There is no subtelty to Bryson DeChambeau's game plan as he seeks to defend his U.S. Open crown.
With rare exceptions, the ferocious-swinging DeChambeau bashes his drives as far as he possibly can, knowing that as long as he stays in-bounds he should be okay.
"When I miss it, because I hit it pretty far, I'm going to miss it off line quite a bit," DeChambeau said after shooting a bogey-free three-under-par 68 to move within two shots of leaders Louis Oosthuizen, Russell Henley and Mackenzie Hughes. It was fairly quiet as he negotiated the far reaches of the course around the 11th and 12th holes, where crowds were thin, but by time he got to the 13th green there were plenty of spectators, invariably young men clutching a can of beer, only too happy to make their support or otherwise all too clear."Get in the water," yelled another as the player avoided the pond at the last.
