Bryson DeChambeau left the windswept links at Royal Portrush somewhat bashed up after a tough first round at the British Open and said to himself: “I want to go home.”

Bryson DeChambeau woke up Friday morning with a 7-over first round at the British Open around his neck. He knew he'd need to do something special in order to make the weekend, and he did, firing a 6-under 65 to finish the day at 1-over to make the British Open cut.

Bryson DeChambeau bounced back from an opening-round 78 to shoot 6-under 65 on Friday at Royal Portrush Golf Club and rallied to make the cut at the 2025 British Open. DeChambeau improved from seven greens in regulation to 17,

Bryson DeChambeau is the longest hitter in the field at this week's British Open, but he managed to hit the shortest shot on Day 1 at Royal Portrush.

Bryson DeChambeau is testing a prototype ball at the British Open that he claims flies straighter and spins more with wedges — but it’s not ready yet.

The early wave has the advantage. Rain has arrived at Royal Portrush, just as World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler hits the course. It's spotty around the course — it's pouring at 18, where Rory McIlroy is trying to finish — but clearly those already in the clubhouse — including leader Brian Harman — are the beneficiaries.
