but joining us now ladies and gentlemen is a man who I assume has good pump going on as well yeah it was the second time winning the title but nonetheless he is the reigning defending Undisputed shout out to Paul Heyman US Open Champion representing The Crushers from live golf Bryson D how are you man how Wasing how you guys doing hey great how was the night I saw you stick around afterwards and meet and greet everybody and go to the and take that thing around to all the people I don’t think I’ve ever seen a golfer do that why’ you do that and how’ the night continue to go brother congratulations ah well thanks thanks for having me on guys it’s been a whirlwind I’m a little wrecked I can tell you that but it was a lot of fun last night and uh the fans were all a part of that win throughout the whole week they were cheering me on they were pushing me they were um encouraging me giving me all all the stuff I needed to win and so I thought what better uh moment for me to just go out and show the fans all the respect that they deserve for pushing me to win this uh title it’s beautiful we all loved watching along and we all enjoyed like your baby face turn baby face is good guy in wrestling and I don’t know if you hear what the conversation is around you right now but a lot of people are like wait a minute I actually love Yeah do I love Bryson D sh I love brys and D Shambo obviously with your YouTube with your style of play with the way you’re handling yourself on the on the course you like got jacked up before a putt when everybody else is locked in you’re telling the fans no I’m not going for the green I’m not get off my ass I’m not going for the green I’m doing this like do you feel that do you think it’s you maturing do you think it’s people learning more about you what do you think it is and like how does it feel to have everybody on Earth loving you at this moment legitimately it’s it’s an honor I’m thankful I’m gracious I can tell you that YouTube has definitely opened up a lot of doors for me it’s allowed me to express my full self and just get a little bit older to my man I’m not too old I’m 30 but what I can tell you is I’ve learned a lot uh from the lows that I’ve had and the people that have been around me they’ pushed me in the right direction realize how much golf is given me and so it’s time to give back it’s time to give back to this great game and what it does for people and humans I I couldn’t be more thrilled to have this be a part of the United States uh uh when it’s it’s it’s everyone here it’s everyone that’s pushed me to make this happen hell yeah and we can feel it like you being a face of golf was very evident in like representing the sport is very pure especially with your performance yesterday but through YouTube through videos debut here I mean he talked about how kind you were to him and how much you helped him throughout the go baby hey congratulations again man great great [ __ ] performance yeah yeah you inspired me by the way you inspired me with those those bombs out there after I gave you a little less on the T box confirm boys we we thought he was you know since playing with dbut you’re one for one in majors so we assume Deb was a massive piece of it but he talked about he’s done a couple of these before with like philson he talked about how philson like didn’t seem obligated but like very much wanted to help Darius and his love of golf he said the same thing for you man it is everything we’re hearing about these Shambo is wonderful it is is and you deserve it brother you deserve it all thank you it’s awesome no it was a lot of fun guys thank you okay so let’s go to some highlights from yesterday you said after the tournament that you could hear with the crowd kind of what was happening with Rory cuz he’s one hole ahead of you when you tea off at 18 you hear the USA chance and the groans and do you know what happened with Rory or did you just know something was up where were you so I was missing my drive all right yesterday and uh I had to make sure I missed it left to give myself a chance to the green no matter what and I over pulled it just a little bit and I thought I might get to TI relief from that immovable obstruction and get a maybe a good lie or something like that but unfortunately got under a tree around Roots could have injured my hand even and I barely had a sliver of a chance to get on the green yeah I smoked that was 94 ball sweet cheese and then I I was trying look at this I had no shot there no business going for the green but I pushed it and it went out into the bunker and that a 55 Yard bunker shot literally the hardest shot in golf yeah there’s Roots everywhere hold on hey Bryson hold on though you say literally hardest shot in golf it’s like we’ve learned a lot about you since this whole thing and we will continue on YouTube and ESPN plus and Tik Tok we will see you tomorrow have a great night goodbye ESPN okay so the linear television is now over we are on YouTube ESPN plus and Tik Tok live still there are still people watching but we saw this video from YouTube we don’t know when the video was but this is what you actually said you can give me they would give me nightmares it’s not overwater it’s not a skull it’s not a shank it’s not it’s a 65 yard bunker shot so you yeah you said that on your YouTube and then in the media book uh for live it says shot that gives you most difficulty 60 yard bunker shot okay so that is so now you’re staring down a 55 Yard bunker shot as you walk in there have you already faced your fears enough to get this shot to be one of your best in the game since those quotes have come out or were you thinking about this all the way through the shot out of the sand to what three feet or something like that 3 11 in yeah yeah what what’s funny about it is I actually played at like a 35 yard bunker shot so technically it wasn’t 65 but still it ran out all the way uh you know it ran out that far and it was this 55 60 yard bunker shot but ultimately nobody wants to have that shot in the game of golf it’s near impossible