Bryson DeChambeau has had a hard time this week competing in the Farmers Insurance Open. He struggled his way thru 36 holes and eventually missed the cut after round two. Bryson looked in a lot of pain in his lower back and wrist, especially in the second round at Torrey Pines.
Meanwhile, DeChambeau decided to continue playing and complete the 36 holes. He carded -2 for the event and missed the cut by a stroke. Notably, Justin Thomas, Jon Rahm, and Adam Schenk lead the event with a score of -13. However, Bryson has missed the cut and he will get a couple of days more to recover.

The only good thing that happened to him was that he birdied the 17th and 18th holes. But with the increase in pain, his participation at the Saudi International next week could be doubtful. However, Bryson looks determined to compete and will hopefully recover well before boarding a long flight to Saudi.
