Paul Azinger: On-air ‘steroids’ remark about Bryson DeChambeau taken out of context

It was surely meant as a compliment to Bryson DeChambeau, who was putting the finishing touches on a six-shot rout at Winged Foot.

“Validation on steroids.”

NBC analyst Paul Azinger uttered those words on Sunday during the final round of the U.S. Open.

It was surely meant as a compliment to Bryson DeChambeau, who was coming up the 18th fairway at the time, looking to put the finishing touches on a six-shot rout in the 120th rendition of the national championship.

DeChambeau has been dogged by the steroid accusations. Putting on all that bulk and bragging about all those protein shakes will do it, it seems. But the insinuations are unfair nonetheless.

Azinger explained to Golfweek by text message that his words were taken out of context.

“If anyone was thinking I was implying that Bryson was on steroids they completely misinterpreted that,” he said. “They get tested twice a week for crying out loud. Bad choice of words. He took a lot of (bleep) and validated everything he’s done. If that needs cleaning up then the world has gone to hell.”

Still, it certainly made everyone’s ears perk up during the NBC telecast.

Lynch: Bryson DeChambeau fancies himself a scientist, but he won the U.S. Open as a game-changing worker bee

Bryson DeChambeau single-mindedness might have been the biggest factor in determining the U.S. Open winner at Winged Foot.

MAMARONECK, N.Y. — It shouldn’t be a surprise that a championship that prizes a metronomic style of golf — fairway, green, rinse, repeat — should fall to golf’s most metronomic player, but the U.S. Open victory of Bryson DeChambeau illuminated the extent to which modern power golf, and the tools with which it is played, have neutered what was once the most formidable test in the game.

In adopting a scientific approach to every aspect of his game, DeChambeau expects his carefully (some might say laboriously) calculated input to deliver a predictable output, which is an awfully high happiness bar to set in a sport that is hostage to the vagaries of chance, bounce and weather. Such a mindset would seem to guarantee frustration, and frustration is the very stress fracture that the U.S. Open is designed to locate, from which it will then prise a man open until it exposes every other weakness he didn’t think he had.

But that kind of U.S. Open is now a relic of a bygone era, one when courses were characters in the narrative and none evoked more fear than Winged Foot. Strategy is now dictated not by course architects but by player preference. The main peril DeChambeau faced at Winged Foot would come from a potential swing screw-up, not the USGA’s course set-up. Limit the former and the latter doesn’t matter. He did, and it didn’t.

Sunday’s final pairing was an intoxicating juxtaposition of style and temperament. Matthew Wolff carries himself with the cheery nonchalance of one blessed with youth, talent and good looks. His golf swing is all flailing limbs and shuffling feet, suggestive of a man trying to shake loose a wasp trapped in his pants. DeChambeau, on the other hand, has an almost endearing awkwardness to his personality, as though it too has been as carefully constructed as his swing. He squares up to the ball with all the fluidity of rigor mortis, as though waiting motionless for the wasp to exit his pants — to get crushed.

Before the round, Wolff warmed up with just his caddie on the practice range. DeChambeau marched in trailed by an army of hangers-on and sporting more technical firepower than the Marines had at Khe Sanh. He ripped a succession of tee shots with a force and trajectory that might have unnerved pilots approaching Westchester County Airport. He was on the range after dark Saturday night, and he brought the same intense rigor to every shot during Sunday’s final round. DeChambeau is all about power, not pace, and studies his little guidebook (emblazoned with B.A.D.) as carefully as a condemned man reads a last-minute communique from the governor.

But for all the mockery he is subjected to (some of it deserved), it bears noting that while there are plenty of golfers on the PGA Tour more talented than DeChambeau, there isn’t one who can be bothered to outwork him. That reality will one day be altered — by life, relationships, family, physical frailty — but for now, he is the most single-minded man in golf.

He is also the most polarizing man in the game, which is an estimable achievement in the era of Patrick Reed. His occasional absence of self-awareness and hints of narcissism rankle fans. His contention that he is essentially reinventing the game doesn’t win popularity contests in the locker room, suggesting as it does that his peers aren’t smart enough to have done it themselves. But there’s truth there.

DeChambeau has reinvented the game, and his impact will only grow. He will prompt a reimagining of what constitutes a modern U.S. Open test. He will hasten a reckoning with untrammeled equipment advances. He will force a rethinking of PGA Tour marketing, which still cleaves to a vanilla presentation of players that doesn’t engage modern, fickle audiences. And he will revolutionize how future generations of aspiring Tour pros develop. He is, simply put, the most important player in golf. He was that even before he won at Winged Foot.

