"You've got to do everything well," - Bryson DeChambeau reflects on his first round at the Masters.
At the post-round interview, Bryson DeChambeau said it was great to get off the hot start and the first three birdies settled the nerves.
"I knew it was going to be a tough day today with the wind and even tomorrow," he stated. "So a lot of patience is required around this golf course and making sure you're just stroking on your line, putting it good, hitting good iron shots and driving it well."
"In order to win major championships, you've got to -- especially out here, you've got to do everything well," DeChambeau continued.
The 30-year-old golfer is looking to win his second major championship title. He has previously won the 2020 US Open. His record at the Augusta National hasn't been great so far as he has yet to make a top-20 finish here in seven appearances. However, this time he would like to capitalize on the solid start of the week.
