Bryson DeChambeau to Investigate Performance After LIV Golf Korea Second Round Bryson DeChambeau, the two-time U.S. Open champion, has committed to conducting an investigation into his performance following his second round at the LIV Golf Korea tournament. The 32-year-old shot rounds of 65 and 68 to trail the leader by one stroke heading into the weekend. Despite his strong showing, DeChambeau acknowledged challenges in maintaining consistency, particularly with his ball-striking. DeChambeau, who has won twice on the LIV Golf circuit this season, has struggled in major championships, missing the cut at The Masters and the PGA Championship. His recent return to form at LIV Golf Korea has been welcomed as a positive development, especially given his status as the league’s most prominent star. A strong performance in South Korea could significantly boost the tournament’s visibility. However, DeChambeau faces uncertainty regarding his future with LIV Golf. Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) has announced plans to withdraw its funding from the league by the end of the season, raising questions about the stability of the organization. Despite this, DeChambeau remains focused on his current tournament. Ahead of the LIV Golf Korea event, DeChambeau made swing adjustments, but he has not yet fully synchronized his game. At the Asiad Country Club, his ball-striking has been inconsistent, with 15 fairways hit out of 28 and 23 greens in regulation out of 36. His driving distance averages 277 yards, though he has relied heavily on 3-woods off the tee. During a media session after his second round, DeChambeau addressed his performance. While pleased with his 68, he admitted to feeling “sideways” in his play.#korea #public_investment_fund #bryson_dechambeau #liv_golf #asian_country_club
Cristiano Ronaldo to Seek Hamstring Treatment in Spain Cristiano Ronaldo, the Portugal captain and Al-Nassr forward, will travel to Spain for further treatment on a hamstring injury that has worsened beyond initial concerns. The 41-year-old, who has scored 21 goals in 22 Saudi Pro League matches this season, was substituted in the 70th minute of Al-Nassr’s 3-1 victory over Al-Fayha on Saturday. The injury occurred during the game, and he had also missed a penalty kick earlier in the match. Al-Nassr coach Jorge Jesus confirmed the severity of the injury, stating that medical tests revealed it to be more serious than initially anticipated. “Cristiano left the game with a muscle injury, and after the tests, it became clear this is a more significant issue than we expected,” Jesus said. The coach emphasized that Ronaldo will require rest and recovery time, though the team remains hopeful he will return to full fitness soon to contribute to their campaign. Ronaldo’s availability for Portugal’s upcoming friendlies against Mexico on 29 March and the United States on 1 April remains uncertain. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner, who has netted 965 career goals, has previously stated he will not retire until he reaches his 1,000th goal. The injury comes a month after Ronaldo returned to Al-Nassr following a three-game absence, during which questions about his future with the club had surfaced. Earlier this year, he had reportedly expressed dissatisfaction with the management of the club by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund. Ronaldo’s move to Al-Nassr in December 2022 followed his departure from Manchester United, which ended by mutual agreement after he criticized the club in a public interview.#saudi_pro_league #cristiano_ronaldo #jorge_jesus #al_nassr #public_investment_fund
