The eight-time PGA Tour victor went on to add how much that had helped him. Bryson’s father never let him quit at “anything.” There were times when the going got tough, and DeChambeau wanted to quit too. At those times, his father would talk him out of it. “Whenever tough times came about and I wanted to quit, he would always sit down with me and say, ‘Bryson, you got to push through this; you can’t stop.’”
“You never want to stop, that will never get you anywhere in life,” were the words his father used that molded his life. The golf star has since made it his mission to live by those words. Bryson DeChambeau always saw things through and refused to give up. He said, “I always went to the farthest deepest lengths of anything.”
