‘Baffled’ Bryson Dechambeau teases ‘tricks up sleeve’ after the close call of PGA

For the second year in a row, Bryson Dechambeau completed the race in it PGA championship. It was the latest in a range of major results in Major for the crazy scientist turned into golf golf -turned golf -turned golf; He has now registered five first six ends (including an open US win) in his last six starts. But for the second consecutive PGA – and the second in a row – it came out of the course focused on what it may have been.

“I don’t even know. I’m deceived now,” Dechambeau said when asked to appreciate his performance. “I just felt like things just didn’t go my way this week.”

Some things went on his way, of course, as much as he finished the week T2. But this reaction was partially inspired by an 18th hole of the hole that he could undoubtedly still enjoy. It was also partly evidence of the performance of the next world of the tournament and no. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who was the only golf player to beat dechambeau – but the fact that he beat him by five It made the breast feel especially important.

Mostly Dechambeau looked “annoyed” because he felt like he had the game to win, and because through nearly three rounds he was in a position to do so. He would play his way to the top of the leadership table late Saturday afternoon, before falling on the stage 16 and doubled 17, two of the famous brutal holes of “Green Mile”. That messy place left that six back Scheffler turning to the last Sunday round, and though things done Tighten – Dechambeau briefly got inside two lead shocks – he would dig a very deep hole.

“It was a good fight, a good battle, it takes a lot of it. Just burning a bigger fire in my stomach,” Dechambeau Balionis told CBS after the round. “Definitely had an opportunity to defeat Rory (in last month’s masters) and definitely had an opportunity to give scottie a week. Although I was leading to the third round – or after 16 holes in the third round, but, man, I just didn’t do it.”

However, Dechambeau’s week cemented two things as a fact.

One, he is part of the high level of the current era of men’s professional golf; He is probably a half step by Scheffler but in good company with Rory Mcilroy and Xander Schauffle as boys most likely to grow when the lights are brighter. It is no coincidence that those boys have earned each of the last six diplomas. (We can argue who comes a half step from there-ion Rahm, surely, plus some other flames.)

And two, Dechambeau is climbing to this last level being itself. It means bowing to his human personality, playing on cameras and high fans in every opportunity. And that means embracing his innate curiosity and bowing to his inner junkie – that meant his mind was already upset before the paint had dried up on his outcome card.

“I have to learn how to be a little more accurate with the wind, not let the wind affect the ball so much,” he told Balionis. This is especially difficult for him, he explained because he hits the ball much higher (and harder) than most of his peers. But he harassed a possible change in works, in Bryson trademark fashion, on live TV.

“I’ve got some tricks in my sleeve I will work and hope to bring to SH.BA,” he said. “I have to get some equipment here soon.”

What-fi What-fs of Dechambeau continued after his hit on CBS; When he spoke about the media collected, he scored, permanently, through lost opportunities and shooting that they could be.

“I have a dozen shots I could see again and be like,” man, that could have been different. “And we’re seeing another story,” he said.

As for the specifics of the equipment?

“What I really think should happen. Being transparent here is just getting a golf ball that flies a little closer,” he said.

Feel free to support your eyes from it- A closer golf ball? Take us with us, Bryson! -But Dechambeau’s external thinking has unlocked efficiency through the bag and it is reasonable to think that it can break new ground with the ball, too, especially at its speed.

“Everyone speaks of how straightforward the golf ball flies. Well, up from 190 (MPH the speed of the forehead) like Rory and I, it’s actually quite difficult to control the golf ball,” he said. “The forehead leaning out very little and it is hit by the wind very little because our golf balls are just in the air longer. So I’m seeing ways to correct it so that my wedges are even stronger so they can fly harder.”

This sounds like a challenge for his engineers. This sounds like bad news for his competitors. And it sounds like great news for golf fans, whose most intriguing characters are locked in a gun race – and each seems to continue to get better.
