“#Bryson DeChambeau may force drastic Masters change<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n Tiger Woods changed golf at the 1997 Masters. A former champion believes Bryson DeChambeau could alter it this week at Augusta, too.<\/p>\n

After watching DeChambeau smash his way to the U.S. Open title, Ian Woosnam wonders what golf might look like if the 27-year-old dominates the Masters field with another powerful performance.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am honestly worried what Bryson DeChambeau could do to the place,\u201d Woosnam, who won the 1991 Masters, told The Telegraph<\/a>. \u201cIt might be amazing to watch him hitting it these distances, but I don\u2019t think it is good for the game<\/a>. I\u2019m also concerned that swinging it this hard is not good for the modern player. It could be a situation where it\u2019s a five-year window and then basically you\u2019re burnt out after that.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf DeChambeau does take Augusta apart then I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if the Masters bring out a tournament ball for their future events. They have the power to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

DeChambeau, who gained more than 40 pounds this year to bulk up, recently took off six weeks to enhance his already peerless power. He reportedly showcased \u201cjaw-dropping\u201d length in a practice round at the Masters, according to former champion Sandy Lyle. During the round, DeChambeau hit drives of more than 400 yards, needing a 7-iron on his second shot to reach the green of the 570-yard, par-5 No. 8 hole, and sailing past the green with his 3-wood of the 350-yard, par-3 hole No. 3, according to Carl Paulson.<\/p>\n

If DeChambeau strikes the ball as well this week, Woosnam expects him to collect another major.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople are saying it could be like what Tiger Woods did there in 1997, but it could be even more so, I reckon,\u201d Woosnam said. \u201cThink about it \u2014 Bryson could have just a sand-iron to the first, a nine-iron with his second to the [par-5] second, drive the [par-4] third with a three-wood.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the 13th, if he launches it over those trees, we could see a pro actually taking a sand-wedge with his second to a par five. The course is 7,400 yards, but it could be like 6,200 yards for him. What would Augusta think about that?\u201d<\/p>\n

By next year, though, Woosnam thinks the Masters could even the playing field with a new type of ball.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere have been all the reports about a new tee on the 13th, but there\u2019s a whisper that they\u2019ve delayed putting it in because the ball might be changed. And I think it\u2019s going to have to be the ball that golf changes as they won\u2019t do anything [to the rest of the equipment] because of the manufacturers,\u201d Woosnam said. \u201cLet the manufacturers sell what they like to the amateurs, but the pros use something else. Otherwise, what are we going to do with great golf courses? You can\u2019t just keep expanding them because there isn\u2019t that much land and it is not environmentally right, is it? And Winged Foot showed that with the way they can launch these balls out of the rough, that\u2019s not much of a defense either. You\u2019ve got to build courses for the members, not for the pros, because they only play every now and again on them.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow can you put someone like DeChambeau on any layout you\u2019d call average or even tough? He\u2019d absolutely destroy it. And it\u2019s not going to stop. I have a bad back and I\u2019m longer now than I was in my prime. Crazy. But back then, with the balata ball there was far less margin for error. It was like kicking one of them light footballs on the beach \u2014 if you don\u2019t get it right, it goes all over the place. With these balls, it seems the harder you hit it, the straighter it goes and that\u2019s why DeChambeau has realized that the game is now all about how fast you can swing it.\u201d<\/p>\n

That, Woosnam said, is not necessarily good for the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook, I\u2019m not saying it\u2019s not impressive, because it is, and he\u2019s obviously put so much analysis and work into this,\u201d he said. \u201cGood luck to him. But what about the professional game as a spectacle, what about shot-making and imagination? You need the game to have more feel. There was nothing better than watching Tom Watson. Tiger uses a softer ball than anybody else so he can still shape shots and that\u2019s why I\u2019d love to see him win again. Because he is an artist and I know what he had to go through with his back to come back.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
