Bryson DeChambeau bowed out in the final after making the last eight of the Professional Longest Drive Association World Championship.

The 28-year-old American was eliminated with a top distance of 391 yards, although did manage a ball speed of 218 miles per hour in Nevada.

Compatriot Kyle Berkshire won the event with a 422-yard drive.

DeChambeau had survived three days of elimination rounds to make the final eight competitors from a field of 128.

The 2020 US Open winner secured a final place after hitting a 416-yard drive, just a yard short of his monster effort in last week’s Ryder Cup.
