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 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 credited a change of mindset for his stunning recovery from a dreadful start to finish the British Open at nine under par on Sunday.

He shot 78 in the opening round at Royal Portrush and looked well on the way to missing the cut in his second straight major. Instead, he flipped a switch and instead shot under par the next three days and earned himself a top-10 finish with a stellar closing 54 holes, finishing as the lowest LIV golfer on the leaderboard.

Bryson DeChambeau admitted he wanted to quit The Open after a brutal first round but bounced back with seven birdies in Round 2.

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.

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.
