Dean Burmeter, a 36-year-old by South Africa, comes from a wild athletic family.
whether His Wiki page It can be counted, Dean’s father, Mark, played for the national team of Zimbabwe’s cricket; One of his cousins, Ryan, is the best spearfisherman this side of Tiger Woods; And his mother, Michelle, holds the Royal Harare GC’s Royal Course record in the northwest of Zimbabwe. Or made since 2022.
Dean took his talent from his mother. If you have found your way to this article, you probably already know that he too is a golf player, and an extremely talented. Burmeter has won 15 times in all Dp Tour World and the sunny African tour; He has played in 12 large championships (13 if you count this week) and made the cut into nine of them; He currently holds a start-up country in Louis Oosthuzien’s Liv team, The Stingers.
If none of this impresses you, it will: Burmeter can also hit a 1-Hakuri. like truly hit one. Now, in righteousness, the 1-Irones are not blades and switches that used to be. They have grown with meat and thanks (you can read everything about their evolution in This excellent part by my colleague Jack Harsh). But STILL. A 1-Long! With the distances that stand out, today’s goods can tear their long handcuffs, how, why do they even worry about one?
Burmeter, who is one of the longest hittings in the game, did not ask this question directly after his first round even-par 71 in Championship (Three birds, an eagle), but he was asked about the strength of his game, which issued the answer:
“For me it’s long handcuffs. I really like to hit 1- and my 2nd-i-i-i finger. When I go to golf links, I start rubbing my hands together. I’m really excited. Yes, this is my great strength.”
This answer captured my colleague’s ear Sean Zak (yes, another screaming but guaranteed associate!), Who asked a wonderful continuation-“Why does it rub your hands together?” -and some other questions related to 1-then after that.
“I just think he plays in my hands,” Burmeter said. “I can hit a 1-Hekuri here, over 300 yards, and other boys can’t do it. I feel like I have a great advantage here when the fairways gets up and becomes fiery and windy. It comes out flat, fields 260, and it goes forever.”

Joining Liv changed his career bow. But open feels like old times
Burmeter estimated that he hit “six or seven” 1-Insights in the first wet and windy round, spraying on the (also rare). Deuce was his club elected in the first dizzying hole, where his Burmeter Lau Tee shot several ticks under 250 yards on the right side of the road. In general, Burmeter struck nine of the 14 right roads in the first round – only seven players hit the most – everyone as they directed the field to the car’s distance to 328.2 yards.
Burmeter, who plays Srixon Z-Forged Iron Iron, said about five or six years ago he lost faith in his 3rds, which made him begin to deal with a 1-Hekuri. His club clubs built it one at the Dunhill Links event in Scotland, where he said, he ended up seventh that week. He said he also enjoyed success with the club in the 2022 open championship – “the streets of the fair matured so much, I didn’t even hit the driver” – and he didn’t look back.
