00:00With DeChambeau, boy, you know, he's figured it out, as far as I'm concerned, with the fans.

00:04Like, when he's done, he walked through that gallery, high-fived like 10,000 people.

00:09Like, he went from side to side, just high-fiving every kid, giving balls to kids, high-fiving, kissing ladies.

00:15He's got it figured out. They love him.

00:19This started at the U.S. Open last year when he won.

00:22And he had, remember, he brought the trophy out with the crowd.

00:25And everybody, you know, everybody loves the YouTube videos that he does.

00:29He might be, and look, I think Rory's like a lover.

00:34Rory's popular. He's a lover or a hate guy, Rory.

00:36You know, Rory's kind of become like the Yankees or the Cowboys or the Lakers.

00:40You either love or you absolutely hate him.

00:41He's not as cool as this kid DeChambeau to people.

00:44Bryson DeChambeau might be the most popular fan-wise guy in golf now.

00:51And I know he plays a living, that's sacrilege to say.

00:53But Scheffler's the best golfer.

00:57But I don't think Scheffler has, like, the fan love.

01:01He's got the personality of a bear in the woods.

01:04That's why.

01:05And Bryson is out there.

01:07And he's, like you said, I just saw him.

01:09He gives you the big fist pump when he makes that big putt on 18.

01:12He comes out.

01:13He starts out.

01:14He's a guy that's like a man of the people.

01:16The people love that.

01:17When a guy comes out and he's showing emotion and he's into it and he's playing well on top of that,

01:23that's what you love to see.

01:26And Bryson's had – remember people hated this guy two years ago?

01:29I don't think that – he was a little misunderstood.

01:31People thought he was nuts with how he's, you know, swinging 1,000 miles an hour and hitting the ball.

01:37He's got personality and he's turned himself around and people love him now.

01:41Pretty obvious.

01:42Man, it would be great to see him win.

01:45If one of my guys don't win this week, and I might add Bryson tonight going into the weekend, I hope he wins.

01:51That would be something else if he pulls another major out in the past year.
