Bryson DeChambeau says game suited for links golf
Bryson DeChambeau pushed back on the notion that his game is not suited for links golf, saying Monday that he "can do anything and everything" based on the conditions.
DeChambeau prepped for his fourth appearance at The Open with a practice round with Phil Mickelson on Monday afternoon at Royal St. George's in Sandwich, Kent, England.
Despite two missed cuts (2017, 2019) and a T51 in 2018 in his previous Open appearances, DeChambeau said his game is adaptable and that he loves "this style of golf."
"My best is when I can do anything and everything,'' DeChambeau said, per ESPN. "I can hit a low driver bullet, if I really wanted to do. And when it gets really windy I will flight it down. So the conditions dictate everything. I hit it high at the U.S. Open because that's what was required.
"But I won't know until (that) day. The conditions could be completely different, the wind completely opposite. Downwind I might be fine or if it's into the wind I've got something totally different.''
It's DeChambeau's first-ever appearance at Royal St. George's and first tournament with new caddie Brian Zeigler, who worked with the golfer for the first time Monday. DeChambeau parted ways with longtime caddie Tim Tucker two weeks ago.
"Tim and I are good," DeChambeau said Monday. "He's a good friend of mine, but that was a tough week and glad to move on from it."
