Bryson DeChambeau embraces the boo-boys on a wild St Andrews ride

Fireworks and a couple of large slices of luck keep big-hitting American's slim chances of landing the Claret Jug alive

From the ridiculous to the sublime, this was just another day in the life of Bryson DeChambeau. You know me - a lot of fireworks," said the big American, almost apologetically, as if the only way to get around St Andrews is nurdling it in a suit, tie and R&A blazer.

That, of course, is not really DeChambeau's style. The 28-year-old has a history of going against the grain, whether that is joining the LIV tour or going into the research and development lab to work on his latest driver amendments.
