Portrush, Northern Ireland – eighteen minutes before High Tide arrived at Royal Portrush for the last time in the open championship on Sunday, a warning for Tsunami included the Golf course.
Thankfully, 50,000 or more people coming to the 153rd Championship of the Open Championship and Grandstands Blue were not in any real danger. “Tsunami” was metaphorical, and the man who gave the warning had every reason for the theater: his name was Bryson Dechambeau, and he was talking About the Ryder Cup.
“I hope it can bring a lot of energy …” said Dechambeau, his lip is trembling to keep from a million-watt lip. “And a tsunamis of a crowd that will be root for Team USA. “
To them without a degree in DechambeaunomicsWords could have sounded like hyperbole. The truth is that they were Hyperbole, the type of accurate variety that Dechambeau willingly uses in pursuit of the titles that will surround the Golf world for at least the next 24 hours. Bryson has a writing gift -media reading, and in environments like the last Sunday’s oppressor in the open championship and on topics like Ryder Cup, he hires that gift liberally.
“There is no joke this year,” he said on Sunday in a very serious tone to be honest. “We’re tired of this. We’re tired of losing.”
In most ways, Bryson is a dream suitable for American golf. He exhibits enough stereotypes to fill the contents of a British tabloid themes – his personality a staggering mix of loud, bold, theatrical, hyperbolic, hypermiculin and commercialization. It is the type of character that makes the two -year -old Golf team entertainment, but unlike many of the other characters who have entertained Ryder Cup during his near -century in existence, Dechambeau seems to be aware of this fact, staring at the camera during each of his many holidays.
The intricate thing with bryson is what happens when we start painting with a wide brush. Dechambeau IS goofball oafish Who cases of our televisions with overloaded figures and (what seems to be) predetermined quotes, but he is also the boy who offers a stunning amount of thoughtful, introspective comments about the sport he plays and his role within him. Get Sunday’s press in Portrad for example: just seconds before you deliver it ”tsunamis“The line, Bryson, answered an innocent question with one of the answers of the week, providing an intriguing look at his role on the American side, and an allusion to an advantage for the US that could play a much larger role than the crowd to come in late September at the Farmingdale.
“It has been a lot of fun playing with Paul, Anirban and Charles,” Dechambeau said, referring to his teammates in Crushers, Livi, in response to a question about his growth as a teammate during a career that has passed by Dorky Outcast to Folk Hero. “The way I personally guided my team is, I have let them be their individual, their individual best. Yet I can make Paul’s best, Charles to be his best, and” the stop is his best. (That is) what has made us the most successful there. “
It is difficult to know how seriously to get the success of Dechambeau’s Crushers, but it is not difficult to see the effect the team’s life has on their captain. Bryson looks in his most comfortable as he contributes to a shared goal, which is why characters like Caddy Greg Bodine and manager Connor Olson have played such vital roles in his victory speeches, and why his most viral exclusivity on YouTube (Breaking 50) It is a clash competition that decides that he and his guests in the same team.
Dechambeau’s fighting in his early appearances by Ryder and presidents cast doubt on this fact, strengthening a stereotype of Bryson as a strict vetter. But while the big champion twice spoke from the podium on Sunday to Open, he suggested that those experiences had more to do with a team failure.
“(What) I’ve learned from the Golf team is to allow the individual to be the best individual who can be to add the team,” Dechambeau said. “That’s it. Don’t try to put someone in a bubble and say You have to do that, you have to do it. What I learned best from my college coach, Josh Gregory, was exactly what: Let me be me. That is why I did so well in college. “
Indeed, Bryson’s collegial career as a member of the Golf Smu team was the legend item – the status of amateur champion, an individual NCAA championship and one of the most successful teams in the history of the program. At adulthood, Dechambeau has succeeded with a similar approach, and he suggested on Sunday, failure with the POD system that has been cycled inside and out of use in US teams Ryder Cup since the 1990s.
Dechambeau appears to play a key role in the new era of American captain Keegan Bradley of the Ryder American Cup leadership. This weekend, he received a memorandum from Bradley celebrating that new era.
Mement-A photo of the winning Putt of the 1999 Justin Leonard Ryder Cup will be one of the many touch points between the American side and its most viral superstar ahead of Bethpage celebrations in late September. So far at least, the message looks simple … and familiar.
“That’s how I led the crushers, it’s the same correct thing. I’ve let them be them,” Bryson said on Sunday. “That’s the way I will move forward in the team competition.”
On Sunday in the open championship, Dechambeau sent a tsunami warning to cross the property, but it was difficult to shake the feeling that Bryson’s growth in himself could be the key to a American tide wave in Bethpage.
And if she “the best self” is responsible for some other titles like Tsunami warning the portrait that circulates Sunday evening?
Well, we will know that access is running.
