Bryson DeChambeau is ‘living on the razor’s edge,’ but for now his driver ‘sucks’ at the Open

CNN — The crowds slowly grasp who is on the tee box and the whispers intensify. Christopher Lee/Getty Images DeChambeau’s group at the 149th Open at Royal St George’s – alongside Jordan Spieth and Branden Grace – was one of the most popular of the opening round, attracting a large following as the trio of golfers make their way around the famous course, which is based in the county of Kent, known as the”Garden of England.” The Open was canceled last year due to the coronavirus pandemic so it’s understandable why the fans would be excited to see the world’s best golfers compete in the UK. Wherever DeChambeau roamed on the Kent course, fans followed in his footsteps – as well as a constant chorus of: “Come on Bryson” – some witnessing for the first time the golfer’s sheer strength. “If I can hit it down the middle of the fairway, that’s great, but with the driver right now, the driver sucks,” the 27-year-old said after his round. … My game is a constant work in progress and so is controlling my emotions.” READ: Georgia Oboh: Nigeria’s first Ladies European Tour player DeChambeau lines up a shot during day one of The Open.
