So ... Bryson Dechambeau

[Capella]

I admit I have a bit of a thing for him and I loved watching him holding his own during the Masters.

He is turning pro this week. What do you think? Will we see him doing well in big events in the near future? Maybe even in the winners' circle?

Think he will do well.

He is as smug as anyone I've ever seen.

Loads of people will end up hating him.

Something different and cool swing. Welcome to pro ranks. Best of luck. A welcome addition.

Really enjoyed watching him as I like something a little different. The game changer for me was when the group was being timed on friday he walked up to his ball, looked at the book, pulled his club and stiffed it on 11, rolled the jab in and fist pumped like he had won the thing and I loved it.

Been following him for a number of years and have never spotted the above. He comes across well to me.

Looks a character and held up well over the four days. Who knows if he will make it big but I bet he will have plenty of sponsors knocking on his door, invites on the door mat. He is certainly going to be one to watch.

Something different in a cookie cut world is fine with me. Just another example of it doesn't have to look text book to be effective.

 

[Beezerk]

Is it just me who thinks his swing is absolutely horrific?
He needs to ditch that flat cap pronto as well.

 

[Oddsocks]

The hat jars me!

 

[WillC]

The hat jars me!

I love the hat!

He's very marketable, and the reason he gets invited to all these PGA events is through sponsors already! He's going places.

Just back from caddying in the County Champs at windswept Prestwick.

As I picked up the bag I thought it must be a bit more difficult being Dechambeau's caddy with all his irons the same length.

 

[mcbroon]

Not a fan of his swing but I like him. Seems like a decent guy.

It'll be interesting to see how things turn out when he's playing for cash (though I suspect he doesn't go short of a bob or two with a name like that).

Initial impression is that he is a bit too full of himself for my liking, but early days and all that.

There was a wonderful moment when Willett came off the 18th, shook hands with Rose and totally blanked BDC who was hanging around trying to be mates....

He was playing with a set of Cobra irons last week (possibly this week too?) and wearing a lot of Puma too. Perfect fit sponser wise, imagine him & Rickie striding up the final hole on a Sunday...

 

[Norrin Radd]

dont think big three ,start thinking big four ,he will be that good.

 

[freddielong]

Just another cocky American with a stupid hat.

He uses Cobra Driver, 3Wood, & hybrid but everything else in his bag is made by Edel. He has had the same irons for years and I cant see him changing as they are so remarkably customised.

Sorry to dump on this, but I think the lure of the filthy lucre meant that he had already thrown out the Edel...

It's only internet gossip, so could be wrong. I suspect not though.

 

[pokerjoke]

Watching the BBC and Paul Azinger who I believe knows a bit about golf basically said he was amazing and he would be the best in the world.if he wasn't already.

Yes I thought it was an amazing statement since he has not achieved anything in the pro ranks but he must really think highly of him.

Smug? hardly imo in the interview he came across as quite nervous,another one for the like brigade.

 

[SyR]

I seem to remember hearing in the coverage that all his irons have the same length shafts? How can that even work?

 

[Junior]

I like flat caps .

I think think he will do well and if his amateur career is anything to go by , he will win.....a lot. I think he did pretty well recently in the Middle East on the European tour too. He does things his own way which I like.
