“Not thinking about the putt”: Bryson DeChambeau reveals how he stays grounded on the course at the Masters

In the second round of the Masters Tournament, Bryson DeChambeau carded a 68 and placed in second position after making five birdies and one bogey. During the post-round press conference, he revealed that his strategy for playing well is staying grounded and not thinking too much about the shot. He said:

“I think it's staying grounded. Like I think of myself as just being here in the present. I know it's so cliché to say, but patience is built on understanding where you're at,” (Via ASAP Sports)

“And I feel like I'm doing a really good job of just staying in the moment, not thinking about the next hole, not thinking about the putt, not thinking about anything else,” DeChambeau added.

The two-time major championship winner further said that although it would be amazing to win the Masters this year, he would be okay with whatever happens at the end of the event.
