Charlotte, NC – there was no shaky practice, just a ball climbed two inches away from the ground and sent like a rocket, trying to trim the corner. So you will play Quail Hollow’s 2nd hole when you hit it as long as Bryson Dechambeau.
It was on Tuesday afternoon, after the storm of storm had come and the sun returned, a small number of soaked shoe spectators had to watch Dechambeau Wallop that shot. He did not bother to look down on the ground. He saw him take a slight left turn, drawing on the exact line he wanted and left to catch his finger. Everyone else saw it glued to the tree in the corner and fall down to the rough. A few minutes later, Dechambeau stood under the tree, begging for a volunteer discoverer for information.
“Where did the tree hit?” he asked. “No, as high up on the tree au hit? “

The answer was not clear. But Dechambeau did not seem to need confirmation. He was already convinced that, in the heat of the moment, he would have no problem covering it. Standing about 30 yards behind Dechambeau on the road was Russell Henley, thinking of his business. The shooting of their approach both failed to grab the green slope, where the holes were cut, and the two rolled within each other’s inch. For just one moment, it felt that this championship could be a right game for any kind of player.
But if you have paid attention to this PGA championship, or any of the past tours played in The empty quilDiscourse has woven an obvious topic: This is the paradise of a bomb. And while occasionally it can be awake to zago away from anyone who can take their hands in a microphone, this week will be smart to simply fall on the line. This long and wet PGA championship It will be won by one of the longest players on the field. Vegas likes dechambeau for a reason.
You should also like Dechambeau. Especially if you were one of those who continued to see it on Tuesday. He traversed the right path to no. 3 While Henley’s low bullet drive waited too far to the right. Of those shots, it was a high medium iron in the sky for Dechambeau. For Henley, it was a lumber from thick items. Both were confined to green and, again, ended up in similar positions. Another victory for the short boy! But the strain on those victory exhausts a man over 72 holes.
Henley is one of the 15 best players in the world, but you will not choose it to win, show or even place in the first 10 places this week. At his best show in Quail Hollow, in 2023, he grabbed a T10 conclusion from the jaws of physics, directing it shorter than almost everyone, colliding as a genius and placing it as a magician. It will need his a-game to hang this week, given how far the ball strikes. He knows it, based on our short dorm in the middle of the 5th Street, where, once again, the lack of its length was on the show.
Henley had hit two lower cuts, peel, both taking about 10 meters of flip on these good roads. He is setting shares in that T10 completion last year, in part because there is no other solution. This course was not decided on his game, and Mother Nature has made it worse. Since the beginning of the week, the course has received more than one inches of rainfall, all except for the many inches a week ago.
Creators of the terrain crew in Quail Hollow are doing their best to purify the water from the streets of the fair, hoping they will avoid competition rounds by being damaged by muddy balls. Entirely is completely reliable, the first round will be played under the conditions of elevator, clean and the country. So much rain has fallen as, according to an employee, the discussion is not about how quickly the water would evaporate, but where they could set for now. The Maintenance team mowed Fairways on Tuesday afternoon, when they did not need, mainly just to move the water around and see if there is more room for it to gather elsewhere.
While Henley spread through a long iron in 449-Oborrets, up 5, Dechambeau waited, about 50 or 60 yards in front of him, without stress and in the center of the road. Since starting to follow the distance, Dechambeau has made Quail look small. His last two trips to this course (in 2018 and 2021) have produced two 10 best. He threw some balls into one of the bunkers and hit some sky balls from the sand that gently landed in green. There was nothing forming for these shakes, not too much to really win from their results. Only the ominous feeling that one of these men will have a much easier time playing golf this week.
