Victorious golfer celebrates at tournament
"Yeah, 370 (yards) is about right," DeChambeau commented post-round. "The golf course is gettable, but it's diabolical. You can hit a drive down by the green, but it depends on the lie, depends on the flag."
DeChambeau leads by one stroke over Cameron Smith and Jon Rahm heading into Saturday, with Bubba Watson and Tyrrell Hatton following at five-under and four-under respectively.
Currently leading the LIV Golf Driving Distance stats at 322.6 yards, DeChambeau's performance in Mexico City demonstrates his continued dominance in power hitting at the professional level.
