Carlos Alcaraz has been the latest guest on Bryson DeChambeau‘s YouTube channel. The recent winner of the Australian Open and World Number One has joined the challenge of trying to break the 50-shot barrier, always playing the best ball of the two and teeing off from the red tees. The chosen venue, La Gorce Country Club, in Miami Beach.
An hour of golf between the youngest player in tennis history to achieve the Grand Slam and the double Major winner. The challenge was to match or surpass the 49 shots achieved by Bryson himself and Stephen Curry. To do this, they needed to beat the course by 22 shots, par 71.
Although it was recorded a few weeks ago, the video release coincides exactly with the start of the LIV season and has already comfortably surpassed a million views on YouTube. The fact that it was published at the same timing as the Riyadh tournament has also been seen as some pressure from the American who is negotiating his renewal, with some interpreting it as a way of saying that his videos have more impact than the circuit itself.
The video shows Carlitos’ progress in recent months, showcasing important flashes of quality, good drives, and solid irons. The shot of the day from the Spaniard came on the 16th hole. What an iron to get close to a hole-in-one. The duo was more erratic with the putter in hand. The conversations about how to manage pressure, how to learn to live with nerves, or the satisfaction of making an ace in difficult moments are also not to be missed. The Spaniard also explained his evolution in serving over the past two years, his worst moment on a tennis court, and many other topics.
You may be more or less a fan of Bryson DeChambeau’s style, but the content is more than entertaining, and having the World Number One in tennis is undoubtedly great news for the world of golf. Will we see other great tennis legends recording with Bryson?
