– Bryson DeChambeau was one of the great protagonists of the second round of the Brooks Koepka's theory of making golf as simple as possible”>WGC Workday Championship. Not only because of his card of 64 shots, equaling the record of The Concession and signing the best lap of the day with Collin Morikawa, but because of the enormous difference with the first round. Nothing less than thirteen strokes. From 77 on Thursday to 64 on Friday. Night and day.
No one like Brooks for big dates
DeChambeau did not go to great lengths to explain the difference. “This is golf, these things happen. Some days you hit the ball better and other days worse. The difference is today I have hit the driver much better and I have been able to be placed where I wanted more times », he assured.
So far nothing particularly relevant. What was surprising was his confession of what went through his head when he had a bad day on the golf course. “I am concerned about the effect it may have on the fans. I work as hard as I can every day to try and show amateurs that there may be an easier way to play golf. When I miss or make a lot of shots, a bad turn, of course I worry because I feel that I can disappoint those who expect something from me. I want people to understand that everything I do is for the good of our game,” he admitted.
Day to forget for Sergio and Rahm at The Concession
DeChambeau’s reflection is deep and goes far beyond one result or another. He knows that he is immersed in a revolution and wants to carry it out against all odds. He is brave and generous. “This does not mean that I alone carry the revolution on my shoulders, I also want to play well for myself, but not only,” he clarified.
In this sense, DeChambeau has revealed that he is working with Cobra for a technological development that could allow him to have greater control over his drives at 200 miles per hour. «It makes me sleepy that when I fail it is by a lot. I have to try to reduce that and it’s not a question of swing. More things are needed, technological support. Until now, no one had regularly hit drives of more than 200 miles per hour and we are learning. I don’t fail much, but my failures are very big. We are working so that when I fail, that I will continue to fail, the margin of error is smaller », he pointed out.
Tee Times WGC Workday: Good dance partners for the Spanish this Saturday
– When Brooks Koepka He assures that normally each year he does not get into the rhythm of the game until THE PLAYERS arrives, one thinks that his previous results must be catastrophic…. Well, don’t believe. He said that yesterday and the reality of the data is that between January and THE PLAYERS since 2016 he has won twice and has also added eight top ten. Man, bad, bad, what is said bad, it does not seem, but you already know that the sensations of golfers are often unfathomable.
By the way, Koepka explained yesterday the technical gesture which has made him feel more comfortable on top of the ball when he kicks. «In the backswing I feel that the club goes more inside. Until now, he took it straight back and almost always when he hit the ball he ended up closing the face of the club. However, with that feeling he hit much better. I feel that it goes inside and then I let go of the face in the downswing to free it… The sensations are very good».
Hovland’s monumental twist on his last hole of the day at WGC Workday
– Billy Horschel revealed a conversation yesterday that players participating in this week’s WGC Workday should thank the PGA Tour for preparing the course. “Talk to Gary Young and he explained to me that the superintendent of The Concession wanted to put the greens at 13 or 13.5. I’m glad the PGA Tour took over because I think we would have looked silly at those speeds. Not only would the course be much more difficult, but there would be a lot of impossible flag positions,” he noted. We will see if there is no call from the superintendent to give a twist. Surely the field does not want you to win with a result lower than -15.
By the way, Horschel says that this week’s tour reminds him of the Masters. “There are many holes where the strategy is to think about how to make an easy par and not go looking for the birdie.” One more fact about Horschel: he is the leader in greens in regulation and fairways taken…
The uncomplicated golf by Brooks Koepka
– The second day was more than one stroke easier than the first. It didn’t seem so soon, but obviously the only explanation is that the players are learning the tricks of this interesting field better. Perhaps that is why the bad day of the Spanish hurts even more.
