SAN DIEGO – As fascinating and wonderfully complicated as a practice round with Phil Mickelson and Bryson DeChambeau sounds, the world got a glimpse into two of the game’s deepest thinkers on Monday at Torrey Pines.
Mickelson and DeChambeau were videoed hitting flop shots during a practice round at the U.S. Open with Lefty clearly doing most of the talking.
“My coach Chris [Como] is super interested in trying to understand what's going on, like how he hits that high spinner,” DeChambeau explained. “We were asking him questions. There was a super slo-mo video on it, and he saw it, and he was like, man, it's cool to actually see that in action.
