Team USA had an emphatic victory in the 2020 Ryder Cup at Whistling Straits. They humiliated Team Europe with a score of 19-9 to recapture the prestigious trophy. However, just after this victory, Bryson DeChambeau traveled to Nevada to participate in the Professional Long Drivers Championship.
Meanwhile, Bryson had already started his preparation for this event. He was generating some insane clubhead speed, which is the primary requirement to gain distance. Furthermore, Collin Morikawa, one of Bryson’s teammates from the Team USA, recently gave an interview where he revealed a few things about the 2020 U.S. Open Champion.

Collin Morikawa explains the work ethic of Bryson DeChambeau
Collin Morikawa had given an interview to Golf Digest where he was asked about Bryson DeChambeau and his work ethic. “The guy was grinding on the range after Saturday’s match! I had no intention of doing that,” said Morikawa.
“To see why he’s loved by so many people, it’s because of his work ethic. The amount of work he puts in to be at a long drive contest right now it requires a crazy amount of work. Props to him. He is changing the game.”
Moreover, after crushing the Team Europe at Whistling Straits, all golfers were relaxing and recovering. But Bryson was competing at the Professional Long Drivers Championship. And this shows his dedication and love for this game.

Bryson sadly didn’t win the event, but he performed significantly better than what people had expected. The 28-year-old managed to get into the last day through a round-robin of 16 players. But sadly, he couldn’t break into the top 8 and was eliminated in the semis.

However, his longest drive came on the first day when he smashed the ball off the tee to 406-yards. But even this couldn’t get him a top spot in the group that day as Martin Borgmeier bombed a 416-yard drive.
