Bryson DeChambeau's The Open round 1 extends a unique career statistic

Bryson DeChambeau had a tough start at The Open Championship 2025. He started the game on the first tee hole on Thursday, July 17, and made par on the first three holes.

DeChambeau then struggled on the fourth and made a double bogey, followed by a bogey on the ninth. On the back nine, he made another double bogey and two more bogeys for a birdie-free round of 7-over 78.

It was just the second round in Bryson DeChambeau's career to have played a birdie-free round in the Major championships. Golf analyst Justin Ray shared the stats about DeChambeau's first round of the Open Championship on his X account with a caption that read:

"Today was just the 2nd round in Bryson DeChambeau's major championship career without a birdie. He lost more than 4 strokes to the field with his approach play in the round."

Bryson DeChambeau had an amazing performance in the first two Majors earlier this season, but then missed the cut at the US Open. At this week’s Open Championship, he has been struggling to make the cut.

The projected cutline for the event is 1-over, and the LIV golfer settled six strokes behind the score after the opening round. Christiaan Bezuidenhout, Harris English, Matt Fitzpatrick, Haotong Li, and Jacob Skov Olesen tied the lead at 4-under after the first round.
