Bryson DeChambeau entered the 2024 British Open at Royal Troon as one of the favorites to win the Claret Jug after winning the U.S. Open in dramatic fashion last month. But after shooting a rough 5-over 76 in Thursday's first round he will need to have a good round on Friday if he wants to make the cut and then try to contend over the weekend.
DeChambeau bogeyed the opening hole and finished the front nine with a 6-over 42. An eagle on the par-5 16th hole allowed him to play the back nine at 1-under, or things could have been even worse for him.
