Ultimately, the 32-year-old fell one stroke short of a playoff, in which Joaquin Niemann would beat Talor Gooch for the victory. <\/p>\n
Still, DeChambeau believes his game is on the upswing. <\/p>\n
Bryson DeChambeau shot a final round 65 to finish 3rd at LIV Golf Korea, just 1 shot out of the playoff. He said after the round that the improvement was due to the work he did with Gemini AI after the 71 on Saturday:<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, the beginning of the first round I felt great. Golf\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/7CmiBBRr3t<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Flushing It (@flushingitgolf) May 31, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cSo I came out here today with just a little bit more freer hands, and I felt the club a lot better, and I felt like I could close the club a lot more effectively and then I started striping it,\u201d the two-time U.S. Open champion said.<\/p>\n \u201cFrom then on out, I was able to kind of control it. Still missed some wedges to the right coming in, which is kind of frustrating, but that\u2019s just me holding on a little bit rather than just letting it go. I feel like I\u2019m on the right path now.\u201d<\/p>\n DeChambeau won consecutive LIV events in March; however, he failed to make the cut at both the Masters and the PGA Championship. <\/p>\n \u201cThis game is so brutal,\u201d he said. \u201cMissing two cuts at the majors and you feel like you\u2019re golden going in there, won a couple events and playing well, and this game can kick you when you’re at your highest.\u201d<\/p>\n So with a chance to return to the winner\u2019s circle in Korea, DeChambeau was beating golf balls on the range Saturday night, even after the sun went down. Only he wasn\u2019t working with a (human) swing coach to rectify the issues plaguing his game. <\/p>\n \u201cI was slamming the club in the ground trying to figure out what to do,\u201d said DeChambeau, who shot a final-round 65 and helped his squad, the Crshers, capture the team title. \u201cI was frustrated. Been trying everything in my body. I didn\u2019t actually figure it out on the range. I went back and started talking to [Google] Gemini and trying to figure out just what it could be to passively make the club turn over. Hands just felt like they were moving forward like this and I couldn’t get the club to turn over. Even if I tried to stop it here, it still wouldn\u2019t turn over.<\/p>\n \u201cSo I left kind of frustrated and learned later that night that I just needed to relax my grip pressure and let the thing just fold over naturally.\u201d<\/p>\n And after falling a hair short in Korea, DeChambeau believes he has room for improvement with his swing ahead of the U.S. and British Opens. <\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m still working it out,\u201d he said. \u201cI don\u2019t have the answer.\u201d<\/p>\n Perhaps AI does. <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/assets.minutemediacdn.com\/platform\/google_discover_icon.svg\"){kind=icon}
