Masters 2026: Bryson DeChambeau's disastrous finish sends him packing with these other big names
DeChambeau looked safely inside the cut line before catastrophe struck on the 18th hole.
AUGUSTA, Ga. — Following a brutal opening four-over 76, Bryson DeChambeau's chances of winning the Masters were all but dashed. But the two-time U.
S. Open winner still fought to make the cut on Friday, and after 17 holes it looked like he had secured two more rounds at Augusta National, Then, catastrophe struck. DeChambeau took a wood off the 18th tee, missing the fairway into the right trees.
From there he hit a quality punch shot all the way into the front left greenside bunker. Even if he made bogey from there, he still would have been around for the weekend. He proceeded to make triple bogey, a full ejection to six over par, two shots outside of the cut line.
It started with him leaving his third in the bunker, as he attempted to carry it the perfect yardage just over the front lip, only to see it come rolling back to his feet: His fourth shot was well short of the pin and wound up rolling all the way off the front of the green. Stroke No. 5 went 12 feet past the hole and he missed the putt for double.
