Bryson DeChambeau says The Open has ability to be diabolical as he plots glory at Portrush
American star knows the toughness of the 153rd Championship course
Wary Bryson DeChambeau admits Royal Portrush can be diabolical as he says he'll need diligence to end his Major term in style at The Open.
The American star feels frustrated that he has been unable to knock-off one of the game's biggest events so far in calendar year with a strong run at the Masters his closest call.
DeChambeau, who has two US Opens on his CV, has just one opportunity left to get the job done in 2025 and it comes next month at the 153rd Championship. The LIV Golf star accepts it's going to be a fearsome challenge to get the job done having sampled the toughness of the track during Shane Lowry's success of six years ago on home soil.
DeChambeau was asked what he remembered about it and said: 'Yeah, it can be diabolical. Driver is key on that golf course in wind conditions, in side wind conditions. It's going to be a good test of controlling your golf ball, so I've got to be in touch with my game. I've got to have better feel. I'd say disappointed that I haven't won one [Major] yet. I've got to fine tune my game and focus on executing my shots the way I know I can on the golf course. I haven't been doing that recently.
'A little bit more due diligence on my side of the coin. Not taking things for granted and focusing on what I can do to give myself the best chance to win at the British Open. Probably being a little more strategic that week.'
DeChambeau also gave his views of the Ryder Cup situation with Keegan Bradley being hotly-tipped to appear at Bethpage as both captain and player for the United States. He said: 'I personally think given how he's played, I could confidently say he should be a part of the team for sure.'
Dechambeau, meanwhile, admits he's excited for this week's LIV event and said: 'I think having it be my own tournament is going to be a lot of fun. I think it's great to come to Dallas and have everybody come out and support us. I think there's going to be upwards of 40,000 people potentially here this week, so it's going to be a lot of fun, and super excited for the week. The golf course is in incredible shape. It's going to be a tough test of golf. Man, what a fiery place this could be. I'm excited for the week.
'I'm going to focus more on the golf this week. I'm looking forward to a great test of golf and our team is coming off of two wins, so we're pumped to be looking at going three for three for the Crushers and I'm more excited about that and focused on that right now.'

Young Scots golf sensation mentored by Robert MacIntyre earns stunning late qualification spot for The Open at Portrush
It rounds off a brilliant 12 months for him ROYAL INVITE Young Scots golf sensation mentored by Robert MacIntyre earns stunning late qualification spot for The Open at Portrush Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A YOUNG Scots golfer will tee it up at The Open next month after a stunning run of form saw him top the rankings of a tightly-contested amateur qualifying series. Cameron Adam of Edinburgh will share the fairways alongside the likes of Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler and Robert MacIntyre at Royal Portrush from July 17. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Cameron Adam topped The Open Amateur Series to earn a spot at The Open 3 Royal Portrush is hosting the 153rd Open Championship next month Credit: Alamy 3 Shane Lowry was crowned Champion Golfer of the Year last time at Portrush Credit: Getty The Royal Burgess golfer, who played collegiate golf in America at Northwestern University, was the best performing player across The Open Amateur Series - a sequence of three elite amateur events that take place in Europe in the lead-up to the sport's most historic competition. Adam, 21, won the coveted St Andrews Links Trophy at the start of June and also competed in the R&A's Amateur Championship, held at Royal St George's and Royal Cinque Ports in Kent later in the month. He then rounded off the series with a top ten finish at the European Amateur Championship at Vasatorps Golfklubb in Sweden this weekend to formally punch his ticket to Northern Ireland. It caps a strong 12 months for Adam, who won his first career collegiate title this year with a three-under-par 207 (67-70-70) at the Clerico in Oklahoma. Adam, who like his mentor MacIntyre is a left-hander, had his best season to date on the ultra-competitive college circuit this year with four top-fives and five top-tens in addition to his Clerico win. He was ranked one of the best players in the country, earning First Team All-Big Ten Conference honours. Last year at Troon, Callum Scott qualified in similar fashion and would go on to claim the Silver Medal as the top amateur at the 152nd Open. Xander Schauffele of the USA goes into the 153rd edition of golf's most prestigious event as the reigning champion, while Ireland's Shane Lowry will have dreams of getting his hands on the Claret Jug once again, just as he did back in 2019 at the same venue. Adam ensures there will be at least two Scots in the field at the County Antrim links but others can still qualify for The Open. Callum Hill is three shots off the lead at the Italian Open and a win at Argentario Golf Club would vault him right into contention for a place at Portrush. Brooks Koepka suffers meltdown and smashes tee marker into fans before withdrawing from LIV Dallas claiming 'illness' Fellow Scots Ewen Ferguson and Connor Syme are higher than Hill in the world rankings but Ferguson is ten shots back from leader Martin Couvra and Syme isn't playing in the event. The Scottish Open, which takes place in a fortnight, will also offer places at Royal Portrush. The leading three players at the Renaissance Club who are not already exempt will be able to grace the fairways of the Dunluce Links the following week.

Jake Paul vs Chavez Jr fight LIVE: UK start time, results and stream
Jake Paul returns to action later this evening when he takes on former middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. The YouTuber-turned-boxer has not fought since his controversial showdown with Mike Tyson. Despite failing to get a knockdown in the fight, the 'Problem Child' scored a dominant victory on points. Paul had hoped to return to the ring earlier this year - following sensational reports that the American was finalising a deal to fight Canelo Alvarez in May. However, the Mexican opted to pen a deal with Riyadh Season instead. It has been a rather quiet few years in the ring for Chavez Jr. The 39-year-old - who holds a professional record of 54-6-1-1 - ended a three year hiatus last July when he defeated former UFC middleweight contender Uriah Hall. Paul is hoping that a win over Chavez Jr will earn him several high profile fights going forward, but his upcoming foe will be looking to cause a real upset and hand the 'Problem Child' only his second defeat. Be sure to stay tuned with all the live updates below... Hello everyone and welcome to our live blog for Jake Paul's showdown with Julio Chavez Jr. Tonight's event promises to be an exciting watch - with the card stacked from top to bottom with several big names. As well as the main event, Zurdo Ramirez - one of the world's best cruiserweights on the planet - will defend his world titles against former champion Yuniel Dorticos, and victory could see him her a potential blockbuster showdown with Jai Opetaia later this year. But all eyes are on Paul - who has not fought since his dominant win over Mike Tyson. Tonight marks the American's first fight this year and is planning on a busy rest of 2025 should he come away unscathed against the former middleweight champion.
