The mad scientist for golf is back on it again.
After his electrifying victory at the US Open last year, Bryson Dechambeau is among the players to look at Augusta National this week.
And in real DeChambeau way, he makes sure everything is perfect.

Dechambeau played the back nine on Augusta National on Tuesday, but about 48 hours before his tee time, he said he felt his game wasn’t where it should be.
So he went to the range and hit some balls. And then a little more.
He mashed 393 balls to be accurate.
“Just felt like I wasn’t all the way there with my iron game and felt I needed to be a little more accurate,” DeChambeau said Wednesday. “Come out here and hit some golf balls, however, hit many I hit – it was a lot – and got some things that were called and rained out, so that’s what makes me comfortable. When I first get the particular feeling, you have to play that move, that’s what makes me comfortable.”

The right-to-left is needed for any golfer to win a green jacket, and perhaps the two-time US open master comments that the course is a couple 67 still well in the head.
Dechambeau was right in the mixture last year and even shared the lead through 36 holes. But he was unable to recover from a third round 75, who saw him four shots behind the possible champion, Scottie Scheffler. He wound up finishing tied to sixth at 2-under, nine strokes behind Scheffler.

Overall, it was a nice jump back to Defechaveau, who had missed his last two cuts on Masters and had never finished the top 20.
