Bryson DeChambeau started his Masters on the back nine Thursday. By the time he stepped his hulking frame onto the 13th tee of Augusta National, he’d already bombed a 327-yard 3-wood on No. 10, only to miss a 6-foot putt for birdie, hit two drives (an original and a provisional) into the woods on 11 and rimmed out a birdie putt on 12.
Seven months after the Masters was originally scheduled and a few hours after morning rain delayed things further, the DeChambeau Show was on full display, a roller-coaster ride from start.
“Definitely a little bit risky out there today,” the 27-year-old Texan said on ESPN afterward.
