DeChambeau quickly proved his detractors wrong with a solid opening round of 69, followed by a two-under par round on Friday.
While everyone else up the top of the leaderboard were faltering, DeChambeau stayed true to his game and it paid dividends.
His driving feats might be incredible, but DeChambeau’s putter was equally impressive while his short-game in and around the greens played a huge part in putting him in a position to win.
By the time DeChambeau was walking up to the 18th tee, he was the only man under par and held a six-shot lead.
