ORLANDO, Florida – Everyone loves the long ball.
In every sport. The 80-meter football subscription. Home with measuring tape runs in baseball. The field player rises in basketball. And, of course, the long roads in the gulf.
Years ago, John Daly drew so many eyeballs to his game because he hit it farther than anyone in the game. Then Tiger Woods came and was longer than anyone else.
Today’s fascination in golf is Bryson DeChambeau, who attracted a lot of attention last year because he filled up and went crazy a long time ago.
All week, at the Arnold Palmer Invitation at Bay Hill, DeChambeau had teased everyone about his intention to try to lead the green over a large lake on the sixth hole of 555 par-5 yards.
In his training round on Wednesday, he tried it twice and came short in the wind. The wind didn’t help enough in the first two rounds for him to realize on Thursday and Friday, despite the fact that the spectators asked every time he reached the sixth tee.
However, in the third round on Saturday, DeChambeau gave the crowd what they wanted, taking an aggressive line across the lake and landing the shot on the right side of the green, a tee shot that ran 370 meters.
As soon as the ball bounced off the bar, DeChambeau knew he was in trouble after pulling back an opponent.
Spectators, who made bananas at the DeChambeau shooting. But they were not the only observers interested.
Jordan Spieth, who played the first two rounds with DeChambeau and publicly stated that he is confused that DeChambeau did not do what he did on Saturday, Thursday or Friday, played in 7th place right in front of DeChambeau and stopped on his way to the green. in order to follow the tee shot, pointing to his gift, Michael Greller, to the place where the ball landed.
Rory McIlroy, playing a hole behind DeChambeau, stopped and watched the shot.
As it turned out, DeChambeau hit the tee-shot so well that he could have taken an even more aggressive line to the green and led the green. His shot landed to the right of the green, chipped in front of the green, and was put on its feet so that the pussies would tie them to their foreheads at that moment.
