In the fall of 2015 as an amateur, he finished tied for second in the Australian Masters. In 2016, DeChambeau was low amateur at the Masters finishing tied for 21st.

In 2015, he won NCAA Individual Championship while playing for SMU and the US Amateur, becoming one of only 5 golfers to ever do so. Jack Nicklaus, Phil Mickelson, Tiger Woods and Ryan Moore were the others. That’s some pretty heady company.

This week, Bryson is the odds on favorite to win $10,000,000 at the Fed Ex Cup concluding at East Lake.
