#Bryson DeChambeau climbs leaderboard in Round 2

It played like a par-67 for Bryson DeChambeau on Friday.

The long-hitting DeChambeau fought his way back into Masters contention by firing off a 5-under-par 67 at Augusta. He now sits at 1-under overall and six shots back of leader Justin Rose.

After the first round, DeChambeau sat 11 strokes behind Rose.

Dechambeau finished with a flourish, birdieing four of the final six holes. That included an impressive recovery on the final hole after he hit his drive way right off the tee.

Before last year’s COVID-delayed Masters in November and fresh off a US Open victory, DeChambeau boasted that Augusta would play more like a par 67 with its reachable par 5s..

Six months ago, he struggled in the opening round and truly never got back into contention. Now he has a chance to backup his boast if he could put together two more solid rounds behind Friday’s comeback.
