Golf fans eagerly anticipated the 29-year-old’s return. His comeback at the PGA Championship undoubtedly garnered a lot of attention and increased the buzz in the air.

The LIV golfer has recently made headlines because of his transformation after losing a substantial amount of weight. The fact that this news broke just before the second major of the year undoubtedly increased interest in the one-time major champion. However, as the opening round of the championship is over, DeChambeau creates headlines once more because of his honest revelation regarding golf.

Bryson DeChambeau gets candid about his journey

The hype around DeChambeau was surely very high. Furthermore, The Scientist surely stepped up to all the expectations and put in a great performance to finish second on the first day at Oak Hill. While there were already many eyes on him, his performance created more headlines. However, the LIV star grabbed more limelight as he shared his disappointment with the sport after the first round.

No longer the incredible bulk, DeChambeau used all his speed and strength to showcase his talent.

“I was disappointed,” said the scientist. “I don’t know if hate is the right word. It was more of just being frustrated and disappointed, like, I’ve achieved this; why can’t I just do it every day?” You know, that’s what we all think out here. But it’s definitely a game you can’t conquer.”

The most important aspect of the conversation was this enormous declaration of the one-time major winner’s actual feelings. DeChambeau’s remarks are unmistakably a reference to his injury days, when he was sidelined for a full season. Those difficult circumstances have undoubtedly had a deeper impact on the golf pro.

Bryson DeChambeau’s history at the PGA Championship

DeChambeau is renowned for his distinctive style of play, which includes the use of single-length irons and the application of scientific ideas to enhance his swing and technique. But that didn’t seem to have helped him too much at the past PGA Championships. The 29-year-old has a mixed record at the major, with a T33 finish in 2017 and missing the cut the following years in both 2018 and 2019.

Fortunately, the former major champion played far better at the 2020 PGA Championship, tying for fourth place. However, in 2021, his performance fell again, and he had to settle for the 38th spot on the leaderboard. In 2022, DeChambeau missed the competition because of his surgery to remove a cyst in one of his maxillary sinuses, and now he returns for redemption!

The Mad Scientist has used his out-of-the-box strategies to win a number of competitions, including the 2020 U.S. Open, yet the Wanamaker trophy has eluded him. But he will certainly be hoping this changes this year. And with his current performance, he is certainly likely to spark a lively debate among both fans and commentators!
