Bryson DeChambeau is unquestionably one of the best golfers on the planet right now, and he has been for quite some time.
DeChambeau has just won back-to-back events on LIV Golf and he’s one of the favorites to win The Masters next month.
It’s fair to say that Bryson DeChambeau will be confident heading into The Masters this year, after his fine recent form.
The two-time US Open winner is an exceptional driver of the ball.
He’s incredibly long and straight off the tee, and those are vital qualities to have at Augusta National.
The LIV Golf star’s short game is highly underrated as well, and he is more than capable of scrambling his way around a golf course.
However, there is one issue DeChambeau has with his game that he is still yet to address, and it could prove costly for him at Augusta next month.
Bryson DeChambeau’s issue will stop him winning The Masters this year
While Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy may be the two favorites to win The Masters this year, DeChambeau is actually the most in-form player in the world right now.
However, the two-time major winner does have one big issue that could cause him all sorts of problems at Augusta National this year.
DeChambeau has been working on flighting down his irons and imparting less spin onto his golf ball.
However, he still cannot seem to get out of the habit of hitting his irons at full power when things get tight down the stretch.
We saw this last year when Rory McIlroy won his first Masters title and DeChambeau fell away during the final round.
As things stand, his iron play is simply not conducive to winning The Masters at Augusta National.
The greens are far too severe and undulating, and any ball entering them with too much spin will more often than not move away from the pin rather than get closer to it.
Will DeChambeau be able to rein back the speed?
It will be fascinating to see whether DeChambeau does manage to control his spin and dial in his speed at Augusta National next month.
The thing is, it will be incredibly difficult for him to dial down his speed with his irons, but ramp it up for his driver swing.
The 32-year-old American will undoubtedly get there one day.
But right now, Bryson DeChambeau doesn’t have the full skill set required to win The Masters at Augusta National, in my opinion.
The only way he will have a chance of winning is if he is able to hit a knock-down seven-iron from 190 yards out, rather than a full-send nine-iron.
If he has been working on that shot behind the scenes and he is able to pull it off under the most intense pressure, then who knows, DeChambeau may well prove me wrong.
