PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – There isn’t as much room for creative expression this week at TPC Sawgrass, but Bryson DeChambeau said he’ll at least explore an alternate route to playing the 18th hole.
After his victory Sunday at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, DeChambeau teased the idea of going down the adjacent ninth hole instead of taking on the 18th hole as it’s designed, with the dogleg left around the pond. DeChambeau said that going left, down the ninth hole instead, would better open up the green for his approach shot.
Though he hasn’t yet played a practice round, DeChambeau said he’ll likely play the finishing hole normally.
