Bryson doesn’t get past the red tee… and still makes birdie

Bryson DeChambeau was the protagonist of the day on the first round of the LIV Golf Adelaide. He made a shot that is not often seen in professional golf. Specifically, he topped the ball from the tee on the 10th hole, par 5, and it barely went past the red tees. However, he then made a birdie. His second shot was extraordinary, practically bouncing off the flag.

DeChambeau was left perplexed after his first shot and began to examine the clubface to see if it could have been a material issue. It was not.

Bryson did not hesitate to take it with good humour. “The line was perfect, straight towards the tee area, bounced on the cart path… I got a nice mark on the ball. Some kid out there has a ball with a cool mark. Then I hit a perfect 3-wood 287 yards, about eight metres, and two putts for birdie. What more do you want?” he explained.

DeChambeau noted that it is not the first time it has happened to him, although perhaps not in this way. “The last time I did that was at THE PLAYERS in 2021, from the 4th tee… and it cost me THE PLAYERS. It has happened before. That shot was more that I hit it very thin. I just hit too much downwards. This time I hit it really well. It was a perfect shot straight to the tee area. It was incredible. I have to make sure not to hit it with too negative an attack angle next time,” he pointed out.

Regarding his lead and the plan for the next three days, the American stated the following: “It’s going to be all about patience the next few days, the next three days. An example: on the 9th I hit a great drive, a great second shot and the wind started pushing the ball to the right and it ended up in some kind of tree hollow. I thought: ‘I don’t deserve that.’ But it happens. Then, on the next hole, I top the drive, and it’s like: ‘What’s going on?’ I feel like I’m playing great shooting 3 or 4 under par. I don’t know, it was a weird thing. But you keep patient and start executing shots like on the 11th, where other years I had gone to the right and just being a bit more patient and saying: ‘Okay, here I have to play it lower and let it run to the flag,’ those decisions make the difference when playing tough courses.”
