Watch Bryson DeChambeau’s spectacular finish to Masters first round
Bryson DeChambeau has finished in a tie for the lead with Brooks Koepka through round one of The Masters after a spectacular finish.
DeChambeau was one-under the card as the 25-year-old hit Augusta’s famed Amen Corner. But six birdies in the closing seven holes saw DeChambeau climb the leaderboard to take a share of the lead.
And what finish it was.
DeChambeau left himself 196-yards to the pin at the par-4 18th hole at Augusta National and it did everything but go in.
