“Bryson DeChambeau’s Incredible Slimming Journey and PGA Championship Lead”

ROCHESTER | The least we can say when we take a look at Bryson DeChambeau is that he has changed his silhouette again.

The one who had become Mr. Muscles engulfed a phenomenal amount of food and protein mixtures in his monstrous transformation during the pandemic.

He hit faster, harder and reached phenomenal distances. He was bloated and muscular. His physical transformation has been well documented from 2020 to 2022.

But then he suffered from inflammation.

Since the end of last summer, it has dropped from 5000 to around 2900 calories per day.

“By passing tests, I knew that I am allergic to corn, wheat, gluten and dairy products,” he said yesterday after taking control of the PGA of America Championship. In fact, I’m allergic to almost everything I like.” “By removing them from my diet, I lost all inflammation and a lot of fat, continued the one who says eating healthier. I slimmed down and lost 18 pounds in 24 days.”

After this new transformation, the 29-year-old golfer also relearned his art due to a wrist injury that bothered him for a while.

In shape

The 2020 U.S. Open champion at Winged Foot, a similar course at Oak Hill, feels back to form and hopes to maintain some stability. Despite his weight loss, he still hits with just as much power. If not, more!

He is also more smiling and no longer avoids the spotlight as he did just 12 months ago.

He opened the PGA Championship of America with a round of 66 (-4), good for first place.

It has been a long time since he offered such an encouraging performance among the elite of world golf. In his last 10 starts at international events, the 29-year-old American has missed the ax on six occasions, including the last two editions of the Masters Tournament. Last July, he still took 8th place in the British Open on the fairways of St Andrews, Scotland.

His first season on LIV Golf did not go as desired. The headliner has accumulated two top 10 finishes in the six events he took part in last summer. This season, there is only one, that of last weekend.

Missing the PGA Championship of America last year at Southern Hills in Tulsa, Oklahoma, DeChambeau is making his sixth Grand Slam appearance this week. He booked his best performance in the 2020 edition with a fourth place finish at TPC Harding Park in San Francisco.

He has never led this championship in his five previous appearances.

“Oak Hill is very difficult. I was wondering how I could break par at some of these pennants. Fortunately, I managed to play solidly. I found a lot of fairways and I called good putts, explained the one who had won at Winged Foot on a similar course.

“This time the test is different. If you hit the tees well and know your irons, you can do well here. Otherwise, this course can get nasty very quickly if you don’t hit with precision.”
