‘That Dude’s Weird, Why Is He Doing That?’: A Disappointed Bryson DeChambeau Once Made an Appeal Amid Massive Scrutiny

Bryson DeChambeau has a unique approach to golf, and this has been a source of criticism for him along the way, but after securing a second PGA Tour win at the Memorial Tournament, it’s clear that his different approach clearly works.

In his post-tournament press conference at the Memorial Tournament in 2018, DeChambeau said that the criticism he received disappointed him. Let’s dig deeper and understand what happened.

Bryson DeChambeau got dissapointed

After winning the John Deere Classic in 2017 with his maiden PGA Tour win, Bryson DeChambeau described it as a vindication of his technique. His technique involves using irons that are all the same length. During an interview, he was asked if he felt that way after beating Byeong Hun An and Kyle Stanley in a playoff at Muirfield Village. Bryson replied and called the win validation. He said people always judge him and say he’s too technical.

This disappointed Bryson because he believed one shouldn’t judge anyone by looking at them. He said that people should think about the results of the actions and not just the cover. DeChambeau considers people by their work ethic and their dedication and perseverance that the person has.

He said, “So whenever you look at somebody and say, oh, man, that dude’s weird, why is he doing that? He’s got these dumb one-length clubs that don’t work. Yeah, they do. I won last year and they work pretty well for me.”

Another instance of disappointment

Bryson DeChambeau, an 8-time winner of the PGA Tour, last month uploaded a 28-minute video onto YouTube in which he discussed his career in-depth. In the video, he mentioned how he wants to ignore his doctor’s advice and play at the Augusta National.

Although he is determined to play, he doesn’t want to be on the court at only 80% of his fitness, expecting to give his best. By doing this, he would put himself at a disadvantage. In the video, he talked about how he was disappointed by his form and was letting everyone down. He said he could only be transparent about his health, and he sometimes gets embarrassed.
