No one has had more success at major championships this year than Bryson Dechambeau. Though with all the success at the year's hardest events, he has struggled to find the same discipline and mentality on the LIV circuit. He hasn't secured a victory for Crushers GC since the fall of last year and only has one top-five finish in his previous five starts in the Saudi league. Dechambeau has also not favored well across the pond as he only has one finish inside the top 30 in six attempts (T8 in 2022). His success this season has been largely due to good performances on and around the green, gaining over eight shots with the putter and around seven shots around the green between his narrow miss at the PGA Championship and win at the U.S. Open. It's important to note that green speeds will be drastically different this week than they were at Valhalla and Pinehurst, and he's historically struggled in these areas at this championship because of it. So with all the hype he will inevitably have, it may be smarter to look elsewhere.

Of the five major events hosted on American soil between this season and last, Bryson DeChambeau has placed 20th or better in four of them, and three of those finishes have been sixth or higher. Although he hasn't won a major since the 2020 US Open, the 30-year-old has started to become a force to be reckoned with at tougher courses. A dried out Pinehurst No. 2 should definitely play difficult, especially around the greens, where DeChambeau has really improved his game, as displayed in his recent runner-up masterpiece at Valhalla. If the California native can be disciplined on his chip shots once again, excel with his strong putting ability, and take advantage of the limited rough around Pinehurst, he could once again find himself fighting for some major hardware come Sunday afternoon in North Carolina.

Things have certainly settled down for Bryson Dechambeau after hanging around all four days at Augusta National. With only two LIV events since, resulting in mediocre finishes in both, the former SMU golfer rolls into Louisville looking to iron things out before teeing it up on Thursday. Valhalla's layout could maximize his driving efficiency with many down-sloped landing areas of the tee and a few corners to cut for longer hitters. It's also encouraging to see him ranked 9th on the LIV Golf League in Scrambling (67.33%). However, his wedge game on more full shots raises the biggest red flags, and his lack of converting opportunities down the stretch is a concern. But where he is located on the board at $10,500 on FanDuel presents a real ownership advantage over other guys around him.

Bryson DeChambeau has been heating up on the LIV Tour of late, finishing T9 or better in each of his last four events. The numbers suggest he's playing some of his most consistent golf in years, but is that enough to overcome his recent Augusta woes? The 30-year-old has missed the cut at The Masters in each of his last two appearances, but analytically speaking, DeChambeau should be one of the best players in the world when it comes to making adjustments year-to-year while revisiting the same course. At $8,200 on DraftKings, and coming in with good form, there is plenty of upside to be had with the California native. But the risk of a missed cut cannot be overlooked either.