This was not the most thrilling of major championships, but then U.S. Opens are typically as repetitive as NASCAR races, as competitors try to dodge disasters and fans eagerly await a crash. Leaderboard charges seldom occur, at least not in an upward direction. This is a tournament in which standing still has long been celebrated as advancement, but what we witnessed from DeChambeau at Winged Foot represents real advancement, not all of which will or should sit easily with golf’s many constituencies.

Let it be the final indignity of the COVID era that the man who most animates golf fans claimed his seminal victory in front of a smattering of volunteers and officials, and had to celebrate via video call with his parents.

Just another way in which this U.S. Open — and this U.S. Open champion — is quite unlike the 119 that preceded it.

Bryson DeChambeau wins 120th U.S. Open at Winged Foot as lone player under par

Bryson DeChambeau was the lone player under par at the 120th U.S. Open, winning his first major championship at 6 under.

The quest for distance has now produced a major championship.

After adding 40 pounds of muscle, the bulked-up Bryson DeChambeau flexed his muscles and won the 120^th U.S. Open with a strong performance on Sunday, claiming his first major title at 6 under for the tournament with a 3-under 67 in the final round at Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, New York.

DeChambeau was the only player to finish the tournament under par and his Sunday 67 was the lone score under par in the final round.

Rising star Matthew Wolff, who held a two-shot lead entering the final round, fizzled throughout the finale en route to a dimming 5-over 75 and a second-place finish at even par.

After the two contenders made a pair of eagle putts on the par-5 9^th hole, Wolff made the turn at 1 over, one shot back from DeChambeau, who turned at 2 under.

Wolff bogeyed No. 10 to go two down, then DeChambeau made birdie on No. 11 to go up three shots. The lucky breaks Wolff admittedly received on Saturday DeChambeau received on Sunday, specifically off the tee on the par-5 12^th. DeChambeau’s drive landed in the rough and kicked out to the fairway. Wolff hit almost the exact same shot, different result, nestling down in the rough. Both players would make par on Nos. 12 and 13.

In fact, DeChambeau made par on his closing seven holes.

Wolff failed to go on a last-minute charge, making bogey on No. 14 and double on No. 16 for a disappointing finish to an impressive weeklong performance.

With the win, DeChambeau joined Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods as the only players to win the U.S. Open, U.S. Amateur and NCAA Div. I individual championship.

Winged Foot in talks with the USGA about becoming part of a future U.S. Open rotation

The USGA has discussed going to a rotation for several years, and Winged Foot is in talks about becoming part of that rota.

MAMARONECK, N.Y. – The celebration was beginning to gain momentum as Bryson DeChambeau and Matthew Wolff played the back nine at Winged Foot.

After so many ups and downs, it’s been a memorable week at the U.S. Open.

The members were largely upbeat as they finished up their chores on the West Course and hustled back to the volunteer pavilion to watch the conclusion on a large screen by the pool.

“At the end of the day, this is still golf,” Winged Foot president Brendan Boyle said, noting the impact of the ongoing pandemic. “It’s been a tough six months for society in general, so we need to keep it all in perspective. There has been a lot of heartache throughout, but for anyone in the New York area who values golf and appreciates golf, we’re just thrilled we could actually have this tournament.

“Everything seems to have come together.”

The safety plan was executed with discipline. The weather more than cooperated. The course stood up to a new generation of stars.

And the club is already in talks with the USGA about doing this on a regular basis.

“The USGA has spoken to us, and we’re early in the negotiations, about a rotation and being sure that we are part of that rotation,” Boyle said. “The governance here is such that we have to go to the membership to get approval. There are lots of things that have to fall into place, which is one of the reasons we wanted this week to go smoothly. So, there are details to be worked out, but if the USGA is going to a rotation and let’s say there will be six or seven permanent venues, I can’t imagine that we wouldn’t be part of that as long as everything works out for both parties.”

[vertical-gallery id=778066967]

It’s an idea long employed by the R&A for the Open Championship.

The USGA has discussed going to a rotation for several years and took another step in that direction recently when it formalized a deal to relocate part of its operation to Pinehurst, N.C. and play the U.S. Open there in 2024, 2029, 2035, 2041 and 2047.

Winged Foot has played host six times now.

The U.S. Open is scheduled to be played at Torrey Pines Golf Course next June, then moves to The Country Club (2022), Los Angeles Country Club (2023), Pinehurst No. 2 (2024), Oakmont Country Club (2025), Shinnecock Hills (2026) and Pebble Beach (2027).

Other courses believed to be in consideration to join Pinehurst in a rotation include Shinnecock Hills, Oakmont, Pebble Beach and Torrey Pines.

