Bryson DeChambeau held off on shakes and steaks to work on pitches and patience.All that work from the night before made him look like a genius come Friday.
With the wind kicking up and the temperature dropping at Winged Foot, DeChambeau was one of the very few to conquer the U.S.
Open-like conditions that finally showed up for the second round. He shot 2-under 68 to reach the halfway point at 3-under 137, one of only five players in red numbers with the afternoon starters about halfway through their rounds.As much as his eagle to end the day on the par-5 ninth, the keys to DeChambeau's success came late Thursday, when he closed down the driving range — waiting until near sunset so he could practice his wedges while the temperature was.
