DeChambeau<\/a> cut a frustrated figure and shot a seven-over-par 78, his worst ever round in a major.<\/p>\nThe American has stated a desire to explore Giant\u2019s Causeway during his time in this part of the world and at that stage, it looked as though he may have a couple of extra days to do so.<\/p>\n
But then the fightback began. He surged inside the cutline with a six-under-par 65 on Friday, climbed again with a Saturday 68 and saved his best until last.<\/p>\n
Seven birdies on a bogey-free card meant he signed for a 64, the joint-best round of the week.<\/p>\n
The only man to match it? Scottie Scheffler \u2013 and DeChambeau could not help wondering what might have been had his first round gone even slightly better.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a fun three days,\u201d he said. \u201cI was really proud of the way I turned it around and gave myself actually some hope on the third round, after I was\u00a0three-under.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat first nine I thought, okay, if I go shoot\u00a0four\u00a0or\u00a0five-under on the back and give myself a chance on Sunday, throw myself up there and go out and play just as good as I did, like I did today, I could be right up there and giving Scottie a run.<\/p>\n
\u201cI like it when it’s fair conditions. I can play well. I still have to crack the code when it’s raining and windy.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I feel like we’re getting close to some opportunities and solutions for that. It just takes a long time to develop stuff, I’m starting to learn.\u201d<\/p>\n
DeChambeau set the tone with birdies at 3 and 4, coming close to an eagle at the latter, and enjoyed a moment to treasure with a successful birdie putt from 11 feet on the 18th.<\/p>\n
It earned him a rapturous ovation illustrative of DeChambeau\u2019s ever-growing popularity in the galleries, boosted by an online presence which has captivated a younger audience worldwide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There is rarely a dull day in the life of Bryson DeChambeau but even by his standards, he…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":11128,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[5904,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-11127","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11127","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11127"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11127\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11128"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11127"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11127"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11127"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
