Watch: Bryson DeChambeau released a video to prove he can duck under a rope without being beheaded

Bryson DeChambeau was nearly beheaded by a gallery rope. Now, he’s released a video to show he can duck one.

Bryson DeChambeau is known for putting out the occasional questionable/outrageous video. His latest, however, takes the cake.

During the final round of LIV Golf Chicago, DeChambeau was dominated by a gallery rope. He fell to one knee and reacted like he was just hit over the middle by a linebacker.

As you’d expect, social media had a field day with it.

Now, nine days later, DeChambeau has put out a video to show that he can successfully go under a gallery rope without being beheaded.

It’s a tough watch.

If you’re going to laugh at yourself, might be best to not wait an entire week.

DeChambeau is competing in the PLDA World Championships in Mesquite, Nevada, this week.

LIV Golf returns next week in Bangkok, October 7-9.

World No. 3 Cameron Smith leads by two heading into Sunday at LIV Chicago

Cam Smith is searching for his first LIV win in just his second start.

Cameron Smith made his LIV Golf debut in Boston a few weeks ago, eventually tying for fourth. He’s 18 holes away from winning his first event on the Saudi-backed circuit just outside of Chicago at Rich Harvest Farms.

The Australian’s lone bogey of the day came at the par-5 11th but five birdies scattered throughout the rest of his card had him signing for a second-round 4-under 68 after opening the event with a 66. He’s 10 under and leads by two.

Smith’s last worldwide win came at the 150th Open Championship.

LIV Chicago: Leaderboard

Three shots behind him is Dustin Johnson, who stumbled to a 2-over 74 after firing a first-round 9-under 63 Friday. A bogey at No. 3 and a double at No. 4 put him behind the eight ball and he didn’t do enough down the stretch to make up for the lost strokes.

If Johnson comes from behind Sunday to win, he’ll be the first multiple-time winner on the LIV Golf Series.

Peter Uihlein is tied with Johnson at 7 under, while Laurie Canter and Charl Schwartzel are tied for fourth at 6 under.

If you’re attending the event in the Windy City on Sunday and want to give back, LIV is donating $1000 to charity for every fan who receives Smith’s mullet haircut.

On the team side, the 4 Aces GC leads Punch by one shot, with Smash GC lurking two shots back.

This story was corrected to reflect Cameron Smith’s lead.
