Monster Golf Shot Causes Crowd to Erupt
Bryson DeChambeau pulled off a monster golf shot that caused crowds to go crazy. Fans and critics say he’s drawing new audiences to the sport, and not everyone is happy about it.
Congratulations Bryson. Just don’t be too freaked out when you get a cease and desist from Happy Madison. We’ve seen this scene before.
There’s been a lot of comments (positive and negative) about the banter yelled in this video.
I was *not* the guy yelling about filets nor did I yell “let the big dog eat” (although I’m on board with that phrase)
I *did* yell “LET’S GO WIND! GIMME A BREEZE!”
