DeChambeau defends 'skill' but loses lead despite eaglesBryson DeChambeau fired two eagles in a round of 67 on Friday at the PGA Shriners Hospitals for Children Open, then defended the skill of his long-driving style that brought a US Open title last monthLOS ANGELES - Bryson DeChambeau defended the skill of his long-driving attack style after firing two eagles on Friday but falling from the lead of the PGA Shriners Hospitals for Children Open. Sixth-ranked DeChambeau drove the green 373 yards at the par-4 seventh and holed a 26-foot eagle putt. "Some of the places he hit it, and he's cutting corners, when he's on, there's no point is there? "It's not a skill to hit the ball a long way in my opinion," he added. I still think there is a lot of skill in that."
