Overview
- Following Thursday's gusty opening round at Aronimink, Bryson DeChambeau shot a 6-over 76 that left him about four shots over the projected cut.
- His card included five bogeys and a double bogey at the par-3 8th, and several PGA club professionals posted lower scores than he did.
- CBS analyst Johnson Wagner said DeChambeau struggles to flight the ball down in wind and that single-length irons limit adjustments on uneven lies.
- He declined to speak with reporters and is set to try to rebound in Friday's afternoon wave, teeing off at 1:43 p.m. ET with Ludvig Åberg and Rickie Fowler.
- The rough start extends a run that includes missed cuts at the Masters and the 2025 U.S. Open, as reports of unstable LIV Golf funding and talks with PGA Tour officials add uncertainty about his future.
