Bryson DeChambeau once proposed walk speed as a factor for slow play

Bryson DeChambeau previously argued that professional golf governing bodies should incorporate walking speed into pace of play assessments. Speaking in 2019, the two-time US Open champion suggested that players who walk faster between shots compensate for extra time spent preparing at the ball. He contended that his methodical approach to shot calculations remained within reasonable limits when factoring in total round duration. This stance emerged during a period of significant scrutiny regarding his pace of play on the PGA Tour. The issue contributed to public friction between Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka, as critics questioned the time taken for individual shot execution. Bryson DeChambeau has since maintained that his focus on precision requires a deliberate approach to his pre-shot routine.
