Dechambeau insists nothing different after a big return to the open
Bryson Dechambeau said he was ready to go home after a round of horror of 78 in the British Open on Thursday, but after retiring to his father’s mantra to never give up, he withdrew with a six under 65 on Friday to raise his hopes to make the cut.
My Guiea It resembled a high handicap hacker occasionally on Thursday, on one occasion managing an air kick while he tried a baseball style rhythm in a ball embedded in a deep height in a bank.
By the end of the round, where he did not manage a single bird, he seemed to want to be everywhere, but Royal Portrush, leaving to sign for a seven-year card.
Asked what he was thinking at the time, the American said, “I want to go home.
“But I woke up this morning and I said,” I can’t give up. “My dad always told me never to give up, just forced to go on, and that’s what I did today. I was proud of how I was fought.”
He was of course another player after his early start on Friday, finding seven birds and a noise to sit down one-more, but he said there were no major changes in his approach.
“I’ve played just like me yesterday. That’s golf links for you,” he said.
“I executed pretty much the same shots as I did yesterday. I didn’t feel like playing anyone else. Today they just went more on my way.”
Dechambeau, twice the US Open champion, has a miserable record in the open, with a better eighth conclusion connected in 2022 sitting along with three lost cuts and one 33 connected, connected 51 and connected 60 of its seven efforts.
“In order to be a full golf player you have to win here. That’s something I have fought to do,” he said.
“I have played well in the moments when it is dry and the greens are more durable … but when it becomes as chaotic as this, with the wind that goes in every way, fully rolling 18, you have to be a full golf player that pivots in demand.”
Dechambeau, famous for his Left Field Club connection, revealed that he had practiced with a new ball he thinks he could help with his control, but said he was too soon to put him into action.
“It is coming; it will be here, the worst scenario of September, but a repetition of him in the next two weeks.
“I need a golf ball that in the wedge can click on the face more constantly. I get a lot of slides on my face just because of how vertical I am and how much attic I have … so getting something that comes out in a more stable trajectory in adverse conditions is really the goal.”
