Bryson James Aldrich DeChambeau (nato il 16 settembre 1993) è un giocatore professionista di golf militante nel PGA Tour. Nel 2015 è diventato il quinto giocatore nella storia a vincere nello stesso anno sia il campionato di Prima Divisione NCAA sia l'U.S. Amateur[1]
Carriera come dilettante
[modifica | modifica wikitesto]Nato a Modesto in California, figlio di John Howard Aldrich DeChambeau e Janet Louise Druffel, DeChambeau si è trasferito a Clovis, ad est di Fresno, all'età di sette anni. Iscritto alla Clovis East High School, nel 2010 ha vinto il California State Junior Championship all'età di 16 anni. DeChambeau graduated in 2012 and accepted a scholarship to Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, majoring in physics.
In June 2015, he became the first SMU Mustang to win the NCAA individual championship, recording a score of 280 (−8) to win by one stroke.[2] In August, he won the U.S. Amateur title, defeating Derek Bard 7 & 6 in the 36-hole final. He became the fifth player to win both the NCAA and U.S. Amateur titles in the same year, joining Jack Nicklaus (1961), Phil Mickelson (1990), Tiger Woods (1996), and Ryan Moore (2004).[1]
DeChambeau made his PGA Tour debut as an amateur in June 2015 at the FedEx St. Jude Classic near Memphis, Tennessee, and finished in 45th place. He played in his first major championship at the U.S. Open at Chambers Bay, but missed the cut by four strokes.[3] DeChambeau was unable to defend his NCAA title in 2016 after the SMU athletic department was handed a postseason ban by the NCAA.[4] He decided to forgo his senior season to play in a number of events before turning professional.[5] At the 2015 Australian Masters in November, DeChambeau was runner-up with John Senden and Andrew Evans, two shots behind the winner Peter Senior.[6] He was the low amateur at the Masters in 2016 and tied for 21st place.[7]
Professional career
[modifica | modifica wikitesto]Immediately after the Masters in mid-April 2016, DeChambeau turned professional and signed a long-term agreement with Cobra-Puma Golf.[8] He made his pro debut days later at the RBC Heritage in South Carolina and tied for fourth, earning over $259,000.[9][10] The decision to turn professional meant the forfeiture of his exemptions to the U.S. Open at Oakmont and Open Championship at Royal Troon; he qualified his way into the U.S. Open, tied for fifteenth place for over $152,000,[11] and improved his world ranking to 148.
Despite the strong start, DeChambeau did not initially earn enough to qualify for a PGA Tour card, but had enough to earn entry into the Web.com Tour Finals. His first professional win was the DAP Championship which also earned him a PGA Tour Card for the 2017 PGA Tour.[12][13]
On July 16, 2017, DeChambeau earned his first PGA Tour victory by winning the John Deere Classic by a single stroke over Patrick Rodgers. He carded a round of 65 in the final round to win his maiden title in his 40th start on tour. The win coming the week before, gained DeChambeau a place in the 2017 Open Championship, where he missed the cut after rounds of 76–77 (+13).
In 2017, Dechambeau gifted U.S. President Donald J. Trump golf clubs valued at $750.[14]
On June 3, 2018, DeChambeau won the Memorial Tournament in Dublin, Ohio, in a sudden-death playoff against Kyle Stanley and An Byeong-hun, after the three finished regulation play tied at −15. After Stanley bogeyed the first hole of sudden death, DeChambeau then proceeded to win with a birdie on the second hole, giving him his second win on the tour.[15]
On August 26, 2018, he won The Northern Trust for his first playoff victory; in the process, he established a new record for the tournament when held at the Ridgewood Country Club, with a score of 266, besting the old Ridgewood record of 270, which was set in 2014 by Hunter Mahan.[16] The following week, he won at the Dell Technologies Championship played at TPC Boston in Norton, Massachusetts, with a final score of −16, two shots clear of Justin Rose. This put him over 2000 points ahead of the second place player, Dustin Johnson, in the FedEx Cup rankings. This margin secured him top seeding at The Tour Championship, regardless of his finish at the BMW Championship. This also marked his fourth win on tour, third for the year, and second during the playoffs.[17] At the Tour Championship, DeChambeau finished 19th out of 30 participants. As a result, he fell to 3rd in the FedEx Cup, winning $2,000,000.[18]
In September 2018, DeChambeau was named as a captain's pick by Jim Furyk for the United States team participating in the 2018 Ryder Cup. Europe defeated the U.S. team by 17½ points to 10½. DeChambeau went 0–3–0. He lost his singles match against Alex Norén.[19]
On November 4, 2018, DeChambeau won the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open in Las Vegas, Nevada. The win was worth $1,260,000.[20] The win brought him to number 5 in the Official World Golf Ranking.
On January 27, 2019, DeChambeau won the Omega Dubai Desert Classic in Dubai, UAE. DeChambeau claimed his maiden European Tour title by producing a closing 64 to win the tournament by seven shots.[21]
Unique clubs
[modifica | modifica wikitesto]Tutti i ferri e i wedges di DeChambeu[22] sono tutti della stessa identica lunghezza: 37,5 pollici (95,3 cm). Il loro lie ed il loro angolo di bounce sono anch'essi tutti identici e solo il loro loft è diverso. In addition to the single-length concept, his clubs are unusual for their extremely upright lie angle. [23] DeChambeau keeps the club on the same plane throughout his swing and does not turn his wrists during his swing.[24] In 2011, at the suggestion of his instructor Mike Schy, DeChambeau switched to JumboMax Grips, the largest grips commercially available. The larger grips allow DeChambeau to hold the grips in his palms and not his fingers.
