Bryson DeChambeau was in fine form at LIV South Korea on Friday.

He opened up with a first-round of seven-under-par 65, and is tied for the lead with his fellow countryman Talor Gooch.

DeChambeau has been in fine form recently, but he failed to win LIV Miami, The Masters or LIV Mexico, despite being in contention heading into the final rounds at all three events.

It has been claimed that DeChambeau is far too aggressive with his shot selections on the final rounds of tournaments.

However, DeChambeau has received criticism in the past for not being aggressive enough, so he can’t really win can he!

Bryson DeChambeau has solved big problem at LIV Golf South Korea

The 31-year-old American was in imperious form with his driver once again at The Jack Nicklaus Golf Club in Incheon, South Korea on Friday.

His iron play wasn’t quite as on point as he would have liked, especially over his last few holes.

However, he putted very well indeed from inside six feet.

And Jerry Foltz, one of LIV Golf‘s leading analysts, highlighted how those short-range putts have been causing DeChambeau problems recently:

Foltz said, “It wasn’t all perfect and roses out there today but doing like he always has been doing of late and pretty much his whole career, he seems to make the most of it. He was perfect on all of those short-range putts, which have been giving him trouble the last three Sundays. Today they were not.“

If DeChambeau can now find a way of fine-tuning his iron play, he will be incredibly tough to beat heading into major season.

Bryson DeChambeau’s dream foursome…or fivesome

The 31-year-old is a real historian of the game, so it was perhaps no surprise when his dream group of playing partners didn’t feature the usual suspects.

DeChambeau avoided picking modern names, and instead stuck to legendary players of the past as well as a more obscure name.

The American also chose his beloved late father, who passed away three years ago.

He said, “Probably Hogan, Payne Stewart, Moe Norman, my Dad and me, so that’s five.“

That’s a really intriguing list of names and it actually highlights, I believe, how much DeChambeau thinks outside of the box.

He’ll be hoping to do his father proud once again this weekend with a victory at LIV South Korea. And judging by the way he played on day one, there’s every chance that he will be victorious come Sunday evening.
