Bryson DeChambeau, Martin Kaymer atop LIV Golf Virginia

Bryson DeChambeau chipped in for an eagle and a birdie on his way to a 5-under-par 66 and a share of the first-round lead with Germany's Martin Kaymer at LIV Golf Virginia on Friday in Gainesville, Virginia.

DeChambeau shot up the leaderboard after a brief weather delay, eagling the par-5 14th and birdieing each of the next two holes at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club.

His chip at No. 14 was a soft placement next to a slope, and his ball rolled from right to left right into the cup. At the par-4 16th, he missed the green and chopped his third shot out of some thick rough, only to watch his ball head straight to the pin and disappear again.
