2020 U.S. Open Film: Bryson DeChambeau's Breakthrough at Winged Foot

[@headintheclouds6935]

I wish the PGA youtube channel would make these videos more consistently like USGA and the Open. I've been dying to see the collin morikawa 2020 PGA and Mickelson 2021 PGA as documentaries for ages

[@tholekyl]

There’s a whole Morikawa Harding Park video on ESPN+ exactly like this

[@Twistsayin]

Bryson has helped me work harder at my golf game. Looking forward to a great year of golf and Bryson getting dialed in and having some big wins.

[@yummystuff238]

Not showing his drive on 18 on sunday is a crime against the sport of golf

[@freshcoolbutta]

Huh? He hit a 3 wood into the rough

[@codyf296]

Mr. Dechambeau seems like a great man. I met him at a local course and he was so so good to me for no reason. He raised a champion.

[@Drinking_and_Golfing]

People went from laughing at Dechambeau for his changes in game to complaining about his changes in game.

[@pigs6486]

Most criticism is that ugly swing, slow play, and his entitled attitude. That Ben Hogan hat is a terrible look on him too, he looks like Popeye. To be fair, he's getting less douchy as time goes on.

[@Drinking_and_Golfing]

@@pigs6486 True, but I was referring to how people laughed at how he put on muscle and increased his ball speed. When he started winning, so those same people began complaining about his new approach.

[@wywax_]

@@pigs6486 that “ugly swing” has the highest ball speed on tour and other than DJ his club face is closed the longest with the swing. Also you clearly don’t know a lot about him he’s actual quite a nice guy that does a lot for charity. keep being jealous though I heard it always helps

[@pigs6486]

@@wywax_ I like Bryson, I saw him live at Torrey last week and was glad he was wearing a normal hat. Being a white knight for the guy is some of the gayest shit ever though, don't project your sad life onto me, thanks.

[@0Architectdude0]

@@pigs6486 I think there’s a lot of golfers that are way more entitled and rude than Bryson but they don’t get any media coverage, so nobody knows

[@le-oc3yx]

I've been waiting for this one, thank you!

[@bobsofia68]

I was unaware of Bryson's Fathers health issues, that alone was an inspiring story. I feel Bryson got an undue amount of hate from the press a while back for varying reasons and I'll root for him for a good long time for that reason.

[@incognitobtd6187]

Tons of respect for Bryson.

[@thaynethomas1352]

I was literally thinking about where this was yesterday. Lfg

[@jumpguyty]

What a great video. Nice to see Bryson being represented properly.

[@noahthomas4341]

Looking back at it. Fans should have been here 😂🤣

[@JohnDoe-jl1dv]

Bryson and his style of play is the future. If you’re not on board, you’ll get left behind.

[@KlueLuke]

Congrats on Bryson getting another one in 2024

[@kelvindawe5123]

What a brilliant video please keep these coming and bryson has got a forever fan👏👏👏👏👍

[@shaneWARs1]

I no we where lucky to watch on TV but it definitely wasn't the same with out the fans watching you can really feel the energy come though your TV with fans

[@matthewtemplin4172]

This is exactly why I think DJ's Augusta record low of -20 should have some sort of asterisk. Having the roars throughout the course adds pressure. When its quiet the entire weekend it puts absolutely no pressure on golfers

[@seanmcguire3654]

Waiting for the 2022 video

Taking the high road...atta boy!!

Thanks Ron God Bless

why is it that it looks like roger maltbee produced every single usga video

This looks like a screenshot recording of a video, something must have went wrong rendering/uploading this! Otherwise a fantastic video :)

[@morrislee8016]

Bryson uses graphite shaft of his irons?

[@nickmanville900]

Yes he has a line of graphite shafts with LA Golf

[@jcdova29]

Come on Bryson put your sh&t together and win more majors.

[@jessik222]

And now he has 😊😊😊

[@mika300300]

Any danger of showing some actual golf rather than interviews and sob stories. Cheers

[@dorothygale1104]

Why do you say that? The conditions for all players are still the same. I haven’t heard sny player claim that the pandemic was an advantage or disadvantage for anybody. So, why would events held during lockdown be adterisk events?

[@MrJoel9679]

We live in an age of rapid innovation. The idea that we won’t see advancements and multiple philosophies launching into an international game is backward thinking. Soon we’ll see a new driver design and real estate prices in the golfing world will go through the roof as they have to buy more land. If they try and hold golf back they’ll just open the door for a new competition.

[@dorothygale1104]

You are obviously unaware that existing club and ball technology doesn’t represent even the application of existing technology. The USGA & R&A have existing club and ball specifications that limit technology application. New ball specs are in the process of being revised aimed at throttling back distance the ball flies. The idea that technology advances must be implemented and are inevitable is not nearly the reality of golf given that ball & club specifications that qualify for use under the Rules of Golf are governed worldwide jointly by the USGA and R&A. The criticism of even the existing club/ball technology is that it has taken a significant amount of skill out of the game. The idea of golf clubs buying additional land to lengthen holes to accommodate future technology advances resulting in longer distance is akin to MLB using aluminum bats and altering stadiums to accommodate longer distance a baseball would be hit. That is exactly what the ruling bodies are working towards preventing because (1) buying additional land is not nearly a possibility at courses in general and more so around the best championship courses, and (2) great courses that represent some of the best golf course architecture ever have alteady been made obsolete for championship golf due to inability to lengthen holes. Unlike baseball, for example, that uses the same technology in equipment, such that comparison can be made to performances of past players to current players can be mDe, the same isn’t true in golf due to significantly difference in technology, which begs the question of whether the skill of the player is producing 350+ yard drives or is the technology producing those results. I started playing golf when woods had persimmon heads and Callaway’s coming out with its first metal woods when I was 17-18. Overnight I immediately gained distance with the same swing snd that doesn’t even take into account ball technology that even further inreased distance. Dben if subsequent technology advances aren’t considered just the switch to 1st generationo metal woods produced results that had nothing to do with skill. It would be interesting and informative to see players of different skill levels use clubs & balls used at vsrious periods of the past and compare results using current technology to grt an idea of how much of current results are attributable to technology vs. skill.

