AUSTIN, Texas – In his first competitive round in nearly two months Bryson DeChambeau admitted he was rusty on Day 1 at the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play. He also proved to himself that after being sidelined with multiple injuries, he can still play golf.
“I know I can play golf. That's first and foremost. I don't have to one-hand it all day,” said DeChambeau, who tied his match against Richard Bland.
DeChambeau hadn’t played a competitive event since he withdrew from the Saudi International in early February with a fractured hamate bone in his left hand. He also revealed on Tuesday at Austin Country Club that he has a torn labrum in his left hip.
