[Golf Topic] 'Hulk' DeChambeau "Wrist Injury Serious"..."Surgery Possible?"

[Asia Economy Kim Hyun-jun, Golf Specialist Reporter] ○…‘Hulk’ Bryson DeChambeau (USA, photo) appears to have a serious wrist injury.

The PGA Tour announced on its website on the 14th (Korean time) that "DeChambeau is considering wrist surgery." The issue began when he fell while playing table tennis with Sergio Garcia (Spain) during the Asian Tour PIF Saudi International held in February at the King Abdullah Economic City Royal Greens Golf Club (par 70) in Saudi Arabia. He withdrew just before the second round and had not appeared on the PGA Tour for nearly two months since missing the cut at the Farmers Insurance Open in January.

The impact was even greater for DeChambeau as the Arnold Palmer Invitational in March was a title defense, and The Players Championship is considered the ‘fifth major.’ He participated in the World Golf Championships (WGC) Dell Technologies Match Play but failed to advance to the round of 16 with a preliminary record of 1 draw and 2 losses. This month, he was consecutively cut from the Valero Texas Open and the prestigious Masters Tournament. On the second day of the Masters, he particularly struggled, shooting 8-over-par 80 with 1 birdie, 5 bogeys, and 2 double bogeys, damaging his pride.
