Having topped the leaderboard at Pinehurst, the American was in good spirits during his press conference.

After a beautiful round in which DeChambeau had a chance at glory, he was asked why he soaks his golf balls in salt.

After receiving the question, the 2020 US Open winner laughed before saying, “Thanks for the salty balls question.”

He then continued, “Yes, I put my golf balls in Epsom salt.

“I’m fortunate that Connor, my manager, does that now. I don’t have to do that. But essentially, we float the golf balls in a solution to make sure the golf ball doesn’t get out of balance.”

“There was a big problem in the past where golf balls were out of balance, and that was just because of the manufacturing process.

“There will always be a mistake, especially when it is a sphere and there are dimples on the edges.

“So what I’m doing is figuring out the imbalance of this, how unbalanced it is.

“He acts like mud. If there is a lot of weight on one side, you can place it 90 degrees to where the mud is on the right or left side.

“I’m using the mud as a reference for the weight there. It will fly differently and inconsistently.

“For most golf balls we get, it’s not a big deal.

“I just try to be as accurate as possible, and it’s another step I take to make sure my golf ball flies as straight as possible because I’m not very good at hitting it that straight.”

DeChambeau, aiming to win his second major, led the leaderboard by three shots on the final night of play.
