PGA Tour star Bryson DeChambeau shares his core technique for escaping greenside bunkers with ease and control. He demonstrates proper clubface manipulation, stance adjustments, and how to utilize the wedge's bounce to splash the ball out cleanly.
Open the clubface first before taking your grip to expose the wedge's bounce.
Dig your feet into the sand to create stability and lower your hub relative to the ball.
Aim to strike the sand 1 to 2 inches behind the ball rather than hitting the ball directly.
Maintain swing speed and accelerate through impact to ensure the sand splashes the ball onto the green.
