AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Augusta National Golf Club finally played like a par-67 course for 2020 U.S. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau in Thursday's opening round of the 88th Masters.
In fact, it played like a par-65 course for the captain of the LIV Golf League's Crushers GC.
DeChambeau carded a 7-under 65 on Thursday to grab a 3-stroke lead when his weather-delayed opening round ended. Playing most of his round in swirling winds, DeChambeau had birdies on each of the first three holes and added five more on the second nine.
World No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler was 1 stroke back after carding a 6-under 66.
