Bryson DeChambeau reaches seven-under par after a back-nine birdie blitz while Danny Willett is all smiles on his return from injury
is doing the devil’s work as a LIV golfer, an exorcism might be on the agenda in the coming days. The $125m it costWere DeChambeau to continue his ascent the debate about the future of the game will doubtless coalesce around this powerful advocate for reconciliation.

The puzzled look that he has worn so often was replaced by one of utter satisfaction as he blazed through the back nine with five birdies in his closing seven holes to lead in the clubhouse by three.Another with plenty to smile about was Danny Willett, who, eight years after picking the pocket of Augusta to win the Masters, was green jacket hunting once again.
“It was kind of just get the head down and see if we can kind of just push that extra little bit these last few days and really see if we can be in a place where we feel like we’ve at least got a sniff of playing all right,” he said on the eve of the tournament. He has made the cut here only twice since. A ranking that rose to ninth with his Masters win currently stands at 260. Even before the operation to correct a long-standing shoulder injury it had fallen to 189th. Let’s just say there was a bounce about him on the first tee. Had he not been announced as a former champion few of those in attendance would have picked him out of a line.
