Bryson DeChambeau has bold LIV Golf prediction – ‘we’re just too good’

Bryson DeChambeau made LIV Golf history at Greenbrier last campaign, shooting the league’s first ever sub-60 round with an incredible 12-under-par 58 on the way to victory

Bryson DeChambeau may be five shots off the pace at LIV Golf Greenbrier heading into the weekend, but if history is anything to go by, the Crushers captain remains well in the hunt.

DeChambeau carded a two-under-par 68 in Friday’s opening round, having made five birdies and three bogeys across his first 18 holes of the week. Despite finding himself in the red, he has work to do ahead of round two, with Jason Kokrak and Talor Gooch leading the way at the top at seven-under.

DeChambeau headed into this week’s event as defending champion, having clinched his first LIV Golf title at the West Virginia course, winning by five shots ahead of Mito Pereira last campaign.

It was how the the U.S. Open champion got his hands on the prize though that was so impressive, having carded a record-breaking 12-under 58 in last year’s final round – LIV’s first-ever round below 60. Whilst he finds himself sat in a tie for 24th this time around, his past experiences around the Greenbrier track.

On the week of his victory 12 months ago, DeChambeau found himself in a similar position, sitting tied 25th after 18 holes in 2023. He also started his week with a two-under 68, before carding a seven-under 61 a day later, breaking 60 24 hours later in the final round of the tournament.
