Bryson DeChambeau plans to DRIVE the green at Bay Hill's 555-yard par-5 hole!
We could be in store to witness something incredible from Bryson DeChambeau at the Arnold Palmer Invitational this week.
Golf fans could be in store to see something absolutely incredible on their televisions this week, as it looks likely that Bryson DeChambeau will attempt to drive the green at the 555-yard par-5 6th hole at Bay Hill.
Now I know what you're thinking, hitting a 555-yard drive simply isn't possible, but there's a twist.
Bay Hill's 6th hole is a dog-leg par-5 around a huge lake, but if DeChambeau wants to hit the green from the tee, he can attempt to drive his ball straight over the water, meaning he would need to carry the ball 340 yards if he is to reach the green.

Just last month, DeChambeau told Golf.com that should he play in this year's Arnold Palmer Invitational, then the par-5 6th is a hole where he will show just how useful his new-found power can be at times.
"If I play this year I will definitely do it. Number six at Bay Hill is one of those I've been eyeing. I think I can do some pretty cool things on it."
During a practice round ahead of this week's event, the PGA Tour knew what everyone wanted to see, so challenged DeChambeau to attempt the extraordinary shot.
"I don't know if it's doable today unfortunately, it's too into the wind," said the reigning US Open champion before attempting the shot.

Although he was unable to reach the green on that attempt, DeChambeau knew the wind wasn't in his favour, but should he step onto the 6th tee and feel the wind behind him, it's highly likely that the 27-year-old will give it his best shot.
He wouldn't be the first player to attempt it, with John Daly giving it a try back in 1998, although he ended up walking away with a shocking score of 18 for the hole.
