Fireworks and a couple of large slices of luck keep big-hitting American’s slim chances of landing the Claret Jug alive
earlier this year has curtailed his power of late but DeChambeau reckons he’s back up “to 97 to 98% now. There’s every once in a while where my hand gets tired, fatigued still. I’m going to start speed training here again. I’m like around a 190mph ball speed. I can get it to 200mph, but it’s just not worth it out here.”
“Look, I’m trying to win a major, so I’m trying to play where I can have the best opportunity to make birdie,” said DeChambeau. “It’s fun. I know I’m going to get booed. I have no problem with that whatsoever. If anything, it’s good banter.” From thereon in, every shot was either veering wildly towards a hazard, or nestling beautifully next to the hole. The former was certainly true at the 16th, a double-bogey brought about by a wild, wayward tee-shot, and four disastrous putts.
But from the asphalt, DeChambeau found some magic, pitching his ball against the bank, and perfectly trickling it onto the green.
