Amid Trying to Clinch Top Spot, Bryson DeChambeau Makes a ‘Super Low’ Confession

The ultimate event of LIV Golf’s 2023 season is commencing at Royal Greens Golf & Country Club, Jeddah. The final standings will decide players’ ranking and their future there. 

The event started on October 13th, has gone through rounds 1 and 2, and will end on October 15th. Currently, Brooks Koepka leads the individual leaderboard, while Bryson DeChambeau’s team, Crushers GC, sits in first place on the team scoreboard.

LIV Golf Jeddah is the final event that will decide the rankings of the players. The league will subject the 48-player field to different paths, relegating the last 4 players while 25–45 players will face trades or releases by their team.

Every player is trying their level best to get themselves and their team higher up on the leaderboard. Similarly, Bryson DeChambeau, the captain of Crushers GC, is leading his team to the first rank and individually stands at 5.

DeChambeau’s performance on the second day was filled with birdies as he played the back nine. He finished 7 under 63 and shared what he expected and wanted to do going into round 3. “I’m just trying to go as low as possible; the wind is tricky, the greens are tricky… Another great day, but gotta shoot a super low one tomorrow to have a good chance,” Bryson said. 

If DeChambeau succeeds at positioning himself at number one by defeating Brooks Koepka, he will gain himself $4 million prize money and advance himself on the overall leaderboard, securing a spot for the 2024 season.
