Bryson DeChambeau screams on the tee in Mexico and stuns LIV Golf crowd

ripped a huge 391-yard drive en route to the lead of event in Mexico, screaming at the tee after his incredible shot. He held the sole lead at Club de Golf Chapultepec thanks to a series of bombing efforts that sent the crowd into raptures.

A perfect storm was created when DeChambeau's big-hitting was accompanied by the Mexico City altitude. On the par-four first hole, which was DeChambeau's last of the day, he unleashed a huge 391-yard drive that finished on the green and just 35 feet away from the pin.

The two-time champion was bombing drives on every par four and par five and before two-putting for an easy birdie, DeChambeau erupted at the tee as he cheered with his caddie and the crowd, starting a high-five train to take in the applause after a stunning effort.

He nailed an eagle on the very next hole, then bagged back-to-back birdies on holes three and four, before two more birdies and a bogey saw DeChambeau finish eight-under.

The American leads Cameron Smith and , who both came in seven-under, as the Mexico City course continues to provide plenty of excitement and drama.

It is the first time the breakaway series has visited the Mexican capital, playing over 7,800 feet above sea level, and the thinner air means bigger drives - music to DeChambeau's ears.

Taking to the range the previous day, the Crushers captain was seen hitting drives of 407 yards. He was joined by Phil Mickelson who told DeChambeau: "I was wondering if you could get to 400."

Then as he watched DeChambeau, the six-time major winner added with a laugh: "Yeah, that is very sexy."

The 31-year-old is gunning for his first LIV win in 2025, having lost out recently to at the , where he played alongside the winner and .

DeChambeau put himself in position to challenge for the green jacket, but struggled to keep pace with McIlroy and Justin Rose at Augusta.

"I felt in control," he said after watching McIlroy win a playoff. "What's crazy is the third hole, hit it up there to 20 feet, I'm like, okay, that's exactly the way I wanted to play the hole, and that putt, I've never seen a putt faster than that.

"Those greens got really fast. The agronomists here at Augusta National and the Masters, they know how to play complete tricks on you.

"I thought for no valid reason it went nine feet by. There's no way that putt goes that far by. I just didn't realise how firm and fast it could get out here. It's great experience. Won't let that happen again."
