Padraig: Bryson's Doing A Twelve-Second 100 Meters, Has Another 20 Percent In The Tank

Martin Dempster quotes Padraig Harrington in advance of this week’s Dubai Duty Free Irish Open and the 2020/21 Ryder Cup Captain shared thoughts on a variety of topics. He’s also monitoring the weather that might have been this week at Whistling Straits (it’s literally as perfect as you could hope), but also chiming in on Bryson DeChambeau’s U.S. Open victory.

“With the capabilities at the moment, I would say Bryson is swinging at about, if you compare it to 100 metres, he’d be running at 12 seconds. The human capability, he’s running 100 metres at about 12 seconds at the moment, so he’s still got another 20 per cent more in the tank in terms of human capabilities for other players to come along.

He also made this prediction about the women’s game and the speed chase:

“I actually think the biggest change could come in women’s golf. You’re going to get a woman out there playing well into the mid-170s ball speed and would be competitive on the men’s tour.”
