DeChambeau criticized the sponsor’s stick

Event organized by Royal & Ancient on Royal St. George’s par70 in Sandwich, UK with a bonus fund of 11.5 million USD. On the opening day of July 15, DeChambeau hit only four of the 14 fairways, most of which had to work hard on the second shot to get out of the rough with knee-high buffalo tail grass.

“The driver is so bad. The clubface doesn’t match, even though Cobra and I work like crazy. Tried a lot but haven’t come up with a type that matches my specialty and can support sweet misses. Me myself I’ve been trying for a long time but haven’t had good results,” DeChambeau said when he finished the first round. With four birdies and five bogeys this stage, the American player born in 1993 stood at T74 with a +1 score, seven strokes from the top of the table.

Cobra qua Golfweek Respond quickly to private brand ambassadors.

“Bryson’s stupid comment really hurt us. Everyone worked hard, designing all kinds of models to serve him. Everyone wanted the driver to make the magic bullet. But it was extremely difficult. before asking for a faster swing and a lower swing, and now he’s swinging the driver with a 5 degree clubface, achieving a ball speed of 320 km/h and yet he’s never really been satisfied. You seem to be rarely satisfied,” said Ben Schomin, director of Cobra clubs for touring stars. Schomin revealed that Cobra has produced seven clubhead prototypes for DeChambeau to try out so far this year.

Two weeks ago, it was Schomin who worked as a field assistant when DeChambeau stopped working with his gut caddie Tim Tucker just before the opening round of Rocket Mortgage Classic on the PGA Tour. In this tournament, DeChambeau was eliminated.

However, Schomin softened his voice after the harsh initial reaction. “Bryson talks like an eight-year-old boy is mad at adults, hates and stops. If I met him now and said ‘what the hell did you just say’, I’m sure Bryson would say ‘it was just crazy then'” . We know he didn’t mean to be so harsh. Bryson understands how hard it is for everyone. Still, it’s a shame to say that,” Schomin said. He didn’t come to The Open this week.

DeChambeau herself also expressed goodwill after her “insane anger”. This golfer tweeted the same evening: “My personal opinion on the club after today’s round is not professional at all. Today, I broke so much that I lost control of my emotions. I am so bad, not because of the driver and the driver. really repent. Cobra has been with me for more than five years. They are like family, especially Ben Schomin who has always watched me every step of the way since turning pro.”

DeChambeau signed a long-term contract with Cobra in mid-2016. Over the past four years, DeChambeau has won eight PGA Tour championships, including the 2020 US Open major. He is currently sixth in the world (OWGR table), first on the PGA Tour this season. on teeing distance, averaging 321.9 yards.
