OMG: Bryson Might Try Carrying the Water on the 555-yard Par 5 This Week

Bryson DeChambeau mentioned today that he may try to shorten the 555-yard par 5 6th hole at Bay Hill this week by carrying the water to get on the green in one.

WHAT??

Thought I would attempt to carry the 6th hole today (340 with the carry). Wind was brutal and I came up short (only gave it a few tries), but might be something I go for if the conditions are right. We’ll see. 👀 @APinv @FlightScopeGolf @cobragolf pic.twitter.com/0GObXvoYWV

If you don’t know the story, John Daly tried this in 1998 and ended up failing so badly, he ended up carding an 18 on the hole.

A bunch of others have tried it, like Long-Drive Champion Justin James.

Well, the good news is that he thinks he can get there. If the wind is in his favor, he may just go for it. And it’s been a long time since JD tried in in competition, so I think we’re due for another crack at it.

If anyone will try it, it’s going to be Bryson.
