Pace of play on the links is an inexact science, and Bryson DeChambeau didn’t mince words when discussing what he referred to as “out of control” pacing during The Open Championship this weekend.
Speaking after his third round, DeChambeau, whose front nine at Royal Portrush went far quicker than his back nine, proposed a “very simple” solution.
“You individually time everybody for their whole entire round,” DeChambeau said, according to GOLF.com. “It’s very simple. Nobody wants to do it because people are too scared to get exposed, which I’m an advocate for. I’d love to be timed, and I have no problem with that. My putting — I’m more deliberate and take more time on that, but when it comes to iron shots and off the tee, I’m pretty fast.”
Many of Thursday’s rounds loomed around or just went over the six-hour mark. Friday wasn’t much better. DeChambeau got behind the eight-ball on Thursday, shooting a 78 on Day 1, followed by a 65-stroke round on Day 2.
“I can tell you, [the] The first two rounds – it was out of control that I saw, “Decombo said, According to Sports Illustrated“The way people play this. Long story short, one day I hope we can have a better system.”
“It’s not difficult at all,” Dachbo said, which is tied to 34th position on Sunday.
“I think it will be more fair towards everyone,” said Decombo, Per Golf.com“You know that someone is playing slow, [official] They can go to them and say, ‘Hey man, you are equal to your time.’ All you do is that you just give them time for every shot – he reaches there, puts the bag down, and how long it takes them to hit that shot … to walk in green – it’s not rocket science. How long do you take time, and then you separate from the other person who separates it. You start the whole thing on them. ,
Scotty Chefler has a four-stroke lead over Hao-Tong Lee, which ranks first under 14 in the last day of the tournament.
