Bryson DeChambeau achieved a 407-yard drive during a practice session ahead of LIV Golf Mexico City. His remarkable drive drew attention from former LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman's son, Greg Norman Jr.

In the clip posted by Crushers GC on X, ahead of the drive, DeChambeau talked about aiming for 198 mph ball speed and 2000 RPM spin and targeting around 200 ball speed to see if he could gain an extra 10 yards. After crushing the drive, he said,

"Yeah, there we go. Told you. That's 2500 spin. Imagine if I had 2000 spin."

He achieved it with 198 mph and 2504 rpm spin speed. Phil Mickelson, who himself scored a 362-yard drive at the practice, remarked:

"I thought, I was wondering if you can get to 400."

Responding to him, DeChambeau said:

"Yeah, I got 400. You have to have the launch high enough though, above 15 for it to work."

Norman Jr. acknowledged the feat by commenting on the post,

"407 💪"
