Bryson DeChambeau Praises Scottie Scheffler After Strong Round at The Open

Bryson DeChambeau Posts Three-Under 67 on Day One at The Open

Bryson DeChambeau has shared his delight at playing with fellow American Scottie Scheffler on day one of The Open. The duo were joined by Englishman Tyrrell Hatton, and will link up again on Friday for day two of the major championship.

What Happened on Day One?

DeChambeau posted a three-under 67 as Scheffler and Hatton finished on two-under and one-under respectively. The American's strong round has given him a solid foundation to build on for the rest of the tournament.

Why It Matters for Bryson DeChambeau

DeChambeau has been working hard to regain his form after missing the cut at all three previous majors this season. His strong start at The Open will be a welcome boost to his confidence, and he will be looking to continue his momentum on day two.

What Comes Next?

The cut will be made after day two, and DeChambeau will be hoping to make it through to the weekend. He has given fans plenty to cheer about over the years, and he will be looking to do the same at Royal Birkdale.

DeChambeau has analyzed his day, sharing his admiration for world number one Scheffler after their time together at Royal Birkdale. "Yeah, definitely satisfying," he said. "Any time you get off to a great start, it's awesome, but there's three more days, dude. There's still a lot of golf to be played."

But DeChambeau was also quick to praise his playing partner, saying: "It was fun playing with Scottie, seeing how good he strikes the ball. That's something... I've wanted to play with him for a while now. Seeing how he struck the ball today was beautiful."

And when asked if it helps to play with the best player in the world, Scheffler, he replied: "Definitely. It's a good gauge, right? It tells me kind of where my game's at. Also shows me where he's at. It's good to see it in person. You always see it on TV, but it's just a little different sometimes when you're right there."

DeChambeau has given fans plenty to cheer about over the years, with his loyal supporters overjoyed when he won the US Open in 2020 and 2024. But more recently, the LIV Golf superstar should be feeling that he has a massive point to prove, having missed the cut at all three previous majors this season.

The American is enjoying his time at The Open so far, saying: "I'm having a lot of fun. If I can keep it going and give the crowd something to cheer for on Sunday, that's all I can ask for.
