Well since he has been on tour for about two minutes vs Woods 20 some years I would think he might get worse instead of better. He is not my cup of tea and never will be. Don't know why I just can't warm up to this guy, but he is just too much to take.

Maybe part of the problem is you drink tea out of a cup. Jk.

PA-PLAYA As much potential as he has, yet based on his bipolar-like emotional mannerisms - he's still a ways away from having the type of mental control to handle that degree of pressure imo. They'd be doing this kid a favor if they didn't consider him.
If Hunter Mayhan was in tears over a chubbed chip shot, I can't imaging what Bryson would do in the same situation. Head explode? This game requires a HUGE ability to manage expectations and emotionally recover from bad shots. He has neither right now. He may have a short career.

Funny, but I only drink coffee.

It wouldn't be good to put him in that situation. Not right now. Wouldn't be fair to him at the moment.
I'd just like to see him smile a bit more, not be so critical of himself, so stressed out. I've watched several rounds this season where he was a big part of the coverage, playing well! and yet he just didn't seem like he enjoyed it.
He would not be the PGA's poster child for growing the game, not based on how miserable he seems much of the time, even when he's doing okay.
All I know is that if I ever look up and see Bryson in the bell tower, I'm taking cover.
KCee Many people feel that engineers are odd ducks, but as an engineer I can tell you that physics majors are the whack jobs....I say this as kindly as possible.
I sort of like that this kid uses single length irons and has memorized a book like The Golfing Machine, but a guy like that is probably never going to win over a crowd like Arnold or Phil. Usually you lock a physicist in the lab and let them go; you don't let them loose in the public lol.
So, so true.
I work with both and can agree wholeheartedly.
Although, there are the occasional wacky engineer who shouldn't be out in public either.
As simple as he tries to make his swing, every time I see it I think went it goes South he's in trouble. He won't be able to correct it.
He is a 2 time PGA winner and he lives in Clovis, CA, WTF?
Nice win for DeShambles!
I love watching the shot-tracer on his approaches.....really all these guys.....it's like a heat seeking missile to the pin. Amazing how dialed in these guys are.
Gonna be really interesting with him on the Ryder Cup team!

I think his hat is made from a hybrid fabric made of carbon fiber and spandex and is explosion proof. The fabric materials is why it is referred to as a "CS" hat.
IMO the reason DeChambeau is good and playing as good as he can is his single plane swing and equipment that fits that swing methodology. It's paramount of DeChambeau to have his equipment fit and play this way. It's his single plane adoption first. When I hear single length is why he is doing well that's so far from the way I look at it. He is a player unto himself no other player I see swing this way Kuchar included. JMHO!
