Masters 2020: Bryson DeChambeau scores, Paige Spiranac Instagram

DeChambeau, who many feared would overwhelm Augusta National with his power driving game, barely avoided a humiliating early exit after a two-over-74 win, putting the record-low Masters cut from par 144 to the number fell.

The 27-year-old, who spoke about experimenting with a 48-inch rider before the tournament – the longest allowed club length in Augusta – started well enough with a first round under two par 70s.

But the wheels fell off on Saturday, including a weird moment on the third when he couldn’t find his ball.

Spiranac, who has barbs at the golf beefcake in the past, couldn’t resist taking a shot.

“It’s fun and games, hitting it really far until you hit it really far,” she tweeted before branding DeChambeau as “deshambles”.

But she got even cheekier on her next try: “This week the guys from Bryson learned. It’s not how long your shaft is, but how you use it. “

Spiranac, a former pro golfer, began her war on the Californian after he blew up an officer earlier this year.

“I used to be a huge Bryson fan. I was all with Bryson … I thought he was doing things that were different and innovative and he was who he is and I respect that, ”Spiranac said on an episode of her podcast Playing around.

“But it’s been really hard to be a Bryson fan the past few weeks. He has exceeded this limit, from different than ad ** k.

“The way he adhered to this rules official was so inappropriate and I think it just shows where his headspace is now, where he thinks he’s literally pioneering the way golf is played gets, and he’s so far and beyond Anything else he can tell a rules officer whose job it is to know the rules inside out … “I don’t believe you, I need a second decision.”

“Who do you think you are? Seriously, who do you think you are?

“You know the rules for OB (out of bounds). We have played it from junior golf to college golf to pro golf. It never changed. “

But she gave him her hat when he scored his first big win at this year’s US Open.

“It’s sometimes fun to give Bryson’s ** t, but you have to give him enough credit to hold on to his guns despite the hatred, and now he can call himself the US Open Champion. Well deserved victory, ”she tweeted.

It would take a miracle to repeat the effort in Augusta where he just didn’t look right.

Sixth-placed DeChambeau said he had a COVID-19 test after getting dizzy on the course on Friday.

“I don’t know what was going on, a little weird. So I got checked for Covid last night and I was fine, nothing, ”DeChambeau said.

“I don’t know what it is or what happened, but the last few days I’ve felt really weird, just not 100 percent. Some of that contributed to this. I just feel boring and numb out there, just am not fully aware of myself and making some stupid mistakes. “

DeChambeau is nine shots back from a top group of five players including Australians Cameron Smith, Dustin Johnson, Justin Thomas, Jon Rahm and Abraham Ancer.

Tiger Woods is on top four times as he tries to defend his title from last year.
