Kyle Berkshire went through two years playing for the University of North Texas before his golf way exchanged over to power, and he covered his amazing flood by winning the World Long Drive Championship a year ago.
He is a fundamental motivation for U.S. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau, who is endeavoring to hit the ball as far as could be expected under the circumstances. They have never met face to face, however, they talk consistently on the phone.
It’s a two-way road.
“He helps me out a little bit with the golf side, so it works out pretty good,” Berkshire said. “He’s trying to gain distance. I’m trying to sharpen my game.”
Berkshire, a 23-year-old from Maryland whose ball speed has finished out – up until now – at around 230 mph, is prepared to re-visitation of the more conventional game and would like to in the long run acquire his way into tour events. He said his impairment is at in addition to 3, still not exactly where it was at North Texas, however he’s gaining ground.
Furthermore, he’s discovered that working on his short game and shot-production isn’t influencing his capacity to launch shots in the World Long Drive events.
“My last event I think was the best I’ve ever been,” he said. “The four weeks before, I didn’t do any long drive. The night before the event, I was working on my wedges.”
Previous champion Jamie Sadlowski is the most noticeable player from the World Long Drive field to play on pro tours. He has been in two PGA Tour events, at Colonial and the Safeway Open in 2017, missing the cut in both. Be that as it may, he has made various cuts on the Mackenzie Tour in Canada, and one cut on what is presently the Korn Ferry Tour in 2015.
Berkshire wants to get his handicap index to a “solid (plus-)5.” The first stop is little tours in Florida.
