"I want to win a major" - Bryson DeChambeau targets glory at The Open Championship

Bryson DeChambeau looks to be in stellar form. In the recently concluded LIV Golf Andalucia, he finished as runner-up. He fell a stroke from the individual winner, Talor Gooch. This event also happened to be his best finish in the Saudi-backed League.

After the final round last Sunday, DeChambeau spoke with the media about his future plans. He is set to feature in the fourth and last major of the season, The Open Championship 2023.

As quoted by the Mirror, he said:

"It shows I can compete with the best of them (at the Open Championship). My game is back, and I've just got to tighten things up for next week and the week after, which that's a major [The Open]. I want to win a major."

According to DeChambeau, his game is picking up pace like it was five years ago in 2018. That year, he won four tournaments playing on the PGA Tour. He added that it took him quite some time to be back to that kind of form.

DeChambeau said:

"The speed definitely is a huge positive. I learned a lot. I just wish I would have figured out what I did in 2018 faster because I feel like I could have played better golf the past five years."

He added that he had been playing good golf and is in the right direction.

He concluded by saying:

"I played great golf. Moving in the right direction, and I've got a lot of golf years left, a lot of major championships, a lot of LIV events. It's only hopefully up and up."

In recent times, Bryson DeChambeau has come up as one of the biggest and fastest hitters of a golf ball. Once he gets going, there is nothing that can stop him.

Hopefully, he will show his abilities in the upcoming major, The Open Championship, at Prestwick Golf Club from July 16 onwards.
