Sky Sports Golf pundit Gary Christian believes newly turned professional Bryson DeChambeau is the real deal and has the chance to do something special.
Christian told Sky Sports: “Bryson DeChambeau finished tied for fourth in his first tournament as a professional having been the leading amateur at the Masters, and I believe this kid is the real deal. He plays with a huge amount of confidence, and he has the chance to do something really special.
“His impact on the game could be significant as well. We’ve not seen many like him before in terms of his scientific approach to golf, and it has certainly attracted a lot of attention. Having all of your irons the same length is something new in the professional game, and it might not be long before we see others exploring that set-up.
“Bryson is fascinating to listen to when he talks about the science and mechanics of his game and the way he conducts himself is refreshing. He has a huge belief in his methods and his ability, and he clearly feels it’s only a matter of time before he is one of the leading players on the PGA Tour.
“He pocketed $260,000 for finishing fourth, and retaining his card for next season is a mere formality. I truly think he can win this year and lock up his playing rights in one go! He has the full array of tools, and he appears to be more mentally prepared for success than most rookies.”
