Bryson DeChambeau selects new caddieBryson DeChambeau selects new caddie
Bryson DeChambeau has selected a new caddie. Brian Zeigler, an instructor at Dallas National, will carry DeChambeau’s bag in next week’s Open Championship at Royal St. George’s. DeChambeau announced the move on social media. “Jumping into the deep end!” DeChambeau said. “Excited to have Brian Zeigler joining the team as my new caddie. Can’t wait to have him be part of the journey. Thank you to my great friend Tim Tucker for everything you have done for me. I am grateful for our friendship.” Dallas National is where DeChambeau practices at home. His instructor, Chris Como, is the director of instruction at the course. Tucker was on the bag for all eight of DeChambeau’s PGA TOUR wins, including last year’s U.S. Open. DeChambeau and Tucker split on the eve of last week’s Rocket Mortgage Classic. “Everybody always thinks there was some kind of falling out, but there really wasn’t. This was in the works for a while,” DeChambeau told Golf.com. “Tim is a really, really great friend of mine. He’s somebody that I’ve cared about, and still care about, and will care about for the rest of my life.” Tucker, who also spoke to Golf.com, said a combination of DeChambeau’s long hours and Tucker’s new business contributed to the decision. Tucker is starting a luxury transportation service to and from the Bandon Dunes Resort in Oregon, where he used to caddie. “We were really tired. The season; the TOUR schedule was grinding on us, grinding on me. I knew I was working on this business on the side; we’ve had a very intense relationship where he works a lot of hours,” he said. “It was a little bit of me not being 100% healthy and happy. … We made the best decision for the both of us.” DeChambeau, who has two wins this season, is No. 4 in the FedExCup. He has missed the cut in two of his three Open Championship appearances and finished T51 in the other.

SANDWICH, England (AP) — Matthew Wolff was among three more players who have withdrawn from The Open Championship next week at Royal St. George’s. The R&A did not list a reason for Wolff withdrawing. The No. 35 player in the world, he took 10 weeks off to clear his head, returning at the U.S. Open and tying for 15th. He then played the next two weeks. Danny Lee, who pulled out of the John Deere Classic on Friday, withdrew because of injury. K.H. Lee withdrew because of the birth of his child. They were replaced in the field by Andy Sullivan of England, Antoine Rozner of France and Troy Merritt of the U.S. Merritt lost in a playoff last week at the Rocket Mortgage Classic. That brings to 10 the number of players who chose not to play this year, not including past champions like the injured Tiger Woods.
