Bryson DeChambeau shot an ugly 78 in Round 1 of the 2025 Open Championship which included a shocking whiff in deep rough at Royal Portrush.

This isn't how Bryson DeChambeau drew it up. He was already in a brutal spot at an odd angle in the rough at the No. 4 in his opening round of The Open Championship at Royal Portrush. But then, DeChambeau came up with nothing but air. His third shot was, well, a third stroke but not a third contact.
