Transcript
00:00I, you know, I won't pretend to be up here and defend Bryson. I'm not particularly fond of him.
00:08I think a lot of it's performative. I think a lot of it's for attention.
00:12And yeah, you know, to hold the tournament hostage like that and have all of us, volunteers, players, everyone waiting
00:19on him to depart, I didn't feel like it was a great look.
00:23So I was watching it live. I was up in the players' lounge watching it with a few other players.
00:27And as soon as he made the step into the ball, we all sort of looked at each other and
00:33were like, that didn't seem right.
00:36And then when I heard that he was, you know, he was called in by the rules officials, I think
00:40we all, it was pretty obvious for why.
00:44Yeah, I mean, I think, you know, I think there's no doubt that he improved the line of his backswing.
00:50So, you know, and again, it's like whether it was careless or whether it was intentional, I don't think it
00:55matters.
00:55Hopefully it was careless. But I think the two-shot penalty was justified for sure.
