‘Scientist’ Bryson DeChambeau Lives Up to His Name as He Reveals the Secret Behind Downhill Play

The game of golf has seen a lot of golfers exhibit their skills and techniques on the course in an unbelievable fashion. However, none have managed to incorporate the art of precision and science as much as Bryson DeChambeau, who is popularly known as the ‘Scientist’ for a reason.

And, the golfer has once again proved why he deserves the name. With the insane techniques that he has managed to display on the greens. The LIV Golf pro was spotted sharing some of his secrets to the viewers in a social media post that was shared not too long ago, bringing in the power of “geometry” no less!

Bryson DeChambeau imparts golf knowledge

The 30-year-old pro is known as the ‘Scientist’ owing to his approach to golf that has made science out of the sport. He has been famous for experimenting on the course leading himself to reinvent the best ways to succeed at the game using physics. However, this time around, the professional decided to impart some golf knowledge surrounding geometry.

A post was uploaded on the Instagram handle of the LIV golfer’s team, Crushers GC, in which he was having a small game of golf with Garrett Clark. The video showcases the duo talking about how “putting downhill” is easier when compared to making an “uphill putt” all the while expressing the need to be “super-precise” in the latter’s case.

Clark started off his theory by mentioning how the former is usually “down grain” leading to a “lesser chance of bouncing off line.” However, the Crushers’ skipper was quick to point out how it was but a “part of it,” all the while adding “geometry” to the mix. According to DeChambeau, in the case of an uphill putt, it always falls “away from the hole,” if you push or pull at it. Taking the example of a dead straight putt, the pro explained how it would “fall to the right… away from the hole,” if you “hit it on the right edge” as opposed to the downhill one which would “fall into the hole” since it would be wanting to go down into the straight putt.

DeChambeau has been very famous for using physics in his gameplay. And now, he has revealed the usefulness of Maths to the same. However, he is not the only person who has made use of numbers to help others become better at the game, garnering the praise of even the veteran Rory McIlroy.

Edoardo Molinari, the numbers ‘guru’

McIlroy, in an interview during the BMW PGA Championship, was all praise for Edoardo Molinari, the Italian professional golfer. The Northern Irishman mentioned how the latter had researched a lot into the numbers of the game, especially for the pairings for fourballs, foursomes, and course setup for the Ryder Cup which took place at Marco Simone.

The European Vice-Captain made use of stats to help players including the likes of McIlroy and Viktor Hovland to better their gameplay. The Norwegian golfer was also high in acclaim for the Italian as he recalled the advice he received from Molinari allowing him to see the issues related to his ball striking very clearly and thereby helping him clinch victory at the BMW Championship and the biennial event.

Well, a bit of science does go a long way as shown by DeChambeau and Molinari. With a lot of hard work and a bit of math and science, DeChambeau has achieved exceptional results on the greens. A true ‘Scientist’, one can say!
