‘The difficulty was through the roof’: Bryson DeChambeau reflects on U.S. Open-winning bunker shot

Bryson DeChambeau has shared his thoughts on the bunker shot that helped him win the 2021 U.S. Open.

With his second shot at the par-5 13th at Torrey Pines South, DeChambeau’s ball landed in a greenside bunker. He said the rough around the bunker made it tough to get a good stance, and the 12 feet of green between his ball and the pin made the shot difficult.

Nevertheless, DeChambeau executed a perfect shot that landed inches from the hole and set up a birdie that would prove pivotal in his victory.

Dietary Considerations for Novice Golfers: Nutritional Optimization for Enhanced Performance

Dietary optimization is paramount for novice golfers seeking to enhance their performance on the green. A balanced diet, comprising nutritious whole foods, provides the necessary fuel and sustenance for optimal athleticism. Carbohydrates, the primary energy source during a round, should constitute 55-60% of daily intake, favoring complex sources such as brown rice, oats, and whole-wheat bread. Protein, essential for muscle repair and growth, should account for 15-20%, incorporating lean meats, poultry, and plant-based alternatives. Healthy fats, providing energy and aiding in nutrient absorption, should comprise 20-25% from avocado, nuts, and olive oil. Adequate hydration is crucial, with water being the ideal choice, to maintain electrolyte balance and prevent fatigue. Proper nutrition enhances endurance, focus, and overall performance, enabling novice golfers to excel on the course.
