What Bryson DeChambeau said before the 2026 Masters
Some key quotes from Bryson DeChambeau from his Wednesday session with the media in the Press Room:
Q. You have played yourself into contention in back-to-back Masters. How has your approach to Augusta National changed over the years, and what has clicked for you recently?
BRYSON DECHAMBEAU: It's a lot of learning. This place every year it seems like it changes just fractionally, just enough to keep ahead of us players that are trying to learn the golf course. So there's always something new that we're trying to figure out, whether it be a second shot -- excuse me, the 2nd hole, first shot, there's a tree on the left that's kind of moved over into our frame of view off the tee, and it's different. So it's really cool to see the golf course move and adapt and us have to attack the golf course in unique and different ways.
Q. I'm curious how you reflect on last year? Obviously it was your best finish, but it wasn't what you wanted out of that final pairing. Kind of how have you looked back on it, and particularly that Sunday as you kind of prepare for this year?
BRYSON DECHAMBEAU: It was a great learning lesson. Leading or being tied for the lead and having the lead, that last group final round, gave me a lot of perspective on it. Then losing it and having things not go my way as they finished out and Rory completed the grand slam. Like I said, last year he earned it, right? It was really cool to see in person. Secondarily, I think, as I reflect back on it, the one thing I can take from it is I can put myself in those positions. The more I put myself in those positions, the better opportunities I'm going to have to win. It's just been a gradual learning process. You never know what this week may bring, but I certainly hope to give it my all and put myself back in that position because I want to feel it again.
