entertainment stew going.
