NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa. â This Bryson DeChambeau, heâs just ⊠different. Right? Weâve known that for years now. Weâve celebrated it, weâve stomped all over it, weâve come back for more, which gets us all caught up and brings us to late on Friday afternoon, suppertime calling, the round crawling, and Bryson playing from 10 to the house with no chance whatsoever of making the cut. And still, there he was, Bryson in full.
Example: In your life, have you ever seen a golfer, pro or am, pick something out of his ear with an extra-long tee? Well there was Bryson, doing just that, like a Q-tip. Itâs unlikely his playing partners, Rickie Fowler and Ludvig Aberg, noted this act of aural care. Golfers are in their own world. We just are.
On the par-4 15th, Bryson made what we 90-shooters call a double sandy. He drove it in the right trap. His second shot found a home in a left greenside trap. His bunker shot was indifferent. He holed a mini-bomb for a 4. Does a two-time U.S. Open winner with a billion (or whatever it is) YouTube followers even know the term? You wonder.
Note to self: Ask Bryson about 15.
Itâs amazing how it can go, if youâre Arnold Palmer in his prime, if youâre Tiger Woods in his prime, if youâre Bryson DeChambeau in his prime. You show up at a major venue on Thursday morning and the main thing youâre thinking about is another notch on your belt. Another Grand Slam victory attached to your name forever. Palmer died with seven. Woods nearly died with 15, and it doesnât seem likely that heâll win another. DeChambeau has those two U.S. Opens. Will there be other major victories in his life? We donât know; we canât know. Nobody knows.
In the meantime, heâs golfâs $500 million (or something like that) free agent. It canât be easy, being a professional golfer with a unique swing, a reinvented personality and a number that big attached to a notably broad back.
At the Masters, DeChambeau made a triple-bogey 7 on 18 and missed the cut by two. And still he signed autographs on his way to the scorerâs room. At the PGA Championship, here at the never-looked-better Aronimink links, he shot 76-71 for seven over. The cut was four over. In addition to a thousand other things, Bryson DeChambeau is a stock price and his stock is rising and falling all the time.
