Bryson DeChambeau easily advanced to the Round of 32 on Wednesday at the Professional Long Driver’s Association World Championship.
DeChambeau won three of his five sets to finish in second place among his group of 16 competitors, with the top eight in each of the four groups moving on to Thursday.
Conditions were more favorable for DeChambeau in the afternoon in Mesquite, Nevada. He was in the final group, teeing off at 3:45 p.m. local time.
The first group off, which consisted of top-ranked Kyle Berkshire, faced 20-25 mph headwinds. By the time DeChambeau went out, the wind was a more modest 5-10 mph, varying in direction; though, it picked up to nearly 20 mph by his final set.
