Reigning US Open champ Bryson DeChambeau believes far too much brain training and resulting in ‘crazy overworking” was behind his health problems during last November’s Masters meltdown. DeChambeau, 27, had the Augusta National green jacket members on tender hooks ahead of last November’s rescheduled Masters with fears the golf’s ‘Hulk Hogan’ would run amuck among the Georgia ‘Cathedral in the Pines’ following his crushing triumph at Winged Foot.
