Bryson DeChambeau Highlights Round 1 | PGA Championship 2025

Massive calories following DeChambeau's first tee shot. What a start. What a way to start. Just right down the middle. In for his second shot to the first. Approach shot in flight. DeChambeau back right portion of the green lances softly. Stay there. Very good. Uphill. He's going to roll 40 feet past and all the way back. Yep. Won't have any problems. One last look. DeChambeau. They're in a bit of trouble. Rolling it for Birdie. Scares it. Solid. Taps that in for par one. DeChambeau. I think that's probably perfect. Anywhere right of that tallest tree. And it's a flip sandwich. Punish that one. Yeah. It's just another world. Very systematic player here. Used the old clock system here. This one a little right of the hole though. Pretty good shots. We got it surrounded. DeChambeau. Leaves it out to the right. Another putt that you can see the speed of the greens. That was quick. Great putt though. Hole goes. Down the right center. Drifting. A little bit right of center. I think he hit it so hard it's the bunkers are not in play. But he did miss the fairway. And that one sat down a little bit. First missed fairway. Bryson's going to need every bit of his 7 degree upright irons here to get this one up and down. Thick lie here on the right. Nobody's hitting it here during the week. He caught a massive flyer. That's going to be real trouble. Really high. Came out hot. There you go. Now down this slope. That's going to have to slow down. DeChambeau. Up and over the ridge. Going left. All the way. Left for DeChambeau. A whole lot of clean up here. He's got to lick your wounds. Go to number 4. You're going to make a lot of bogeys when you hit it over there. That's just what he's done. And this will be a good test of his distance control this week. Another one deep. Hole location sits on this crown. This looks pretty good. Oh, wow. Gosh, that was just a quarter of a roll from going in. Yeah, for sure. He took no time over that ball. I mean the lie was sitting up pretty nicely. And he took advantage of it. Almost got it in for a 2. Unleashed the crack in there. Just your garden variety, 300. Wedge here. Make it 50! Trying to bring it in right to left, didn't he? Did not hit. That's the part of his game. 60 to 110 yards. Bump and run. Just stuck right into the ground right there on that upslope. Sure did. That was kind of the... The putter showing signs of life on the 5th green. That was a great save. That would have been a real shame having a 119-yard shot in. This one will work back into the wind ever so slightly. This 2 on a pretty nice line. Does he have the distance? And he's going to probably trickle off. Hold. It doesn't pick up too much speed, which it is starting to now. Maybe holds that far. A lot better than Victor Hovland's right here. Back into the wind, up the hill. Ooh, and he was giving it a run. Now he's going to have one of those. Putt right here. This very vertical. Almost an 80-degree lie angle on this putter. Gets it as vertical as anybody in the game. And gets it to go! It was quick. Bryce has kind of reached the tip of our bunker down the left. That may be even out of range for him today with this wind coming into the players. Oh, no. Four left. Four left. Well left. Four left. Into the pine straw. I think if he can get this ball, all he has to do is hit it about 130 yards. Maybe down the fairway. Not even. Just kind of scooting it down this right center. That's perfect. Exactly as you were dialing up. Yeah, that's the perfect layup. Still only have it did back there with that little wedge on number five. I mean, you know, nine, ten feet right of this hole. It goes all the way down to the front right. So, you have to err just left of this hole if anything. And the distance looks pretty good. Just go right at it. Did you see how firm that thing bounced into the wind right there? Yeah, that went real. Speed, you never know, it might topple in. Speed was good. Just barely. So he's just kind of treading water right now. Scott, how much in the first round? The tee as well. This one went by really fast. Kind of aimed at the right side of the green right here. Might be in the right bunker. Get into the bunker. Looked like it settled down in the rough, didn't it, George? Certainly did. Easy one. If you get a little cue, you could chunk it right in the bunker. It's got to go. Yeah, well. That's got to stay. Oh boy, that's very fortunate. The last part. Working its way from right to left. Too much. Apart from Bryson also. Guard that left side. This will be the full Bryson smash here. Kind of heading a little right center. Should be okay though. And it is. Belted that. This one kind of riding a little right. It's got to get a fortunate bounce. In. You can see why it's. DeChambeau to get back to even. Left all the way. Which he does. One over 36 for Bryson DeChambeau. Nine holes down. Nine holes to go. They're about to make the. Bryson get it past this one. Definitely could. I think he did. Oh. No, he didn't. Oh. That was. What