Sir Nick Faldo expressed strong criticism of Bryson DeChambeau's approach to links golf, stating he has 'zero clue of strategy'. DeChambeau aims to end a streak of missing cuts in his last three major starts at The Open at Royal Birkdale. Faldo, a three-time Open champion, emphasized the need for a conservative strategy rather than an aggressive one. DeChambeau previously struggled in last year's Open Championship, finishing tied for 10th but starting with a challenging round. He is set to use a new 3D-printed club set at the tournament.
