It’s going to take Bryson DeChambeau a little while longer to adjust his game to his larger physique.
DeChambeau shot 5-over 77 in the second round of the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship. At 5 over through 36 holes, he finished well off the cut line.
After an erratic opening round, in which he offset four birdies with four bogeys, DeChambeau failed to circle a number in Round 2. He double-bogeyed both the par-4 ninth and par-4 11th holes, and bogeyed the par-4 14th. He parred everything else.
Following last October’s Shriners Hospitals for Children Open on the PGA Tour, DeChambeau put in motion a plan to bulk up, gaining more than 20 pounds to reach 225.
