From 78 to 64: Bryson’s Weekend Comeback Fueled by the FIRE PRO TOUR

Bryson DeChambeau didn’t just rebound — he roared back at Royal Portrush.

After a challenging 78 (+7) in Round 1, Bryson came storming back with rounds of 65, 68, and a tournament-tying low round of 64 on Sunday. He climbed the leaderboard to finish T-10 at 9-under, showing the world what mental toughness, precision, and the right driver can do when it matters most.

Day 1: A Rough Start

Bryson opened his week with a frustrating 78, battling poor contact and inconsistent results off the tee. Though he still averaged around 312 yards, it was well below his usual 330+ yard average and far from his elite standard. Post-round, Bryson admitted he was mentally rattled and even confessed to feeling like quitting.

For a player known for dominating with the driver, this round was a wake-up call. But with the Krank Formula FIRE PRO TOUR Driver still in the bag, Bryson had all the tools he needed to turn things around.

Day 2: The Turning Point

Day two was a different story. Paired with links specialist Bob MacIntyre, Bryson embraced a more analytical approach to the course. He delivered a 65, bouncing back six strokes and racking up seven birdies, including clutch putts that showed confident ball-striking off the tee. His driving sharpened significantly — and the FIRE PRO TOUR Driver helped him capitalize on that regained rhythm.

His biggest single-round improvement ever, he transformed momentum and earned his spot on the weekend leaderboard.

Days 3 & 4: Full Throttle

With momentum on his side, Bryson kept the pedal down. He posted a 68 on Saturday and an electric 64 on Sunday — the lowest round of the tournament. His driving was relentless. Every swing looked more confident, more dialed-in, and more dangerous. He went from middle-of-the-pack to top-10 with sheer will and top-tier ball speed.

Across the final two rounds, he racked up 12 birdies — including seven on Sunday alone, with no bogeys — showing just how lethal he became once his driver and short game synced up.

The Krank Formula FIRE PRO TOUR Driver — the same club that helped him win the 2024 U.S. Open Championship — was once again a crucial part of his arsenal. Its Super-Hot Forged Beta Titanium face and optimized 8.5x8.5 bulge and roll gave Bryson exactly what he needed to recover lost ground and dominate the weekend.
