One Man's Pain Is Another Man's Gain, Files: Bryson Appreciates Hearing That Rory Regrets Pursuing Speed

I know he’s not taking pleasure in Rory McIlroy’s struggles but pride that a peer recognized the difficulty of “chasing speed” while still playing good golf as Bryson DeChambeau has done.

From DeChambeau’s third round press chat where he was asked about McIlroy’s comments from the day prior.

Q. I don't know if you heard what Rory said yesterday about he got into chasing distance because of what you've done. How does that make you feel?

BRYSON DECHAMBEAU: You know, I appreciate it, first off. The second comment I would have that -- I wasn't trying to influence anybody. I was just trying to play my own game and hit it as far as I possibly could. And I knew there was going to be an affect. I didn't know what it would be or who would be affected by it, but again, golf is a weird game. This journey that I'm on is not taken lightly. I've tried to figure out a bunch of different variables that you have to in order to hit it straight, hitting it really far. I knew that there would be some people that would try and some people it would potentially not work for them and some people it may help them. So I really don't know that, but I do appreciate Rory's comments, it's kind of a sentiment almost and something that keeps me going every day.

It’s a journey not to be taken lightly, that he has right!
