Troubled by the Ticking Clock, Tiger Woods and Bryson DeChambeau Once Came Together to Point Out Its Effect on Their Game

When thinking about the greatest golfers of all time, the first name that comes to mind is Tiger Woods. The 15-time major champion has made tons of records in his professional career with his unbelievable golf skills. But it is not just Woods who is scientific with his shots on the field. Bryson DeChambeau also tops the list of the best players in the world. However, despite their different styles of playing, both golfers once expressed their feelings about being put on the clock.

Tiger Woods and Bryson DeChambeau express their frustration

Woods has been an inspiration for DeChambeau during his early years playing golf. The golf “hulk” once felt lucky to play in a practice round with Tiger Woods. However, DeChambeau has now played several matches with the golfer and once expressed frustration for a similar reason to Woods.

Woods and DeChambeau were in the post-game interview after their first round at the Memorial. Both the players along with Justin Rose were warned for their slow pace of play, and were even timed for “most of the back nine,”. Expressing how being timed made it difficult for them to play, Woods said “We’re trying to either tap out or take a while to mark the golf ball to help the other players…it’s a group effort to try to get back in position.”

On the other hand, DeChambeau has often been called out for his slow pace of play. The golfer usually takes a lot of time before attempting a shot. His fans call him a golf “scientist”. He said, “We’ve had struggles the past three holes in a row, hazards and making bogeys and all that…“It’s a bit unfair when you’ve got someone that’s behind you”. Woods ended his game with two under 70 for the round. DeChambeau shot two-over 74 in the final round.

Which tournament will Woods play next?

After he missed the cut at the Open, Woods told the reporters that he had “nothing planned” in his schedule. He also added that he might play “sometime next year”. However, Woods fans are hoping to see the golfer play his best shots at the Hero World Challenge coming up in December.

Although his name was not on the list of players participating in the tournament, there were still a few empty slots. And fans would love to watch the golfer play in the limited-field event in the Bahamas.
