DeChambeau in contention after 'beautiful' round in Tennessee

Bryson DeChambeau was delighted with his scoring if not his swing as he moved within two shots of the lead heading into the final day of the 2021 WGC-FedEx St Jude Invitational.

The American is known as something of a perfectionist, with his scientific approach to the game focusing on getting him to the highest possible level with every club in the bag.

But there are no pictures on the scorecard and after signing for a 63, which matches his lowest round on the European Tour, the Major Championship winner was happy to be at 16 under.

"It was beautiful to be able to score really well," he said. "I didn't feel like my ball striking was perfect but I got it around really well and I was very pleased with it.

If I can do that again tomorrow, I give myself a great chance to win

"It was awesome being able to strike it that close to the hole all day. 

"Didn't feel as comfortable as I would have liked with the swing but the results were there so I was very pleased with the results. 

"Honestly, if I can do that again tomorrow, I give myself a great chance to win.

"If I just stay patient, relaxed and enjoy the moment, I think I'll give myself a good opportunity tomorrow."
