Bryson DeChambeau bulked up for 2020 and has generally been sensational since the season resumed, smashing drives well over 400 yards and as he’s ripped off four consecutive top-10 finishes, including a win earlier this month at the Rocket Mortgage Classic.
DeChambeau will miss the cut at this week’s Memorial Tournament, however, after a comedy of errors at the 15th hole led to DeChambeau carding a quintuple-bogey 10.
After bogeying the 14th, DeChambeau came to the 15th tee at 1-over par for the tournament, safely inside the cut line. What followed was disastrous. DeChambeau blasted his first shot into a hazard, and after taking a drop, hit a wood out of some thick rough, missing his target. DeChambeau’s ball eventually came to rest underneath a fence out of bounds – but DeChambeau argued with a rules official that his ball wasn’t OB. He asked for a second opinion, but a second official did not side with DeChambeau.
Some highlights of Bryson’s 10 here. We pick up the action after the drop from the burn and contemplating a rather ambitious third shot. His attempt to claim his ball under a fence was in bounds shows a level of creativity beyond the rules of the game! pic.twitter.com/H83AeOyVuM
