Nick Faldo kritiserar Bryson DeChambeau inför The Open

Nick Faldo har riktat skarp kritik mot Bryson DeChambeaus inställning till links-golf inför 2026 års Open Championship på Royal Birkdale.

Faldo fällde kommentarerna under ett framträdande i Sky Sports Golf Podcast. Han sade att DeChambeau inte har "en aning om strategi" när han spelar på links-banor och föreslog att spelaren borde fokusera på precision snarare än längd från tee. DeChambeau har missat kvalgränsen i de tre första majortävlingarna 2026. Faldo beskrev sviten som en möjlig "Rough Slam" och noterade kontrasten mot DeChambeaus starkare resultat på LIV Golf-touren. Den andre LIV-spelaren Jon Rahm gav liknande råd vid en presskonferens inför turneringen. Han varnade för att det kan leda till problem på de snabba fairwaysen på Royal Birkdale om man förlitar sig för mycket på sin driver under fyra rundor på The Open.
