Faldo fascinated with DeChambeau's brain

Three-time Masters champion Nick Faldo likes the way amateur Bryson DeChambeau’s mind works and is looking forward to seeing how his approach holds up not just this Masters’ weekend but also through his professional career.

Faldo on DeChambeau’s one-plane swing and uniquely designed equipment: “He goes for the straight ball. I asked his coach, 'What is your go-to shot?' Straight. That's a bit of an eye-opener, because that is quite tough to do, really quite difficult to do. Most of the greatest players’ shots moved one way or another.”

Faldo on DeChambeau’s attitude: “This is the most important thing: When you listen to him, self-confidence and self-belief must be running at 100 percent, to be a great golfer.
