AUGUSTA, Ga. – The scene was straight out of the World Long Drive Championship spectacle. Bryson DeChambeau would consider that a compliment.He took a slow practice swing, then the next one at full force.
Eyes focused, deep breath, chest fully expanded, exhale. Another violent practice swing. And another. Just then, a leaf blew in front of his ball.
He stooped over to flick it away, and started the routine over until he was ready to smash his tee shot at the TPC Summerlin in Las Vegas.Wait.DeChambeau walked over to his bag, removed a wrench and tightened the screws on the bottom of his driver.Joaquin Niemann couldn’t suppress a smile as he watched this unfold.
