‘It’s a Little Frightening’: Bryson DeChambeau Gives an Update on His Injury

Bryson DeChambeau took part in the 2022 Memorial Tournament, which became his first PGA tournament since The Masters in April 2022. In a recent interview, he talked about the difficulties he faced in his first tournament after his recent hand surgery.

The World No. 22 disclosed before the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play Championship in late March, that he had suffered a fractured hamate bone and a torn labrum in his left hip. This eventually became the reason for his withdrawal from the PGA Championship.

DeChambeau participated in the Memorial Tournament at the Muirfield Village Golf Club. However, his much-anticipated return didn’t go as planned, as he failed to make the cut after the second round.

DeChambeau comments on his injury

The 28-year-old was asked several questions regarding his injury and return at the Muirfield Village, after getting knocked out in the second round.

DeChambeau was asked whether he had any concern with the quick turnaround of his hand. He replied, “No. I don’t think so. Considering what happened today, I mean, it may get worse over the next day or two, even if I make the cut, and Saturday and Sunday.”

“But it’s a great test run to keep going, because really my eyes are set on the U.S. Open. That’s where I want to be full horse, all horses moving in the right direction. I’m just not there yet with everything.”

Bryson DeChambeau was then asked about what was holding him back now that his hand was okay. He responded by saying, “Well, the bone’s not healed. It takes four months for the bone to heal. I feel pressure in it every once in a while when it jars into the ground, I can feel it. I can do that to it and it doesn’t hurt. But there’s times when the end of the club just bats into it right where I broke it, or compression fractured it.”

“It’s a little frightening. Once the muscles around it continue to get stronger, it will stabilize it even better. And once the bone fully heals, two more months, it will continue to get better.”

He further added by saying, “But I can’t really refracture it. It’s a smooth surface now and the bone is stable. As soon as those muscles are strong, working out every day, that’s all I can do.”

What’s next for Bryson DeChambeau?

DeChambeau is still struggling to get back to his top form. Nevertheless, he has made it quite clear to compete in the US Open on June 16.

The 2020 US Open Champion looks to get back to his winning ways. He is looking forward to competing in the 2022 US Open, which will be held at The Country Club in Massachusetts for the first time since 1988.

Will DeChambeau make it to the Top 10 or will he fail to make the cut in the US Open? What do you think?
