[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○…‘Hulk’ Bryson DeChambeau (USA, photo) ended his challenge at the Long Drive World Championship in the quarterfinals.

On the 2nd (Korean time), at the Mesquite Sports & Event Complex in Mesquite, Nevada, USA, he advanced to the quarterfinals ranked 8th overall after the round of 16 but failed to reach the semifinals. In the round of 16, conducted in 5 sets of 6 attempts each, he scored a total of 500 points, including a longest drive of 406 yards, securing the last spot in the quarterfinals. However, in the quarterfinals, he placed 3rd out of 4 in his group and did not advance to the semifinals. His longest drive was 391 yards, ranking 3rd in the group behind Justin James (USA, 403 yards) and Martin Borkmaier (Germany, 397 yards).

DeChambeau is the player who won the US Open last year and has a total of 8 wins on the PGA Tour. About two years ago, he started gaining muscle and increasing his driving distance, and in the 2020/2021 PGA Tour season, he ranked first with an average driving distance of 323.7 yards. Kyle Berkshire (USA) successfully defended his title by hitting a maximum drive of 422 yards in the final against James (418 yards). The Golf Channel in the US introduced Berkshire as "a good friend of DeChambeau and a long drive mentor."
