Bryson DeChambeau shoots seven under par 65 to lead by one from Scottie Scheffler on storm-shortened first day at the 88th Masters.
Bryson DeChambeau leads by one from Scottie Scheffler after a storm-shortened first day at the Masters.
The five-time winner looked in good nick at one under par when darkness fell. However, having only played 25 holes in a single tournament so far this year, he will have to play 23 on Friday alone to complete rounds one and two.Relive day one as it happened New Zealand's Ryan Fox had a sensational start, shooting five under for his front nine but dropped two shots on the back nine to finish four off the lead.
While his 2022 triumph is his only major victory, he boasts top-10 finishes in nine of his past 14 appearances and last year was 18 under par in golf's biggest events - the best of any player. However, he found his form on the back nine to birdie the 12th and 14th holes and finish under par after round one for the first time since 2018.
Back then, he said that his power meant Augusta National should actually be a "par-67" course for him. However, he has never overpowered the course, his best finish being joint 21st as the best amateur in 2016.
