Bryson DeChambeau remembers YouTube video that hooked him to his idol's game

Bryson DeChambeau shared an interesting story on how he was attracted to Ben Hogan’s game in his recent interview. The American golfer is enjoying an offseason.

This week, in an exclusive interview with Flushing It Golf, the former US Open winner talked about his inspiration. He talked about Hogan’s era and shared that he enjoyed watching his golf swing on YouTube.

"It was his golf swing on YouTube," DeChambeau said (via Flushing it on X). "'I'll never forget this YouTube video that had some beautiful music playing behind it. It was really intense. This music from Blood Diamond the movie with a compilation of Ben Hogan’s golf swings and it emotionally struck me in a way that I can still feel today. "Just a beauty behind it and this mysteriousness about how good he hit it, and just everybody talking about how good of a ball striker he was and if he could just putt, he would have won everything and been the best golfer of all time," he added.

Bryson DeChambeau has become more active on YouTube and is widely known for sharing golf-related videos on his channel. The LIV Golf star has around 2.55 million subscribers on his channel. Last year, his golf series “Break 50” grabbed the attention of the people.

He won on the LIV Golf but struggled in the majors. DeChambeau rated his season as a “B-minus.” He also talked about his game at the Augusta National and LIV Golf Korea event. He said (via Flushing It on X):

"I'm pretty hard on myself. So, I personally think it was, you know, I didn't win a major, so in my perspective, it was definitely a B to B minus. I felt like I was doing a lot of things (to start the year) and I couldn't get my game quite where I wanted it to be. I found it right around Augusta and played well through Korea, I just didn't execute and do the things I know I needed to do."
