After a 7-under 65, he clearly has a different level of respect for the Masters course and a more reserved approach.
AUGUSTA, Ga. – The jokes came fast and furious and Bryson DeChambeau has had to live with the fallout., although at the time and the way he was playing, it actually made some sense.
“I said it and I respect people’s opinions on it,’’ said DeChambeau after matching his best round in a major championship. “For me, I have a level of respect for this golf course that’s a little bit different than a couple of years ago, and clearly today was a great test of golf, and I was about to conquer a very difficult golf course today.
But that’s when DeChambeau was bulked up, having gone through a weight-gaining and strength-building program that saw him hit the ball prodigious lengths. And, yet, Langer beat him, 71–73, as DeChambeau tied for 34th. In six appearances at the Masters as a pro, he’s never cracked the top 20, missing the cut each of the past two years.
DeChambeau credits a lot of his success to an equipment switch last year to a new driver just before shooting a 58 during the final round of the LIV Golf Greenbrier event.DeChambeau was so stoked about his equipment, including that new driver, that he wanted to get an early start on Masters prep. He visited Augusta National in early January—when the weather was cold and the course played long—to get comfortable with various lines off the tee. “I’ve got great respect for Augusta,’’ he said then.
When asked again about the 67 comment, he said, laughing: “You’re trying to pigeonhole me into saying that again, aren’t you?