was that? Probably a nine iron or wedge. Got a little bit more out of that than I thought. Still won't be able to get there though. I really like his action on these. Just a body turn and arm swing. Not a lot of hand action. Yeah, he's just a little. Even on that. That's a nice shot. But he's still. He's like a little late with the club. Going just a. Little run right here. Well, he looks like he's playing a fair amount of break. Left to right. Big time. It's a battle back to even. DeChambeau. Drains it. Read it perfectly. I think it is. Right back into the sun right here. This one is just. Blistered though. Right on that line we're talking. And if anybody can do it. You're right. I mean, he's got these clubs. He's got to get these clubs close to the hole. Because he has so many of them. And that's a good one. It's almost. It's almost like using a long putter pendulum. And he's good with it. Let's see how good he is. Another miss on the low side. You know what? It may. Be the end of the world for most people. If he went down those two rabbit holes. Wind up in a straight jacket. This looks like the big stick for Bryson though. Going a little right. Let's see if it. Ooh. Didn't have eyes. Quite where it went down. I think we see. Some white there. This tree is only 30 feet ahead of him at the most. Oh my goodness. I cannot believe he hit that over that tree. Bryson says what tree? That was just a. Pure strength. Right there. If you're not careful. Yeah, big. Big swinging left to right. He's playing 12, 15 feet of break. Just trying to get it to trickle at the end. Oh, this is nicely done though. That was excellent. Pretty lag from DeChambeau. Oh boy. Well, that was a great two putt. But that was not as. Nearly as easy as it looks. Easy one. If you get a little cue. That was. I mean you could three. Here's DeChambeau. This one. Fairly aggressive here. Very aggressive. The wind actually kind of. White. And I don't blame him. So yeah, it looks similar. DeChambeau. Oh boy. And here's a lot of grass around that like guys. And that's going to come back off. He's going to have another shot at it. That's a page out of my playbook. Well, there wasn't a lot of grass ahead of it, Scott. But. Going with putter. Got the putter in his hands very quickly. That one didn't come out either. There's some extra glue in that. Right. Nothing bothers you and nothing happens. But. Shorty for DeChambeau. Brushes it in. For the mere mortals. And that was just a smooth pass at that one. He's going to touch left. Needs to hang on. In the bunker. I believe it got in the bunker, which is. You can't get too cute with it. No, you don't want to leave it in there. It's not bad at all. Yeah. I just couldn't get tons of spin on it. But I'd say that's pretty good. And this one just should slide down towards the water as well. And it does in a big way. Man, that thing was. Couldn't get the cards in. But you have to. You have to wait for your run of cards. You can't force the issue and double down when the dealer's. Showing a good one or something like that, you know. Challenge that penalty area a little bit though, I think. It looks like he smashed it. And he. Did it. Mincemeat. 221 to the hole. Good strike here. Pretty aggressive line over the center bunker. Sit down. Good shot. Pretty deep in the green. Be a good. Gary. A lot better spot than Bryson. Balled. Yeah. Just didn't hit the right. Part of that. Concentrating on this one. Not a lot to this one though, right? No, just a little right to left and got to hit it though. And he did. Nicely hold by DeChambeau. Back to even par. Going to give this one the full treatment though. I think he thinks it's okay, George. What do you think? Oh, it is. Carried a 325 past the bunker. That's ridiculous. He has really driven the ball. Safely out to the right. Giving it plenty of birth. That's all right. It's just one of those weird putts. It looks like it goes left, but it doesn't. Good par for DeChambeau. His lofts are so strong. It's all about kind of the spin numbers and the window numbers that he's looking to get. This one is miles in the air. It's the only way you can think about stopping it. And it's going to be a great shot. Getting better and better and better and better. Let him in. Wow. What a shot. It's just too much club for him, I think. Needs a lucky break. Helps it into the trees. Doesn't look like he got it, judging by the way the people are. He obviously has enough power to get it out of this rough. Hoping that the wind will blow it to the right, I think. Short. And that shows you how thick that lie was. Because if he can't get... It's absolutely, you could darn near eat off of it. Spun it a little too much. Kind of looked like he mishit it a little bit. The way he kind of followed through. He was just enough of an upslope. Hang on. That was left all the way. Tuggy. Two home and 37. Two under 69 in position after 18 holes. Yeah. And the good news is he didn't really have his good stuff today. If he finds it somehow for the next three days, he's going to be right there.
