ROYAL BIRKDALE — Bryson DeChambeau is two days away from an ignominious achievement.
Should the American find himself outside the top 70 after play on Friday, he will not make the weekend’s play and achieve the “cut slam”: he will have missed the cut at all four slams.
You could argue he would be the best player ever to do it: no multiple major winner (under the age of 40, since some of the exempt veterans have managed it) has ever done it. Perhaps the best previous entry is Sergio Garcia, who in 2018 missed all four cuts as reigning Masters champion.
So I thought best to go and see how form might affect his mood: I trailed him for his last two days of preparation at Birkdale, and was surprised by what I found.
