He said, “He (Pratt) told me something really, really good, and it helped me out… He said, Bryson, you have to take yourself away from that. The person you are off the golf course is not going to be the same person you are on the golf course. You can’t be. People’s perception and their idea of who you are is, unfortunately, going to be a fictional character.”

Pratt advised him to play the role of that character on the course. However, he reminded him by saying, “When you’re off the golf course, be who you are. And know who you are. And don’t let that fictional character change who you are.”

However, when things go a little south, he says, “I have to retract and be like, ‘It’s okay, no big deal.’ I understand they’re doing that because either; one- they wanna be in my spot or two- they’re just drunk.”
