Bryson DeChambeau Looks to Repeat at the John Deere Classic
6 years agoThis week at the John Deere Classic, Bryson DeChambeau will return to the venue where he captured his first career PGA Tour title at last season. The 24-year-old American entered Sunday's round four shots off of the lead but was able to reel in the leaders after shooting an explosive six-under 65, narrowly edging the Saturday night leader Patrick Rodgers by one stroke. DeChambeau enters the tournament this season as one of the most in-form players in the world. In his last nine events, DeChambeau has recorded five top-nine finishes, which includes a victory at the Memorial Tournament. He does, however, come into the week with a bit of skepticism following him. The USGA just announced that DeChambeau would no longer be able to use his drawing compass on the golf course. He used this to help determine where exact pin locations were and it was deemed that it was unfairly assisting him.