An obvious return date to Winged Foot would be nine years down the road to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Bobby Jones’ U.S. Open win here in 1929.

“We can’t predict the future, but I will say this, with all that we have come through this year, it’s really highlighted the great partnership we have with this club,” USGA director of championships John Bodenhamer said on the eve of the championship. “I don’t think (Winged Foot) has left any stone unturned, from keeping their golf course in premier condition through an incredibly hot summer and a busy membership, to really adapting to a no-fans U.S. Open, all the testing protocols, and just, really, the club’s spirits. The leadership’s spirits have been tremendous.

“This is not what they signed up for. And it’s just been a real testament to the perseverance on Winged Foot’s part, and we could not be more grateful. And I assure you that will be recognized.”

Once the negotiations with the USGA are complete, the plan will be presented to the membership for a vote. No timetable was shared.

Like a majority of the members here, Boyle volunteered all week.

“I kept on getting thanked by members,” he said. “I worked all four days as a walking scorer and so I got to see everyone out there and the quote I heard most was, ‘I feel like I’m watching the World Series from the dugout.’”

The club was eager to open the gates to the public and share the historic venue for a week, but the pandemic made that impossible.

Everyone on site had to be tested in advance. There were daily health and security screenings for the 2,000 or so essential workers allowed on site.

“The attention to detail by the USGA and more importantly the staff here at Winged Foot has been tremendous,” Boyle said. “The course itself, between the USGA and Steve Rabideau and his group and the volunteers who came in to help, they just did a terrific, terrific job. And the amenities for the members who volunteered and some of the outsiders who helped, Colin Burns and his staff just did a bang-up job. We’re really thrilled with the way it’s turned out.”

A wide majority of the players agreed.

“It’s an unbelievable golf course,” Justin Thomas said. “It’s for sure my favorite U.S. Open venue I’ve played. … It’s fair. If you play well, you can score and make birdies. For the most part a lot of the pins are bowl pins, but if you don’t (play well), it’s brutal. I just think it’s all right in front of you. It was not overly firm, it was not overly fast. The USGA did a great job setting it up for us this week. Very easily they could have had 15-over par win this week if they wanted, and it was very fair and right in front of us.”

The breakdown will begin on Monday.

“Because we didn’t have the 35,000 or 40,000 spectators, we’ll get everything back quickly,” Boyle said. “The West Course, we should have members playing on Saturday. The East Course, it will take a little longer because some of the infrastructure has to come down, but I anticipate we’ll get most of the course back in two or three weeks.”

Which hole locations to look for at the final round of the U.S. Open

Golfweek’s David Dusek discusses the key hole locations for the final round of the U.S. Open at Winged Foot Golf Club.

Matthew Wolff: ‘I feel like I have the game to win’ the U.S. Open

Matthew Wolff, just 21, will start the final round at Winged Foot with a two-shot lead over Bryson DeChambeau, four over Louis Oosthuizen.

[jwplayer fkd7SBLC-vgFm21H3]

MAMARONECK, N.Y. — We knew these kids were going to be good. Probably really good. We just didn’t think they’d be this good, this fast.

Six weeks ago, Collin Morikawa made his PGA Championship debut at TPC Harding Park and won. The 23-year-old held off veteran Paul Casey and a pair of former world No. 1s, Dustin Johnson and Jason Day.

Matthew Wolff, 21, shot a Sunday 65 and tied for fourth that week while playing in his first career major. Morikawa may have missed the cut this week at the 2020 U.S. Open, but Wolff has taken up the slack here at Winged Foot Golf Club.

After starting the day at even-par in his U.S. Open debut, the bearded Californian lit up the West Course on Saturday afternoon, shooting a front-nine 30 and finishing with a 65 on a day when the average score was 73.6.

Wolff will start Sunday at 5 under (205) and begins the day with a two-shot lead over Bryson DeChambeau and a four-shot lead over Louis Oosthuizen.

Conventional wisdom holds that even a gifted player is not going to win in his first U.S. Open. After all, it has been 107 years since a golfer won a U.S. Open in his first appearance, and that golfer was Francis Ouimet, who triumphed as an amateur in 1913 at The Country Club in a playoff over Harry Vardon and Ted Ray.

But like Morikawa in August, Wolff is proving that he’s not your typical newcomer. He is mature, maintains perspective and has experience playing in high-profile events, so the spotlight doesn’t blind him or scare him. Wolff won an NCAA Individual Championship while starring at Oklahoma State and already has a victory on the PGA Tour at the 2019 3M Open.

