Bryson DeChambeau shoots a 7-under 65 to take the early clubhouse lead at the 88th Masters tournament. DeChambeau takes advantage of a softer Augusta National and birdies three of the four par-5s.
AUGUSTA, Ga. — The 88th Masters began Thursday after a two-and-a-half hour weather delay, and Bryson DeChambeau took advantage of a softer Augusta National .
DeChambeau, who infamously said in 2020 that Augusta National was a par-67 for him instead of a par-72 because of how his length was an advantage on the par-5s, indeed birdied three of the four including Nos. 13 and 15. He also birdied both par-3s on the second nine along with a birdie at the par-4 17th to fire 32 coming in. He also birdied the first three holes of his round and had just one bogey, at the par-4 9th.
DeChambeau plays in the LIV Golf League as the captain of the Crushers GC team and had the logo of his team on his hat and shirt, and his caddie carried a dark green Crushers bag. “I think the negotiations are going on with or without a win,” DeChambeau said. “I think if a LIV player were to win, including myself, I think we'd all be extremely excited and happy for whoever that individual is.