[@NonnyStrikes]

20 min opening about the pandemic. Fail.

[@karlosfandango6637]

Yep. I turned it off. Plandemic.

[@gasperstarina9837]

12:50In Covid times he was 100% on juice (can be as TRT but you can't builts that frame in goog 6 months) I love him but you can say anything he was juiced here period

[@nickmanville900]

You'd be surprised what someone with the best nutrition experts, no budget, extreme work ethic, and unlimited time to devote to the gym can accomplish in that time. He gained about 50 lbs, probably 10-15 of which was muscle. Theres a good chance he was on a few PED's, because everyone in professional sports is if we're being honest. But I dont think there's any real evidence he went overboard with it. He doesnt have steroid face, crazy delts, or gyno lol If people are going to call him out, Tiger and Koepka I think are more obvious steroid users.

[@gasperstarina9837]

@@nickmanville900 had puffed face, can be because he gained lots of fat. I mean weight helped him a lot but yes there was no much muscles or if it did he got lots of fat too.. I know and some people have genetics which is huge factor - you have nattys you would say they are on PEDs and there is at least these days many many PEDs users and don't even look like. I was natural, worked in the gym so trained, i got wnough rest and the best thing I was asked: are you on steroids 😁 and you have kids at 14,15 steps in gym as 80lbs and goes thru puberty and gym at the same time and I was just like: jezus christ those kids..but its puberty testosterone, genetics, training, food,.. I went work as a cop, didn't train and nowadays I see kids on TikTok on test-tren cylcle with dbol and deca for first month...just crazy

[@Kevin-l4]

I hope no I know the USGA are aware that a lot of the players in this great tournament are now not on the PGA . Majors need to have all the top golfers and not be determined by whats becoming a rapidly artificial ranking system weighted to one tour .

[@pigs6486]

Course was built for him.

[@dorothygale1104]

Why do you say that. In past Opens at Winged Foot, long hitters didn’t perform unusually well, with winners being average length hitters of those times. I think Bryson would have done well on any course based on the way he was playing at the time. He was at the to in the 221 Open at Torrey Pines well into the final round until he had a few disaster holes. But the fact that he was at the to of the leaderboard for so long in the 2021 tournament supports jis theory that longer drives even in the rough is the advantage and not whether a player’s game is suited to a particular course. Of course, the dest of his game had to be on point as he is not claiming the driving distance alone will produce wins.

[@fionnmaccurtain8896]

Will Bryson be a one major wonder?

[@flytii]

wins in any sport during the lock down have an asterisk

[@SirTylerGolf]

Why? Was this us open any easier to win than others?

[@flytii]

@@SirTylerGolf it was easier in the sense that the crowds were minimal. Crowds are a factor. Collin Morikawa was notorious for not dealing well with the pressure from playing in front of large galleries, and his pga and open championships, no crowd and minimal/docile gallery respectively; those two majors did help collin get more comfortable w pressure and nerves but those two wins can be attributed to the global climate at the time. nba bubble chip was the same and the playoff format.

[@SirTylerGolf]

@@flytii so that would make it easier for some and harder for others. Easier for all wouldn't even make sense. If anything, it made it harder to win for Bryson, because he's very clearly a crowd guy.

[@flytii]

@@SirTylerGolf it's dependent on the person. jordan and kobe loved crowds especially the raucous ones while others shy away and fold under pressure. it's just the nature of the person generally speaking.

[@SirTylerGolf]

@@flytii right, so what's your asterisk here? 2020 US Open champion - Bryson DeChambeau* * - it was harder for him than it would've been without covid

[@dttruman]

He already has problems with his body. With all that working out and swinging as hard as he can, it has taken a toll on his body and he is till trying to recover.

[@mitchconner2021]

Bryson is good and all but he'll never be the best in the world only caring about driving 340+

[@zachmcnew5251]

And what have you accomplished?

[@MetallicaRules]

Good thing he’s a damn good putter then as well

[@dorothygale1104]

Bryson’s theory that statistically better scores wi be achieved by hitting a 340+ yard drive and hitting shorter 2nd shot even from the rough vs. hitting a shorter drive and hitting a longer 2nd shot from the fairway. His theory / strategy isn’t about hitting long simply to hit it long. He inly hit 18 fairways with rough long enough that dome players lost balls in it, so his theory worked at lesst for this event. He has won 8 times, so there appears merit to what he is doing. He may not get to #1 by hitting longer drives, but there isn’t any greater probability of getting to #1 if he was hitting the ball 50 yards shorter.
