https://www.espn.com/golf/story/_/i...echambeau-blames-first-round-open-woes-driver DeChambeau was asked if he actually felt good about his 1-over-par 71 after hitting just four of 14 fairways at Royal St. George's. "That's what I said a couple of days ago; if I can hit it down the middle of the fairway, that's great, but with the driver right now, the driver sucks." That comment from the eight-time PGA Tour winner drew the ire of Ben Schomin, a tour operations manager for Cobra Golf who caddied for DeChambeau at the Rocket Mortgage Classic two weeks ago. "It's just really, really painful when he says something that stupid," Schomin told Golfweek after he was informed Thursday about DeChambeau's comments. "He has never really been happy, ever. Like, it's very rare when he's happy." Added Schomin, who is not at The Open: "I know that if I got him cornered right now and said, 'What the hell did you say that for?' he would say that he was mad. He really didn't mean to say it that harshly. He knows how much everyone bends over backwards for him, but it's still not cool."
The notion that he's "ripped"? I haven't looked at pictures of him since he was all the buzz last year but is he actually "ripped" or rather just bulked up and "swole"?
Now it makes sense why they keep calling him that on Sportscenter. I thought they were joking but I guess they were serious since you just informed me it was a legal name change. Well that's great for him that he can be out in the open. Excellent.