and I hit it perfect guys it was the most perfect shot I’ve hit in my entire career and it was probably the greatest shot of my entire life hey congratulations staring down your fear the Big Bad Voodoo Daddy’s right here all you need to do is go up and down and you win another major another US Open and last question for me before the boys have theirs including AJ like I’m pissed D Shambo okay I spent the weekend with you I enjoyed the hell out of watching you golf the way you swing the way you scrambled five of 15 on Fairways yesterday and still win the entire thing like the way you scrambled the way you handled yourself the composure the USA chance what you represented big win you know was good to see you back the the Potter that was called in the question where you knocking it down everything like I loved weekend then I learned through the thing you can’t be on the Olympic team because you didn’t get any points for the world golf rankings because live doesn’t count because it’s only 54 you’ve made it into the top 10 with just Majors somehow without all the other tournaments that I assume you do well at like where do you stand on this are you incredibly bummed out that you’re not able to represent the United States and I’d like to let you know I think I speak for everybody in the United States we wish you were representing the us at the Olympics brother well I appreciate those words I would love to in the United States it was uh tough for me have to go last last time around because of Co and uh it’s just one of those things that happened and you know hopefully one day this game of golf will we’ll get figured out and come back together and I’ll be able to play um I’m playing Great Golf I’m excited uh but ultimately yeah am I frustrated disappointed sure you can absolutely say that but I made the choices that I made and there’s consequences to that and I respect it uh but hopefully hopefully sooner rather than later we figure that out so um this great game of golf we can get past all that and move forward into showing how awesome this sport actually is around the globe I appreciate you taking responsibility and saying I made choices yada yada y Team USA can make choices too they can say yep put that get the big long ball wack yes they can djo amen go ahead AJ Bryson what time did you end up leaving uh Pinehurst last night it seems like you were there all night I’m watching Johnson Wagner recreate your shot out of the sand and you pop up they give you a mic and you do a whole thing with him and he hits a shot you give him the trophy it was an awesome thing but what made you stay there that long was that the plan or just all everything kind of happened it just all happened I mean the fans were still out there waiting for me they were shutting down the whole Golf Course shuttles were leaving uh the golf course so fans I think a couple fans might have gotten stuck I don’t know but uh I was probably around 12 12:30 because we had to catch a flight I was 12:00 we had to catch a flight around 12:30 uh and then back at where I was staying the whole neighborhood came around and just gathered in support and I signed more back there there’s a police officers around it was a lot of fun uh but it was around 12:30 we left um we had some stuff out of here oh yeah yeah oh yeah did you get that sand out of there you never want to drink sand obviously you don’t no no no we cleaned that out and we got that safe and secured so uh did that and then flew over to Big Apple here today doing a little uh yeah perfect exactly with Todd um doing a little media tour and then now head off the to Nashville tomorrow okay so what uh was the drink of choice out of the uh what’s the name of the thing CLA uh what’s the name of the what’s that thing CL jug is the no that’s that’s the British Open that’s the you to you’re plus thousand or something United States Open Championship what did we drink out of there last night what are we doing we doing Bayers we doing drinks I actually did wine a big big wine guy oh he it was nice it was beautiful everybody drank out of it I I handed it around the office it was a lot of fun um everybody that was there we celebrated accordingly and uh we uh had some champagne out here too we we shot it around the room it was fun did you do the uh the wipe off after you drank the wine out of theun Po like well the pope well I’m not that classy so okay yeah just swallow it back let’s get back to the encourse action go ahead T yeah Bryson one of my favorite moments from yesterday was I think it was on 13 Rory had just made birdie to take a two shot lead and then you just were like all right I’m going to drive the green and give me an eagle op were you always going to pull out driver there or was it a circumstance after we went down to it was actually my Fairway Wood I think as heirway wood right there MH yeah we lost him he’s he’s gone forever oh no yeah they said he yeah he had he had to Club down to hit to drive green and and how high he teas it because he um On a par four uh 316 yards uh for how high he teas it cuz he is one of those long drive guys he worked with the long drive guys it’s like that Fairway Wood there was a good amount he could have won right under that ball oh yeah you know like one of us would have Absol yeah instead he rolls it right up there uh Bryson I believe you were telling us that was a fairway wood 3116 whole 13 Par Four that you drove the green on as you’re losing the lead can you hear us still sorry boys it’s all right you back I’m back I’m right here ready to go okay Fairway Wood almost overd drove the green in a PGA major in an event in a US Open use Fairway Wood Drive the green when you hit this you think you hit a hole in one it was going right at the flag I definitely had a chance and uh when I heard the crowd roar I knew it was going to be somewhat close and and on the green but I had to do it Rory Rory went up two and I’m like oh my God I’ve got uh I got to get get it back somehow this is a problem because Rory is one of the best to play sport ever and uh you know