‘It Was Crazy..’: Bryson DeChambeau Makes a Jaw Dropping Revelation Following His First Day Heroics at the PGA Championship

Following a near two-hour frost, the 105th edition of the PGA Championship finally began on Thursday this week at the Oak Hill Country Club. The biggest names in golf descended upon the renowned course in Rochester, New York, to battle it out for the coveted Wanamaker Trophy.

However, it is LIV’s Bryson DeChambeau who holds the clubhouse lead after darkness suspended play on day 1. Following his round-one heroics, the 29-year-old offered the golf community a glimpse into what could be the reason behind his sensational outing on the greens! And surprisingly, it had nothing to do with his incredible swing!

Bryson DeChambeau reflects on his shocking transformation

In a day that saw the likes of Jon Rahm and Matt Fitzpatrick struggle, Bryson DeChambeau steadily rose to the top of the leaderboard. On a course that many have touted as being similar to Winged Foot, the turf for the golfer’s 2020 U.S. Open win, a significantly slimmer DeChambeau carded an impressive 4-under at the 70-par course!

After his incredible round, the golf pro spoke to the press, talking about his journey to date in the sport and how his insane body transformation had certainly helped him get to where he is. But what is the reason behind the LIV pro’s notable physical transformation? “Well, a lot of diet changes and eating a lot going down to 5000 calories down to 2,900, whatever it is now,” he said.

Per DeChambeau, his new weight loss regimen saw him lose all his water weight. “I lost 18 pounds in 24 days. It was crazy,” he further reflected. Last year, the golfer sat out of the PGA Championship as he recovered from surgery on his left hand and will be hoping to make up for it this time around.
