DeChambeau at '80 per cent' for The Masters after 'huge risk'

Bryson DeChambeau has admitted he returned from injury quicker than he was advised in order to get ready for The Masters and is still not back to 100 per cent at Augusta National.

The former US Open champion has struggled for form and fitness during an injury-plagued start to the year, missing his Arnold Palmer Invitational title defence and also sitting out of The Players due to wrist and hip issues.

DeChambeau failed to progress from the group stage at the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play and missed the cut at the Valero Texas Open last week, raising questions over how prepared he is for another assault at Augusta National.

"Going into the injuries, I mean, did not expect it to be that prevalent," DeChambeau said. "One of the things I didn't do is take care of my hands and my hip like I should have, and I went pretty hard.

"I wouldn't do anything else to change what happened because it's made me a better person because of it, I've learned a little bit more about my body and how to respond and how to recover in a better manner.

"[I'm] proud of the fact that I've been able to get here in a short amount of time. Normally a bone fracture takes four months to properly fully heal; I'm back here in two. So, pleased with that. And hitting golf balls on the range today, was able to sustain practise for a good amount of time.
