MEXICO CITY — Bryson DeChambeau remained atop the leaderboard Saturday at LIV Golf Mexico City in his first start since a disappointing finish in the Masters.
Coming off a fifth-place tie at Augusta National that saw him fade in the final round, DeChambeau followed an opening 8-under 63 with a 66 to get to 13-under 129 at Club de Golf Chapultepec.
“I’m trying to win every week,” DeChambeau said. “Sometimes I don’t bring my best game, but I’m giving it my all and attempting my best every single time I show up and put a peg in the ground. Tomorrow is going to be no different.”
The U.S. Open champion had a one-stroke lead over Cameron Smith (66) with a round left in pursuit of his his first LIV Golf victory since 2023.
“I wish I could drive the ball like him,” Smith said about the long-hitting DeChambeau. “I often wonder how much better of a golfer I would be if I could drive the ball like him.”
JoaquÃn Niemann was third at 10 under after a 64.
Jon Rahm had a 69 to get to 9 under.
