Prior to this change, a player incurred a two-stroke penalty if a ball putted from the green hit the flagstick before going in the hole. The rule change is intended to speed up the game at the amateur level, but as someone who spends countless hours calculating his game, Bryson is ready to use the rule in the pro game.
“All I try to do is use every aspect of the game of golf to my advantage. I try to use the rules to my advantage in, the most positive way possible.”
He’ll avoid the tactic, depending on the material of which the flagsticks are made, such as the U.S. Open where they are metal, but with most of the flagsticks on TOUR primarily made out of fibreglass it’ll be a strategy he uses often.
Be on the lookout for the new method when he tees it up in Kapalua at the Sentry Tournament of Champions, the first US PGA Tour event under the updated rules. Not sure if he needs anymore help after a win in his start of the season.