he’s not usually going to give it up uh that easily and fortunately after I pumped it up there and played the way I did got up and down the next hole three putt of the next hole missed like a four footer three and a half footer I was like oh my gosh uh but he missed a couple coming in and I just stayed the course and was steady edti in the last three holes okay so obviously you missed a couple putts he missed a couple putts which is going to be the conver ation I heard you basically sing the Praises of Rory and like basically saying like that sucks that that’s how that went but for me it’s great news if you’re Rory and for you with that three like how do you get that out of there because I’m terrible golfer so I’d be thinking about what happened on 16 probably for the rest of my life if I’m Roar and then on 18 for it to happen again well that’s just because it happened on 16 this is my new normal how do you golfers get on that is it work is it do you do something else what do you think for him everybody has their own coping mechanisms and uh mine for example I just try to be like Dory I just forget I just literally whatever happened immediately P just you completely forget I know it’s so cliche and and kind of funny to say but for me I I literally just don’t even try to think about it and just go forward move forward whatever happened happened when I lost the PGA I was on to the next like oh okay got to go in the next one that was kind of my thought process going into it and that’s the way I hope Rory is and look he’s a great golfer I’d love to have more battles with him love to Duke it out um excited for the British Open next uh next month yeah we need to get that sorted and figured out because we’d like to see you battle with him as well Ty has a question for you D Shambo Bryson you talked about how like your game and kind of you have a p as a person has have grown and evolved but how difficult is it when you’re playing at a place like Pinehurst when you have to be so precise with the greens and everything and you can’t really you know afford to hit a bad shot for a guy like you who can hit the absolute [ __ ] out of the ball like how difficult is it being like Oh I need to play smart I need to play safe here as opposed to just you know like the clip we just saw where it’s like hey I have this in my bag I can drive the green here I can be longer than any anyone else if I have to uh so funny enough I I was trying to say boring golf all week that was my goal and consequently the uh into the tournament I didn’t it was a driver quite a bit everywhere and uh my iron play was unbelievable that week though that that that was the whole key if if I iron played it well and puted well I’d have a good chance CU I knew I could get out of the native area if I didn’t hit the driver perfect I’d still be able to get out of the native area uh relatively okay and my wedge game putting and iron play had to be perfect even though my driving wasn’t uh that’s certainly what I was focused on and shoot boring golf it wasn’t fully boring golf but uh hopefully I showed the fans a little little excitement yeah yeah nobody I mean you had to tell the crowd to relax when you weren’t going for the green one time because everybody wants to see big golf ball Wacker guy I mean that is that is certainly what yeah Bingo okay you understand that though like hey I can do something that not a lot of humans can do they deserve to watch it they’re hot as [ __ ] out here at Pinehurst and let’s give them the show when you’re missing Fairways though and you’re ending up in these native grounds that are can be incredibly dangerous to your game even though you they just talked about how lucky you got every time this guy’s so lucky this guy so like that’s all they kept saying on the broadcast or what I never had a good lie in the native area I’m telling you there was multiple times where it looked like a good lie but when I set the club down there was Roots there was little branches and things like that it was very difficult to hit out of there and and then times when I did have to have somewhat of a clean lie I was standing on the uh bushes and the little little things yeah so it wasn’t I don’t even remember one time where I got a perfect lie with a perfect stance out of there may have been once maybe twice but it was not more than that well good fighting through there what they were telling us is you were incredible spot I mean you you were stepping on the [ __ ] the grass the uh what was the type of grass that yeah F grass sort of thing on 12 I literally had to pitch out sideways so I mean it wasn’t that lucky no yeah Super Lucky super super lucky but as you’re you’re teeing up and you have the way to the world of being big golf ball Wacker guy but we see you take your fairway wood and just put that thing literally on top of the hole for 330 yard drive or whatever how hard is that conversation to have and why did you think you were spraying it so much uh yesterday have you dissected and figured that whole thing out yet yeah so I switched heads right before the round trying to put a fresh head in there to make sure it didn’t spin as much uh curve as much uh because when I hit the ball I flatten faces so you know start to curve a lot more because of that and so I put a fresh head in there and ultimately just didn’t work it in I guess you could say uh and so it was just missing a little bit right and it wasn’t turning over the way it normally does uh with a head that’s worked in but the three-wood it was an easy decision because it was 315 320 yards and my driver goes 330 so I wanted to just smoke something up there right next to the pen instead of fly the green yeah but if you do this on every hole you’re probably 12 under you know like that is so that has to be that has to be a tough legitimately that has to be a tough conversation as you see like the first yeah go ahead it can’t I’ll tell you my driver is usually my strong suit so I don’t know what really happened uh on Sunday but I’m going to go work that out you earned it you