After securing his first win of the season, Bryson DeChambeau remarked that his final round at the LIV Golf Greenbrier was among the best he had ever played.
DeChambeau's incredible performance on Sunday, August 6, saw him shoot a record-breaking final round of 12-under 58 to win the LIV Golf Greenbrier with a six-stroke lead over Mito Pereira. He aggregated at 23-under after 54 holes to secure his maiden win of the season.
The 29-year-old sank 13 birdies and just one bogey on the final day at the Old White at The Greenbrier. It included four back-to-back birdies twice, from holes 4 to 7 and 15 to 18.
Following his Greenbrier triumph, DeChambeau took to social media to share his emotions. He wrote that this victory had been a long time coming and was only the beginning.
DeChambeau said:
"It’s been a long time coming. This is one of the best rounds of golf I have ever played in my life. I can’t thank my team enough for sticking with me through the process. Today may have been history, but this is just the beginning. Let’s keep it going 🔥"
The win has helped DeChambeau move to fifth in the LIV Golf season standings. He had a moderate start to his 2023 season, beginning with a 24th-place finish at the LIV Golg Mayakoba. He didn't break into the top 10 of any event until LIV Golf Tulsa, the sixth event in the LIV Golf League.
Since Tulsa, DeChambeau has been pretty consistent and has finished inside the top ten in four of the past five events. He had also finished runner-up at the LIV Golf Andalucia.
The former US Open champion had a mixed season at the major tournaments. He missed the cut at the Masters but made a T4 finish at the PGA Championship. He was tied for 20th at the US Open and ended at T60 at the Open Championship.
