$44M LIV star Bryson DeChambeau leaves fellow pro in “disbelief” following genius move in Adelaide

Abraham Ancer was amazed by an impressive shot of Bryson DeChambeau at the 2025 LIV Golf Adelaide. This week, the Saudi league players have been playing in the event, and during the second round of the tournament on February 15, DeChambeau wittily used a balcony to get the yardage.

During the press conference of the tournament, Abraham Ancer opened up about his experience playing with Bryson DeChambeau and reflected on the genius move of the 2024 US Open champion.

Speaking of DeChambeau, Ancer said (via ASAP Sports):

"I was in the middle of the fairway, and he blocked it right, and off the tee you can't really see where that would land because there's some trees -- myself and DJ, we were in disbelief like where did he find that ball. He ended up hitting it in the middle of the fairway from the bush, and I think he almost made par, which would have been insane. Then I see him in the house on the balcony. I had no idea what was going on."

During the second round of the tournament, Bryson DeChambeau, who had a net worth of $44 million via Forbes, had some struggles getting a clear view of the flag on the par-5 13th hole. To get the yardage, he climbed the balcony and then took his shot.
