DeChambeau 'moving in right direction' for PGA

BRYSON DeChambeau credits the confidence boost he took from last year’s 72nd-hole PGA Championship loss for helping him win last year’s US Open and making him a better major threat.

The 31-year-old American is among the favourites at this week’s 107th PGA Championship, which starts today at Quail Hollow, arriving off a LIV Golf victory two weeks ago in South Korea.

"I'm feeling good,” DeChambeau said. “This is exciting times. I’m playing some good golf. Hopefully that continues this week.

"Figured a couple (of) things out with my golf swing. Putting really well.”

DeChambeau faltered in last year’s final round at the Masters and shared sixth, but found his form at the PGA at Valhalla, battling to the end before losing to Xander Schauffele’s birdie on the 72nd hole.

A month later, the 2020 US Open winner added the 2024 US Open crown with his own 72nd-hole heroics, getting up-and-down from a bunker from 55 yards to edge Rory Mcllroy by one stroke.
