If he had never won any titles, his unusual style would surely be raising eyebrows and inviting plenty of questions but DeChambeau is used to being different and was never shy about expressing himself even when he was a child. In sixth grade, while presenting his first science project, a young Bryson explained an interesting theory about gravity that goes against Newton's commonly accepted law; that gravity pushes outwards as opposed to pulling inward. "It actually got pretty high up there in the science fair," said DeChambeau, as quoted by Today’s Golfer. "It was pretty well explained. I had a couple of interesting theories about it, and I described it very, very well." His innovative approach didn’t end with his formal education, he continues to apply the same outside-the-box thinking to the sport he’s taken seriously since the age of 8. His passion for golf really took off after he read a book titled The Golfing Machine by Homer Kelley at 15. The book inspired him to make a single-plane swing that's more technically called a “zero shifting motion” swing. In Chapter 10, section 7, Kelley termed the concept of “customized” swing planes. It was said, “…one basic plane angle is to be used throughout the stroke without ‘a variation’—that is, no shift.” Those 18 words encouraged young Bryson to experiment with his clubs, leading him finally to his solution: make every iron the same length with the same weight, the same shaft flex and the same lie angle (72°). Along with his long-time BARYSON DSTeChAMBEAU, WHRO EAR NEDI AS PHYSI CBORNS DEGREE FROM SOUTHERN coach, Mike Schy, 17-year-old DeChambeau METHOdisT UNIVersiTY, HAS BROUGHT his SCIENCE-INFlueNCED, modified a bunch of shaft flexes and clubs to build his first set of irons.

The PGA TOUR®, consistently lists Spyglass Hill’s holes 6, 8 and 16 among the toughest on the TOUR, and during the 1999 US Amateur, the stroke average of the field during medal play was in excess of 79. Spanish Bay® The Links at Spanish Bay was built on vast sandy wasteland ideally suited for creating a true coastal Scottish links-style course.

  • US Open Pre-Event Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE ROLEX CELEBRATES 40TH EDITION AS OFFICIAL TIMEKEEPER OF THE U.S. OPEN Geneva, Switzerland, Wednesday, 05 June 2019 – One of the greatest golfing venues in the world, Pebble Beach Golf Links will welcome 156 of the world’s best professional and amateur golfers for the 119th edition of the U.S. Open from 13–16 June. This will be the sixth time that Pebble Beach has hosted the event, one of the four annual golf Majors, highlighting the championship pedigree of this revered course which celebrates its centenary year in 2019. This year also marks the 40th edition of the tournament that Rolex will preside over as Official Timekeeper, a position it has held since 1980. For more than 50 years, the Swiss watch manufacturer has nurtured one of the most enduring relationships between a brand and sport. In 1967, Rolex partnered with Arnold Palmer, joined by friends and rivals Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player, affectionately known as The Big Three, who played a key role in modernizing this ancient sport. Since then, Rolex has become intimately linked with golf, extending its support to every level of the game, from its elite players, to men and women’s Major championships and the foremost professional tours around the globe. It is a partnership steeped in quality, reliability and a pioneering spirit, attributes that permeate everything Rolex does. KOEPKA AIMING FOR HISTORIC THIRD CONSECUTIVE WIN Not only is it an important year for the Swiss watch manufacturer and Pebble Beach, Rolex Testimonee Brooks Koepka will arrive at this dramatic stretch of California coastline with the opportunity to continue his sequence of historic victories.
