Bryson DeChambeau explains his casino logic: 'I'm trying to be the house'

Maybe this is why Bryson DeChambeau has gotten as big as a house.

He's trying to be the house.

DeChambeau has undergone as dramatic overhaul of his body since late last year, and he re-emerged from the Tour's COVID hiatus as a good 20 pounds heavier. He's now up 235-240 pounds and is routinely ripping drives in excess of 350 yards.

On Friday, he cut the corner at the 389-yard, par-4 ninth and nearly drove the green, bashing his drive 358 yards on a straight line over the trees. A hole later, he sent a ball 428 yards, when he flew his drive 328 and a cart path did the rest.
