Bryson DeChambeau is one of the most popular golfers in America. But he hasn’t been able to win a tournament this season because of his injuries, making his fans depressed. However, according to the golfer, the gloomy days are over for him as he sees improvement in his game!

“That was by far the best golf I ever played,” DeChambeau said. He talked about how he considers 2018 as his best season yet after a round at the 150th Open. “I feel like I’m getting back to that position with this new speed, which is great,” he added.

“If I can conquer that and get back to where I can control the golf ball off the tee, just like I want to in those right-to-left winds,” he said. “I feel like I’ll have the opportunity to be close to No. 1.”

The Mad Scientist got his speed back!

In a video shared on Twitter, DeChambeau is seen hitting 345 yards at 195mph ball speed. 

The 28-year-old is known for being one of the longest hitters in the world of golf. However, he wasn’t able to hit any bombs recently because of his hip and wrist injuries. After having surgery and enough rest, the video proves that his speed and distance covered have increased.