Asked if winning a U.S. Open was the natural next step in his career, Wolff thought for a moment.

“I feel like I’m ready to win out here and win a major,” he said. “I’ve been feeling really good, really confident, and with my mindset right now, how I’m thinking about the game is really good. I really think that I can go out there and play really well.”

He certainly did that on Saturday. He hit a glorious approach on the very first hole from 155 yards to 14 feet, then made the birdie putt to move to 1 under. He made a 15-foot birdie putt on the fourth hole before going for the green on the 332-yard sixth. That shot found a greenside bunker, but Wolff’s sand shot stopped 5 feet from the cup to set up another birdie. His tee shot on the par-3 seventh stopped 13 feet from the flag to set up another birdie, and then on the par-5 ninth, he blasted a 377-yard drive for his fifth birdie of the day.

“If he plays the way he played today, catching him is going to be almost impossible,” said Xander Schauffele, who shot 70 and will begin Sunday at even par (210).

The list of things that the U.S. Open winner receives is impressive, including an invitation to the next five Masters, British Opens, PGA Championships and Tour Championships. There’s also a five-year exemption on the PGA Tour and a spot in the next 10 U.S. Opens. Oh yeah, and a check for $2.25 million.

Wolff is not going to think about those things tonight, however. He’s planning on dinner in his hotel room with his caddie, Nick Heinen, and wants to watch the Celtics play the Miami Heat.

“It is a major. It’s really important, and yes, it is really early in my career, but I feel like I have the game, like I said, to win,” Wolff said. “Collin won at 23, I’m 21, and I’m not saying that it’s going to happen, but I mean, I put myself in a really good spot, and obviously I’m feeling really good with my game, so I’m just going to keep on doing what I’m doing and whatever happens, happens.”

U.S. Open: Winged Foot has a history of mugging young men with a lead, but Matthew Wolff has an edge in final round

MAMARONECK, N.Y. – Saturdays at the U.S. Open are golf’s equivalent of a show trial in that competitors are presented an opportunity to mount a defense, but even casual onlookers know only a fortunate few will escape the gallows. So it was …

MAMARONECK, N.Y. — Saturdays at the U.S. Open are golf’s equivalent of a show trial in that competitors are presented an opportunity to mount a defense, but even casual onlookers know only a fortunate few will escape the gallows.

So it was appropriate that the final pairing in the third round featured the two most polarizing and oft-accused men in the game, ensuring that the most luckless person at Winged Foot would not be among the 62 players but rather in the ranks of the rules officials, one of whom would be summoned in the event of an issue.

Patrick Reed and Bryson DeChambeau could scarcely be more opposite in how they approach the game. DeChambeau surrounds himself with a retinue on the range, while Reed is shadowed only by his caddie.

DeChambeau boasts more sponsors than a NASCAR driver, while branding on the man who won the Masters in 2018 is as sparse as on a catholic priest.

DeChambeau revels in his new-found distance, launching missiles that cleared the fence at the back of the driving range, while Reed averaged 47 yards shorter in Friday’s second round.

DeChambeau swings with a scientific expectation that a predictable outcome should result from his carefully calibrated input, while Reed is all about scrambling and avoiding the consequences of his missteps.

One guy who demands precision, another with a gift for escaping prison. Neither archetype typically thrives in a U.S. Open environment. But then this is not a typical U.S. Open.

The absence of spectators means that what would otherwise have been a coliseum of New York hecklers was instead about as noisy as a group of meditating librarians.

“It just makes it a touch easier for the guys at the top,” Rory McIlroy noted. “You’ve got Bryson and P-Reed out in the final group, and any other U.S. Open final grouping you’ve got those two guys, things are going to be said and tempers are going to flare. Even if those guys don’t have to deal with that today, it just makes it a little different and maybe a touch easier if you’re in those final few groups.”

And it’s not just easier for the lightning rods.

In the PGA Championship at TPC Harding Park last month, Collin Morikawa had the luxury of playing for his first major victory without the huge crowd that amplifies every charge and pratfall on the Sundays that matter. He might well have won anyway even in that fan crucible, but their absence clearly didn’t hurt. Twenty-one-year-old Matt Wolff is a kid who—like Morikawa—enjoys crowds, but—like Morikawa—he will have the same hushed environment Sunday as he bids—like Morikawa—to capture major No. 1 in only start No. 2.

“It’s one variable you just don’t have to deal with,” McIlroy said.

Wolff leads by two shots with 18 gauntlets to be run.

Saturday night leaderboards at majors are often reminiscent of the shadiest street in a college town, where some wide-eyed youngster is having so much fun that he doesn’t even notice he’s surrounded by wily vultures who figure he’ll get mugged before reaching home safely.

