The Open: Sir Nick Faldo says Bryson DeChambeau has 'zero clue of strategy' as American looks to end missed cut streak

Sir Nick Faldo believes Bryson DeChambeau has "zero clue of strategy" when it comes to playing links golf.

DeChambeau is looking to end his unwanted run of missing the cut in his last three starts at the major championships with a big finish at The Open at Royal Birkdale this week.

Despite his woes at this year's PGA Championship, The Masters and the US Open, DeChambeau has enjoyed a great season on LIV Golf, winning both LIV Golf Singapore and LIV Golf South Africa in March.

At last year's Open Championship, the American long driver finished tied for 10th, but endured a tough opening round at Royal Portrush, in which he shot a seven-over par 78, that left him scrambling to make the cut on day two.

The two-time US Open champion had attempted to take a more aggressive strategy in his opening round, stating prior to the tournament that his "driver would be key" to conquering Royal Portrush, a tactic that raised eyebrows among some.

Faldo, who won three Open Championships, two at Muirfield and one at the Old Course at St Andrews, believes a more conservative plan is required to conquer Royal Birkdale this week.
