What I found interesting was that he missed every putt left until th last one. Now all of these guys have to be able to perform under pressure and DeChambeau has many times including the back nine Sunday. But it seems that the pressure was ramped up in the playoff and something happened with his stroke where he closed the club face slightly on those putts. By every other measure he outplayed Cantlay and should have won that playoff. The brain is a funny thing. It controls physical movements. In the case of putting it only has to have a very slight effect. Why some people are able to perform under pressure and others are not will probably never be known. Neither will whysome people, like Cantlay in this case, are able to perform better when pressure is ratcheted up.
I’m not a big DeChambeau fan. As someone said he always seems to think that he’s smarter than everyone else. But more than that he seems to blame everything other than himself for bad shots. His driver is bad, someone was walking, but it’s never “I made a bad swing “. His method has been somewhat successful but when it fails it fails big time. He either hits it great or he hits it off the planet. Then when he does hit a bad shot he seems to compound the error by trying to hit low percentage recovery shots.
For someone that’s supposed to be so intelligent he doesn’t seem to understand that there are circumstances where he needs to play conservatively. That’s how he ends up shooting 44 on the final nine of a tournament that he was in a position to win.
