MEMPHIS – Bryson DeChambeau let his clubs do most of the talking Saturday at TPC Southwind.
DeChambeau shot a 7-under-par 63 to pull within two strokes of leader Harris English the FedEx St. Jude Invitational, then declined to comment to most of the media after the third round.
He was apparently upset with several stories written about his refusal to get the COVID-19 vaccine after he missed the Tokyo Olympics because of a positive test. He did agree to interviews with rights holders CBS Sports, Sky Sports and SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio.
“It was beautiful to be able to score really well,” DeChambeau said. “I didn’t feel like my ball striking was perfect, but I got it around really well and I was very pleased with it.”
English has led by two strokes after each of the first three rounds in this World Golf Championships event, opening with a 62 and shooting back-to-back 65s to get to 18-under 192. The 32-year-old former Baylor School and University of Georgia player is in position for his fifth PGA Tour victory and third of the season.
