SAN DIEGO – Bryson DeChambeau’s mission to change the game of golf suffered a setback this week at the Farmers Insurance Open.
One of DeChambeau’s face-on putters was recently deemed non-conforming by the USGA. This week, with a putter shaft that was in the back of the clubhead, not the center – “It’s not as efficient” – DeChambeau once again struggled on the greens. ShotLink statistics are available only on the South Course, but he lost more than four shots to the field on the greens, ranking 149th out of 156 players. Missing the cut after rounds of 78-74, he has just one top-30 finish worldwide since June.
