This week, LIV Golf's Bryson DeChambeau is teeing it up at DLF Golf & Country Club in Gurgaon, India, for an International Series event on the Asian Tour.

In addition to DeChambeau, his Crushers teammates Paul Casey and Anirban Lahiri as well as LIVโ€™s Joaquin Niemann are playing in the event.

During the first round of the tournament, DeChambeau pulled off a spectacular shot.

On the par-5 8th hole, DeChambeau was in a fairway bunker more than 220 yards away from the green. The reigning U.S. Open champion decided to take a risky shot over water and landed it just short of the green. He then chipped in from 30 yards to make a sensational eagle.

DeChambeau got through 16 holes of his round before play was suspended due to darkness, but currently sits at 2 under, tied for fourth and only two shots back of the lead.

After play ended, Bryson continued to practice in the dark, as shared by the X account Flushing It.

DeChambeau will try to build on his strong start when play resumes in the morning.
