Tiger Woods, Bryon DeChambeau attract attention for different reasons. MORE:
One of them because he’s Woods.DeChambeau has everyone talking, whether it's his super-sized physique, how hard he swings the driver, how far he is hitting the golf ball or his beliefs — which can sound like boasts — that he's changing the way the game is played.“Bryson's golf swing is not a fluid golf swing,” Jack Nicklaus said."Bryson's golf swing is pretty much pretty firm going back and firm coming through with a lot of body rotation.
Wednesday wasn't the first time they have practiced together. Woods is intrigued by a different way of playing, which is why a generation ago he used to practice early with Bubba Watson to see not just his length but the shape in his shots. DeChambeau brings an element of physics to his approach, such as air density and ground force.
Dustin Johnson, who won the last time he played at the Travelers Championship, has ample power. Asked what would happen if he swung as hard as DeChambeau, he replied: “I'd probably hurt something. And I would find half of them.”“I hit it far enough,” Johnson said. “And until I feel like I need to hit it further to compete or beat these guys, then that's what I'll do.
“Let's look at the fact that he’s hitting it as straight as he is,” Woods said. “That’s part of the most difficult thing to do. The further you hit it, the more the tangent goes more crooked. So the fact that he’s figured that out and has been able to rein in the foul balls to me has been equally as impressive as his gains off the tee.”
