Bryson DeChambeau enters the Players Championship with more momentum than anyone. The reigning U.S. Open champ won at Bay Hill last week and is the second-favorite in DraftKings’ odds (behind only Dustin Johnson) to walk away with a victory at TPC Sawgrass.
All eyes will be on Bryson, and best thing that happens anytime DeChambeau is in contention is that we’re usually treated to some kind of entertaining moment that’s uniquely him (like we saw last week). But he’s proved to be entertaining off the course, too.
So, in the name of good old-fashioned fun at our recent cover shoot with Bryson, we showed our Playing Editor 10 different photos and asked what he was thinking during each of these moments.
1. “I swung it too much, and now I’m thinking, ‘What. Just. Happened?'”
2. “Oh, the lull of quarantine. Literally just thinking, ‘What am I going to do next?'”
3. “Just place the pins in the correct position so I don’t have to figure out exactly where they are.”
4. “I should’ve gotten relief. There was some stuff around there, but that’s ok. Life goes on.”
5. “I thought I had actually gotten big, but it was actually just a small shirt.”
6. “No thoughts, I just wanted to pull my hair out.”
7. “I gotta figure something out for tomorrow or I won’t play that well.”
8. “Not knowing what’s going on. Trying your absolute hardest, and you’re absolutely failing.”
9. “This is tiny Bryson. Miniature Bryson.”
