Bryson DeChambeau stand im Mittelpunkt diverser Kontroverse in den vergangenen Jahren. Slow Play ist nur ein Beispiel und die Transformation, die er durchgemacht hat steht ebenfalls kontinuierlich im Zentrum zahlreicher Diskussionen. Für einen Moment zumindest beweist DeChambeau bei der US Open 2020, dass sein Weg, so ungewöhnlich er auch sein mag, ein Weg ist, der funktioniert. Seine Kollegen erkennen das an.
So reagierten die Sozialen Medien auf Bryson DeChambeaus US Open Sieg
Ian Poulter bringt es auf den Punkt. Man kann ihn mögen oder nicht, aber die Leistung, die DeChambeau in Winged Foot abgeliefert hat, verdient Respekt.
Say what you want about @b_dechambeau he might not be everyone’s cup of tea. His isn’t my cup of tea but what he is is a Major champion and I have huge respect for winning the @usopengolf. Changed his swing and body to try and over power golf courses. Done it his way. ????

Auch Francesco Molinari erkennt die harte Arbeit an:
Congrats @b_dechambeau, amazing score on what looked like a very tough course. Testament to your hard work and the one of the team around you

Subjektive Meinung bestimmt nicht, wer am Ende gewinnt, darauf weist Luke Donald hin:
Only player under par today, playing in the final group! Remember what the goal is everyone - golf is a game with a score and the lowest score wins - it’s not subjective - get the ball in the hole in less strokes than your competitors. Congrats @b_dechambeau ?

Zu Jack Nicklaus hat Bryson DeChambeau eine ganz besondere Verbindung und Nicklaus erkannte früh das Potential in dem ungewöhnlichen Golfer.
For 143 golfers, Winged Foot played as expected. But @b_dechambeau played different one. He’s always approached game differently but always w/ a plan. It worked wonderfully! Overpowered course but never let moment overwhelm him. Showed patience, poise. Congrats to fine young man!

Brutal yet fun week at Winged Foot. Hats off to @b_dechambeau for the “W”, his first major, and winning the 40 and under division. I’ll take my medalist in the 40 and older. Finding the positives. ?

Golf-Reporterin Amanda Balionis zieht die Lehre: "Dinge anders zu machen ist nichts schlechtes."
Bryson has said it from Day 1 & continuously proves it: doing things differently is not a bad thing. People who judge you for doing it differently- and they will judge you LOUDLY-are saying more about themselves and nothing about you. Congrats @b_dechambeau, you’re a Major Champ!

It’s fun to give Bryson shit at times but you have to give him so much credit for sticking to his guns despite all the hate and now he gets to call himself a US Open Champion. Well deserved win.
