Russell Henley recalls a tournament in 2021 that he “choked away,” in Greensboro, “and the next week or two weeks after, I saw (Bryson DeChambeau) and he walked up and said, ‘Hey, man, keep your head up, that happens to everybody.’
“I’ll always remember that,”
Yeah, obviously a great player. Um, explosive is a great word for how he plays. Um, I’ve just really enjoyed Bryson. You know, Bryson, um, after, let’s see, Greensboro in 20 21 maybe, I was leading the tournament and I choked it away. And the next week or the two weeks after I saw him in Baltimore at Caves Valley and he walked up and said, uh, he goes, “Hey man, you know, keep your head up. that happens to everybody. You’re playing some great golf and just encouraged me and I I I always remember that. Um and so obviously I haven’t played a lot of golf with him the last couple years, but um I’ve always enjoyed Bryson and um it’s been really cool getting to kind of pick his brain this week. You know, I think we we operate a lot, you know, differently on the golf course and he plays a lot different game than I do. So sitting with him last night at dinner was cool getting to kind of ask him what he’s been doing in the practice rounds and stuff. and he’s just he’s just a he’s he’s a great teammate. It’s been cool. Have you brought that up to him since that he encouraged you at all or what’s what was his reaction to that? Um oh, he just said he appreciated me bringing it up and you know uh he meant it and um yeah, he’s it it’s just cool. It was cool to to receive encouragement from a player of his caliber and uh that you know typically you don’t really know what to say when one of your you know when you see a guy kind of choke in a tournament but it was cool. He he worded it in a way that was encouraging to me.
