Bryson DeChambeau nearly pulls off upset at PLDA World Championships

Bryson DeChambeau is getting pretty good at this long drive thing.

Competing in the Professional Long Drivers Association’s World Championships for the second straight year, DeChambeau nearly pulled off a massive upset on Saturday in Mesquite, Nevada. He improved on last year’s seventh-place debut to finish runner-up to Martin Borgmeier in the Open division.

Borgmeier won with a long drive of 426 yards, 20 yards better than DeChambeau’s best total of 406. Borgmeier also hit a 415-yarder. DeChambeau found the grid three out of six times in the final after hitting a drive 407 yards to advance out of the semifinal.
