Bryson Will Get Most Of The Early Week Masters Attention, As He Should

The Bryson DeChambeau show arrived in Augusta for the November Masters and he’s got the 201 mph ball speed ready to go:

On top of that, DeChambeau’s recent round at the course included some eye-opening approach yardages:

During a recent round at Augusta National with Sandy Lyle, Bryson had some eye-popping club selections into holes, including:

#1: Sand wedge
#2: 8-iron
#8: 7-iron
#10: Pitching wedge
#11: 9-iron
#13: 7-iron (hit 3-wood off tee)
#15: 9-ironhttps://t.co/lC8P1Wa1hN https://t.co/nYTmgveKbS

Of course this is all how it should be. The best player in the world right now is arriving at Augusta National with a game and distances like we’ve never seen. The opportunity to dismantle the place and render the course obsolete is real. That is easily the top storyline and one most of us who’ve seen the distance complacence by multiple governing bodies come to this fruition (including during Masters Chairman Fred Ridley’s USGA days).

Now, whether this assault on the place and focus on one player is what the Lords of Augusta like, is another thing.

Then again, Phil Mickelson was putting with a fairway wood on Sunday so…

Phil has arrived at Augusta... and he’s trying something new on the greens? 🤷‍♂️
