Golf – US Open 2020 The golfer vindicates the golf of weightlifters
The USOpen crowned Bryson DeChambeau, the golfer who in just four years as a professional has gone from embracing science to focusing on strength. From burying balls in epsom salt to check if the center of gravity is right or looking at atmospheric pressure parts, to turning to a nutritional process and lifting weights last winter to gain about 12 kilos of muscle, although he only recognizes a few 9, with the sole objective of giving the club more speed and thus gaining much more distance.
The effect was immediate: after confinement He went on to lead the classification in distance, 18 meters longer and 80 more than the PGATour average. In the Tiger era, where golfers abandoned vices to introduce physical preparation, DeChambeau succeeds in requiring a hypertrophied front end in order to compete on equal terms. To that line of dizzying swing golfers belongs Matthew Wolff, the young American who barely held out in the last round until hole 11, when he saw the champion take off.

DeChambeau, with some sticks whose rods have the measure of a 7 iron To ensure that all his swings are equal, he embroiders it on the final day. In other times, taking streets was something important, almost decisive. The player in the Hogan cap has made that factor negligible. It was enough for him to take 41 percent of the fairways to dominate the tournament and play under par on the final day. He was the only one who did, like Jack Fleck in 1955.
With short irons in their hands, Despite the thick rough, he didn’t have much trouble squeezing his biceps and getting the ball onto the green, where it feels like a laboratory. Every nerve in Winged Foot’s fast, bare greens has been learned. Much safer than Wolff, who had started two strokes clear, Bryson only needed to meet pairs to, by inertia, pass his rival. The only exchange of blows was on 9. To the DeChambeau’s eagle, he answered with another. It was the swan song. From there I went into an auger. Only DeChambeau could beat the monster. Like when playing Fortnite with the console, there could only be one left.
A truly dominant Sunday at Winged Foot.

After eight victories with the victory at the USOpen, DeChambeau can no longer be considered a snob. He aroused humorous comments when, in his beginnings among professionals, he showed his concern for the science applied to golf in concepts that had not been taken into account such as knowing the density of the air, training in hypoxia to work better under pressure or using a compass during the sessions. rounds of training to detect even the smallest detail on the greens. His IQ is said to be gifted.
Golf crowned an obsessive worker, of which you can spend 10 hours on the golf course between training, competition and again readjusting what has failed. He is very heavy, very talkative, but very good. Jon Rahm (73 hits yesterday) and Rafa Cabrera (78) they will finish twenty-third, 16 strokes behind the winner.
