Bryson DeChambeau just whiffed on a shot entirely at The Open Championship image

This isn't how Bryson DeChambeau drew it up.

He was already in a brutal spot at an odd angle in the rough at the No. 4 in his opening round of The Open Championship at Royal Portrush.

But then, DeChambeau came up with nothing but air.

His third shot was, well, a third stroke but not a third contact.

And even on his fourth stroke, DeChambeau hardly got the ball to go anywhere at all.

DeChambeau actually did well from there. He got up and down for a double-bogey to save 6 on a hole that could've been so much worse.

That'll probably be his only shot all weekend where he comes up with nothing but air.