earned it you earned it the big me head will be able to figure it out we can’t wait to watch it go ahead Connor yeah Bryson one of the things right away with the tournament was how the greens were when you hear that is that something that makes you think like oh I’m in a great spot then because of the way you drive the ball and how close you can get yeah absolutely um if I’ve just got wedges in all day hit 15 20 feet and hopefully sink a few of those and give myself a great chance a lot of guys having long irons in and um you know they weren’t making as many putts so I try to give myself as many opportunities Al beit I didn’t the last day I made a lot when you win tournaments like this one you got to make a lot of putts no matter what no matter situation he that waset that was really sweet that was a cool that was a cool thing there you know hey what was the deal with these clubs what you got 3D printer made Club what happened with your clubs can can I buy these or no no they’re they’re a one of one um see there we go what’s go yeah what is different so this club right here this is a eight iron see oh no pitching W excuse me pitching W and so what’s different is that you you can actually I got a chandelier above me give me a sec yeah it’s all right you’re the CH you can actually see the curvature on the face it’s a little bit easier Maybe This Way um that’s subtle let me get get you a bigger one so the pitching wedge is the least amount of curve let me get you a better one yes please do please do we would like to understand what the hell’s going on with your clubs because it was a big topic of discussion obviously what do Norm yeah what do normal clubs have so they’re flat faed they’re completely flat so there we go you can you can see it’s subtle but the heel and toe is not flat it’s curved just a little bit here and here so it’s arcing like this where the toe is pointed right and the heel is pointed left and the center of the is pointed straight so if you look at like a three wood five is a fivewood you can see the amount of curvature on a oh yeah on a yeah yeah so you see the heels pointed left toes point to the right and so it’s a modified version of that where I realize I swing it super fast so consequently when I go to the irons I have to have a little bit of curvature at the lower lofted clubs higher lofted clubs the doesn’t matter it’s fine okay so that’s what allows me when I hit on the toe when i h on the toe it starts far the right so most clubs when they’re flat I hit it on the toe it’ll start straight it’ll overdraw hit it on the heel it’ll Miss to the right that’s just what happens with the speed it side spins and curves like that so we offset that by having the geometry point right and left so a little bit more on the toe pointed to the right a little bit more on the heel to the left so it starts farther offline that when it curves back it curves towards the middle and ends up in the middle instead of over curving and crossing the midline seems like that makes too much sense don’t it I I mean it feel are you the only person to ever do this is that why you had to make these specific CL and is this what everybody’s going to do now who swings hard I think a lot of people are going to start realizing how beneficial it is at higher swing speeds so when are you you make your own clubs are you going to have the D sham bombs or whatever are these going to be your own clubs are you going to get in that great name I need to patent that I need to like trademark that or something okay hey sounds like a play you do whatever you got to do bro we’ll dump that so nobody else takes the idea okay to be honest I’m I’m secretly working on something behind the scenes you guys will see it here in the next month or so yeah that would make sense if you created clubs that change Golf and make people better at golf people are going to want those clubs I mean that’s what golf I’m already going to buy 25 handicapper you know every 25 handicapper will buy him and think it’s going to make him good B go I’m the guy that I’m literally on the screen right now I swing hard [ __ ] yeah it actually will okay listen don’t put me on the Golf Channel 3 a.m. I’m buying every [ __ ] pool noodle trying to figure that whole thing out debuts got a question for you hey Bry at this point I feel like you’ve kind of earned the moniker like the people’s champ right now uh and obviously we talked about you know all the content you’re putting out on YouTube where kind of growing the game why is that kind of important to you to grow the game I guess to more people man this this great game has giv me so much starting out in my young life I learned some great character traits of Integrity honor and um perseverance dedication and I think it’s such a great sport to be able to Showcase that to the world um it’s super important for people to see uh H H how people interact with each other the relationship building uh capabilities that golf has um and the connectivity that golf brings to this world and that’s what inspires me to continue to try and grow the game because I believe wholeheartedly that we can bring the world together through the game of golf um and so that’s just my passion I I certainly enjoy seeing a kid’s heart just light up uh when I throw them a golf ball or give them a high five and it just makes the world of difference it makes me believe in humanity makes me believe in the world uh and where where we’re going if if uh we can get this great game to the Forefront of sport that’s wholeheartedly what I believe and so YouTube is a great platform people to Showcase not only myself but what golf is to the world and uh hopefully growing on that platform will gain more more followers for the game of golf It’s a Wonderful game and yesterday was a fantastic Sunday and you gave us moments where you know celebrating Father’s Day we think to ourselves oh this guy’s dead and all of a sudden you pull something out of your ass with this brand new club that you created yourself and uh win another US Open congratulations thank you
