Fresh off winning his first major and doing so in dramatic fashion, Bryson DeChambeau had a lot to say. The long bomber talked about his equipment, his transformation and what the future holds. You can watch the press conference below.
With the craziness that has been 2020, the Masters is looming just two months away. A course that historically has shown that length can be helpful but not required (see Zach Johnson, etc). Slipping on the green jacket can also be done without the most accurate tee shots.
With Bryson coming off a huge victory at Winged Foot and doing so as the only player under par, what does the next Major hold for him? Is anything less than a victory a let down?
You tell us! How will Bryson DeChambeau fare at the 2020 Masters in November?
One thing I know, if he says he is going to put on 15-20 more pounds, I am not doubting him. It seems like whatever he puts his mind to, he can and will accomplish.
I am not going to say anything less than a win is a disappointment, but it definitely will be to him.
I believe he had an equipment story last year with going into DGS400 in his irons and wedges and having a grip that was more normal in weight.
That said, I’m still a little concerned for him for playing off uneven lies. I couldn’t tell how bad the fairways and rough was at Winged Foot but Augusta has a bunch of awkward lies even out of the fairway.
While he’s the current hot topic, I think 2 months is a long time away and I’m not sure if he can maintain sharpness in all aspects of his game till then. Even after quarantine and his stellar run, he did fade back for a bit. I hope that valley doesn’t appear since he could be a very fun watch at the Masters with how he played this past weekend.
Still. It’s slightly better than Reed.
What kind of prediction is this? Are you a politician?
? He T-25’s, no real threat to the leaders come Sunday.
Gamblers, here is your missed cut guarantee.
I don’t know if the April Champions Dinner will be Steak & Chocolate Milk, but if Bryson does win, he’ll annoy the heck out of everyone there. Can you imagine him at the Champions Dinner?
He’ll sit between Jack and Tiger ("We’re the Wolfpack")
He’ll host the first dinner with sponsor product placement.
He’ll talk about pumping up.
He’ll serve chocolate milk.
He’ll continue talking about pumping up.
He’ll wonder why Rory isn’t there.
He’ll give Spieth several inexplicable tips.
He’ll describe how he putted his approach on 2, drove the green on 3 and played 13 from the 14th fairway.
He’ll complain about the not one, but two slow play violations he received.
He will explain how he overcame them using his anti-slow play and focus governors.
He’ll ask 84 year old Gary Player to compare abs.
He’ll tell Gary Player he will have better abs at his age.
He’ll have no idea why "that guy" is here. (That guy will be Charl Schwartzel).
He’ll ask Danny Willett to refill his water glass (because 2 Majors > 1 Major)
He’ll be surprised when no one asks for a second glass of milk.
But he will have steak, and in my mind, that balances it out.
Cut.
Looking up stats in previous majors for him.

After last weekend I couldn’t help but to laugh thinking about the first Bryson thread on here. The one where he was getting slammed for being different, using one length clubs and there were so many that said he’d never win.
Will anything less than a win be a let down? No, unless he completely falls apart.
I am pulling for him. I love it when all the naysayers get shut down.
I can’t wait to see what he does with the 48" driver.

More finesse to Augusta. And much more offline potential without the rough. If he can blast that driver in the fairway?
Nothing stopping him then. But I just have a sneaking suspicion the wedges will be more an issue at Augusta. One Length on notice?
Also more uphill/downhill shots that don’t favor brute strength as much.
Very much look forward to the Masters. Hope they get conditions to really test them again.
It all comes down to performance, which is fickle, but the guy is Ben Hogan level obsessive, Dave Pelz level data driven, and has the body and disposition of the Terminator.
He’s really the only person out there that could potentially be a revolutionary figure. Not so much just from raw distance and power, rather his breaking down the game into a science and being able to cope with that much thinking while still performing.
I do feel Bryson is going to be very competitive at the Masters. The smash and chip idea could go a long way for the time being and it may be the final nail needed to the Bifurification of clubs. I seriously hope they don’t use Bryson as the reason to hurt the other 99% of golfers out there that are not going to be him.
Bryson is going to be a force on the PGA and I look forward to watching him versus the new young guns. The Masters is going to be very exciting.
