We're spotlighting Bryson DeChambeau's jaw-dropping performance at the Ryder Cup, specifically his monstrous tee shot on hole five—a 603-yard par-5—that landed just 70 yards from the pin. Can you imagine carrying over water and bunkers with such precision? We'll break down the physical feasibility and risk versus reward of such daring plays. But that's not all! We discuss memorable moments at Whistling Straits, reminisce about iconic shots from Jordan Spieth, and revisit John Daly's infamous frustration on the par-three seventh hole.
