Bryson DeChambeau is getting in the mix at Augusta National for the second consecutive year.

And in typical DeChambeau fashion, he’s climbing the leaderboard in a way that electrified the patrons at Augusta National.

As the two-time U.S. Open champion strode to the 4th hole, he sat at 4 under and three shots back of the lead held by Justin Rose. After a relatively poor tee shot, DeChambeau found himself in the greenside bunker at the treacherous 240-yard 4th.

DeChambeau then hit a perfect bunker shot and the ball found the bottom of the cup.

The birdie for DeChambeau vaulted him up to a share of second alongside Ludvig Aberg, three shots behind Justin Rose.

It appears that DeChambeau will once again be a part of the story at the Masters over the weekend.
