Pinehurst, N.C. • Bryson DeChambeau has been knocking on the door. On a chaotic, at times unbelievable Sunday at the U.S. Open, he found a way to barge in and once again declare himself a major champion.
Bryson DeChambeau celebrates with fans and the trophy after winning the U.S. Open golf tournament Sunday, June 16, 2024, in Pinehurst, N.C. Bryson DeChambeau has been knocking on the door. On a chaotic, at times unbelievable Sunday at the U.S. Open, he found a way to barge in and once again declare himself a major champion.
McIlroy and DeChambeau were tied on No. 18 at 6-under-par, and McIlroy had 3 feet and 9 inches for a par putt that would have led to a playoff. He missed it, the second short missed putt in his final three holes. McIlroy was shown on the NBC broadcast sitting in the scorer’s tent as DeChambeau won the golf tournament, turned and walked out. He left the golf course without talking to NBC, Golf Channel or any other assembled media.
DeChambeau began the day with a three-shot lead over McIlroy, who was tied with two others at 4-under. But that deficit became two when McIlroy birdied the first hole, and stayed that way for most of the front nine. McIlroy, who said Saturday night he felt comfortable playing in the group in front of DeChambeau, picked up a stroke on the par-3 ninth, then birdied the par-5 10th .
DeChambeau, who finished in second place at last month’s PGA Championship, was more lucky than good on Sunday, repeatedly needing a fortunate bounce and leaning on his scrambling skills over the type of “boring” golf that he used to get him to this point — find the fairway, then the middle part of the green.
DeChambeau just missed out on a playoff against the eventual champion Xander Schauffele and settled for solo second, but doubled down on his YouTube-inspired showmanship with animated fist pumps and interactions with the Valhalla crowd. At the U.S. Open, the support for DeChambeau took on a life of its own as the Dallas resident captured his second major championship on Father’s Day, two years after losing his father Jon to a battle with kidney disease at age 63.
