LOS ANGELES – Despite all of the poor form and off-course drama, Bryson DeChambeau still believes when he gets to a major championship venue, his distance presents a considerable advantage.
Recent results make it hard to argue.
In his past three majors, DeChambeau has a pair of top-10 finishes with a missed cut at the Masters sandwiched in-between. He left Oak Hill Country Club and the PGA Championship oozing with confidence, which rolled over into a 3-under 67 in the first round of the U.S. Open.
“You put everybody on a really difficult golf course or a testing golf course, I feel like someone that can hit it far has an advantage if they're able to somewhat keep it in play,” he said.
