Bryson DeChambeau apologizes ahead of Masters, reflects on past comment

As Bryson DeChambeau prepares for his ninth Masters, he reflects on his controversial 2020 claim that Augusta National was a 'par 67' for him. While he has not regretted making the statement, he acknowledges it was disrespectful and has since learned from the experience. DeChambeau has expressed his admiration for Augusta, describing it as a peaceful place and sharing his excitement about practicing there, especially at sunset. His comments mark a significant shift in tone, as he previously faced backlash for his bold assertion about the course. Now eyeing his third major title, DeChambeau is focused on performing well and appreciates the history of the venue. He remains a polarizing figure in golf, particularly due to his association with LIV Golf and past remarks.
