Bryson Dechambeau Rallyes for 65 in the second round of the Open

Bryson Dechambeau Rallyes for 65 in the second round of the Open


Portrush, Northern Ireland – late Thursday evening, when he went behind the stands of the 18th hole and Royal Portrush, a frustrated Bryson Decimbeau only wanted to leave the open championship and go home.

The two -time US Open Champion decided to resist the urge, to pack things and to find out the major from 2026 when he apparently was a missed cut Friday in the historical Dechasmeau.

“I woke up this morning and said, 'Do you know what? I can't give up,” said Dechambeau. “I was proud of the way I struggled back.”

After a 78th first round, in which he did not make a single birdie, Dechameau improved his score with 13 strokes and shot one of the low rounds of day-to-65- 65- to jump back to 1 and to be the planned cut line.

“I really persevered some emotionally difficult moments,” said Dechameau. “And to keep me together and not get angry, beat clubs and throw things and all of what I wanted, how I was very proud of myself.”

After Dechameau was missing 28% of Fairways and 39% of the Greens in the regulation in the first round in the regulation, he met over 50% of his fairways on Friday and met all except for one of Portrus Greens in regulation.

However, Dechambeau insisted that the value between the two days was not representative of his actual game.

“I played the same way as yesterday. This is golf for you on the left,” said Decimbeau. “I did pretty much the same recordings as yesterday. I didn't feel like I played something else. Today they just got more in my way. My wedges were just a break, and that was really.

Dechambeau has to fight at the Open and recorded its only top 10 finish at the event in 2022 and with three missed cuts in seven appearances. In the past, he has admitted that the volatility of the golf on this side of the world can throw him from his game. The game of Dechambeaus was more air than on site and tried to adapt to little success.

“To be a complete golfer, you have to win here. I tried that,” he said. “Sometimes I played well when it is dry and the greens are more consistent in their jump and the greens are a little better. But when it gets as chaotic as this, the wind is definitely 18 and 18 fully freaked out if they prepare all day long for this year, they have to be a complete golfer that turns on request.”

While Dechamea is constantly joking and tinkering with his equipment, he doesn't have to open the code yet. His 65 occurred on Friday under some of the best conditions that the course saw in two days.

At the beginning of this week, Phil Mickelson said that his victory in Muirfield in 2013 was the proudest moment of his career because he had learned how to win a golf course style he didn't play.

“I think he is right,” said Dechamuhau. “For me when [winning The Open] Should ever happen in my career, it would probably also be the proudest. “
