It’s been 2 years since Bryson DeChambeau joined LIV Golf, PGA Tour pros must be over it right? No, wrong. And we’re here to tell you exactly why. You see, just when DeChambeau thought his game was taking shape for the better, it took a brutal hit and Tour pros are not shying away from taking a jab on the LIV golfer for that.
“I remember you’ve got to drive it well. So far, I’ve been driving it well this season. Hopefully it continues,” Bryson DeChambeau said recently, and we think the golfer has jinxed his own form. DeChambeau’s gameplay relies heavily on precise driving and strategic planning, which makes Quail Hollow’s bomber-friendly layout a potentially good fit. Add a little emphasis on ‘potentially’, if we might.
He knows that great irons and a full set of clubs are crucial for confidently attacking flags. Still, his recent comments about driving well might be premature, given his mixed results in majors aside from his U.S. Open success. “I reflect on it a couple days after, take away what I need to improve, whether it be my iron play or a little bit of this, a little bit of that,” he said, and the ‘little bit of that’ is indeed affecting his game in the PGA Championship.
After Round 1 at Quail Hollow, which saw DeChambeau land outside the top 70 at T71, golf analysts and PGA Tour pros are taking a jab at his driving skills. “Bryson’s distance control is shocking for a guy who works so hard on the range and has all the numbers dialed in. Legitimately perplexing,” wrote PGA coach Jon Sherman. PGA Tour golfer Michael Kim took it one step further and took a subtle jab at the LIV Golfer by writing, “Give him time til tomorrow. He’s not used to playing on Thursday”, hinting at LIV Golf’s infamous playing format.
Still am perplexed. Drives it like a god and not cashing in. https://t.co/vnY0DoLr2I