Forty-six years ago at Winged Foot that kid was Tom Watson, who led entering the final round but ballooned to a 79 as one of the guys lurking in the shadows, Hale Irwin, eventually won. In ’06, Kenneth Ferrie played the role. He too stumbled, but Geoff Ogilvy (an old head on young shoulders) snatched the valuables before veterans Phil Mickelson and Colin Montgomerie.

As the sun sets on Winged Foot this Saturday night, there are men in the shadows who ought to concern young Master Wolff. Like McIlroy, the 2011 champion, who shot 68 in the third round. Or Louis Oosthuizen, who owns one major but who, with a little luck here and there, could have five. Or Hideki Matsuyama, who carries the hopes of a continent on his shoulders. Or Xander Schauffele, the pick of many this week. And of course, DeChambeau and P-Reed.

They’re all chasing, but they’re chasing a neophyte who hasn’t been here before. The hunters know it. So does the hunted. But this prey has one thing that will stand him in good stead: perspective. After his round, Wolff talked about a friend’s struggle with cancer, and how even on the cusp of achieving a lifelong dream of winning the U.S. Open, golf is far from the most important thing in his world. He may be the youngest man on that leaderboard, but he is far from being the least mature

So much of the professional golf calendar has been lost or juggled in 2020, and even the events that were salvaged have been conducted amid a disquieting vibe that is two parts gratitude, one part fear. The first real sense of normalcy has been provided by this Open as the USGA tightens the thumbscrews daily with all the tenderness of a medieval jailor. Sunday will be no different.

And even if there are no boisterous spectators to remind Wolff that he’s in a dogfight for a major, Winged Foot and the caliber of his pursuers certainly will.

U.S. Open: The conditions were right for a late charge at Winged Foot

Winged Foot rough was measuring at least 6 inches and has not been cut since the U.S. Open began. It’s longer around many of the greens.

MAMARONECK, N.Y. – A cool wind blew across Winged Foot until the players on the first page of the leaderboard began walking from the practice area to the first tee.

It made all the difference.

There were birdies to be made before lunch, but they were harder to come by. Conditions were on par with Friday, with firm and fast greens. Very few players survived the first five holes without a bogey.

Or two. Or three.

Paul Casey made five bogeys in the first seven holes, then rebounded with six birdies in the last 11 holes as temperatures warmed.

“In all honesty I kind of wanted to walk in after the first five, six, seven holes,” he said. “It was just ugly. In fairness, it was incredibly difficult out there. It was windy this morning. It was cold. Those first few holes with the wind straight into your face on holes 1, 2 and 3 are just very, very difficult.”

Casey’s 1-under 69 got him back to 5 over.

Not every pin was tucked away in a corner.

The rough was measuring at least 6 inches and has not been cut since the championship began. It’s longer around many of the greens. The putting surfaces were again firm and clocking a solid 13 on the Stimpmeter at the start of the day.

Danny Lee had an episode on the 18th green, six-putting from inside four feet. He walked off with a quintuple bogey and promptly withdrew from the U.S. Open, citing a wrist injury.

That is by far the nightmare moment of the championship.

“I think anything under par on this golf course today is a really good score,” said Rory McIlroy, who made up ground with a 2-under 68. “I saw Alex (Noren) go out there and shoot 3-under earlier. You know, I’m not saying it’s out there. He got a good one, I did, and there’s maybe a couple other guys that are under par. The wind is not quite as strong as it was yesterday. You know, it maybe played a touch less difficult I’ll say. Not easier, but it was a little less difficult.”

The gusts did occasionally inspire debates about club selection.

Winged Foot played to a stroke average of 72.6 on Thursday, the lowest ever here in U.S. Open play. The number climbed to 75.3 on Friday. It slipped somewhere in the middle on Saturday.

“It feels like I should be tailgating right now,” Zach Johnson said of the crisp, fall-like temperatures after he signed for a 68 that got him back to 2-over for the championship. “Thursday conditions were as easy as they could be. That’s was the easiest Winged Foot U.S. Open you’re ever going to see. And today, this morning was not easy, I gather that, but the wind kind of calmed down. We actually had stretches where there was none, so you could get at it.”

McIlroy expects Sunday to be difficult no matter the weather and is confident a challenge is possible from as many as six shots back at the start of the final round.

“You’re going to have stretches in U.S. Opens where you’re going to make bogeys and you’re going to make mistakes, but if you can back it up with stretches of golf like I showed there, that’s what you have to do,” he said. “It’s not going to be all plain sailing in this tournament.”
