Bryson DeChambeau opened with a 7-under 65 to take the early lead in the Masters on Thursday. It was some long-awaited validation for the once-brash, always-outspoken player, who once proclaimed his power had rendered Augusta National a par-67 layout rather than par 72.

The comment came off as arrogance run amok, and DeChambeau got some comeuppance when he tied for 34th that year.“For me,” DeChambeau said, “I have a level of respect for this golf course that’s a little bit different than a couple years ago, and clearly today was a great test of golf, and I was able to conquer a very difficult golf course today.
“The thing about Bryson — people don’t talk about it — he’s always been one of the best putters in the world,” explained Gary Woodland, who played with him Thursday. “When he drives it like he did today — I mean, he drove it really good — and he makes putts, he’s obviously very good. It was a clinic. It was impressive. He didn’t get out of position hardly at all.”
“Look, how do we make this work for both sides? How do we make this work for the fans?” DeChambeau asked. “I personally think that we could figure that out quickly if we just sit down and hash it out for a week.”
