Is DeChambeau a young gun? 'I hope so'

PARAMUS, N.J. – Is Bryson DeChambeau a young gun?

Well, he’s 24. His victory at The Northern Trust moved him to 12th in the world ranking. And his three PGA Tour victories in the last 13 months are more than Rickie Fowler, Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth combined. He’s the 11th player in the last 30 years to win three times on the PGA Tour before age 25.

So yes, he’s both young and a gun. But until Sunday at Ridgewood Country Club, DeChambeau had never even considered the notion.

“I vew myself as kind of a one-off in a sense where I’m kind of doing my own thing, you know,” DeChambeau said.
