Bryson DeChambeau has received immense love and popularity from fans since his victory at Pinehurst Golf Course No.2. He won the 2024 US Open, his second Major Championship trophy on a challenging course. Moreover, his gestures toward fans impressed everyone and made him a fan-favorite golfer.

He is also one of the most unorthodox golfers and has unique ways of practicing and thinking about the game. Most golfers practice hard and try to play regularly on the course to be in touch with their game while at home.

However, while talking to Golf.com journalist Dylan Dethier, Bryson DeChambeau revealed he often practices on a grass range but rarely hits the course.

"Very rare. I’ll go out and play three holes every once in a while to make sure that nothing has gone crazy awry," Bryson said.

Furthermore, he said his primary goal on the course and while practicing is to repeat his swing and shot more consistently.

"But I focus on being able to repeat motion more consistently. To see if I can do it again and again and again at the same shot shape. That’s literally all that matters to me," DeChambeau explained.

Bryson DeChambeau believes consistency and repeatable shots will give him low scores.

Bryson DeChambeau is nicknamed The Scientist, as his approach toward golf is quite scientific and he has a major in Physics. Since the start of his career, DeChambeau is well-known for his unorthodox way of practicing and designing equipment.

Unlike other top pro golfers, Bryson DeChambeau avoids playing on a golf course while he is at home. DeChambeau said most pro golfers, when at home, like to shoot low scores. However, he believes consistency and repeatable shots will give him low scores.

"I know it’s wild. I think they like trying to shoot the lowest score. But my thought process is like, the lowest score is going to come about by the most consistent and repeatable shots. And if I can hit a shot again and again and again more often than other players, I feel like I’m going to do better than other players," DeChambeau revealed.

This method seems to have worked well for the two-time Major Championship winner as he registered his second Major victory by winning the 2024 US Open. Apart from this win, DeChambeau has finished T6 at the Masters and claimed a runner-up finish in the 2024 PGA Championship.

His record in the Major Championships this year is second to none, with a top-10 finish in all three tournaments. Moreover, with only one final Major Championship, The Open Championship, remaining in the year, DeChambeau will hope to continue this momentum and try his best to win.
