Bryson DeChambeau’s Alien-like Technique Pays Off
Bryson DeChambeau led the charge with a quasi-albatross during the first round. After topping his drive onto the cart path, DeChambeau slammed a 3-wood 220 meters down the fairway, finishing with two putts for birdie. As he put it himself, “It was a perfect 3-wood shot from 262 yards to 8 yards.”

Files, Wedge from the Green: Par for the Course in Adelaide
The action, however, didn’t stop at DeChambeau. Thomas Pieters had the unenviable task of trying to make his putt, only to find another ball already waiting at the bottom of the hole. Later, Anirban Lahiri decided to add to the soap opera, pulling out a wedge and playing a shot straight off the green.
