Bryson DeChambeau ranked 32nd among all players at The Open Championship at Royal Portrush Golf Club in Antrim, Northern Ireland as of Saturday morning, giving himself a chance to make a late run toward the top of the leaderboard.

Golf pro DeChambeau, 31, revealed in January that he was using a portion of his fortune to buy up land in his hometown of Clovis, CA.

The two-time U.S. Open champion opened with a 78 at Royal Portrush but was 16 under the final three rounds, likely sealing a spot on the U.S. Ryder Cup team.

"I played with him a lot in college, and he was not that good, so he's figured out a lot of stuff since then," Bryson DeChambeau joked about Claret Jug-winner Scottie Scheffler.

Bryson DeChambeau admitted he wanted to quit The Open after a brutal first round but bounced back with seven birdies in Round 2.

But the bigger news came off the course. U.S. Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley confirmed to Sports Illustrated. Bradley cleared that DeChambeau will be on the team at Bethpage Black this September, even if he doesn’t finish in the top six automatic qualifiers.

Bryson DeChambeau looked like he’d played his way out of the British Open on Thursday, when he posted an opening-round 7-over 78.
