Bryson DeChambeau's "Shot of My Life" earns him honor at Pinehurst No. 2

Bryson DeChambeau's performance at the 2025 Masters did not meet the expectations of his fans. However, LIV Golf recently shared an Instagram post honoring one of DeChambeau's shots from the 2024 U.S. Open.

On April 15, the LIV Golf league shared a series of images on Instagram featuring DeChambeau. The first image featured DeChambeau holding his new plaque at Pinehurst followed by the image of his viral shot on the course. The third image is of him celebrating his shot followed by an image of him holding the silver cup. The caption of the Instagram post reads:

"One of the greatest shots in major history🙌"

"Yesterday @brysondechambeau was honored at Pinehurst No. 1 for his shot out of the 18th bunker to help aid in his win at the 2024 U.S. Open. The plaque is now placed next to the 18th bunker."

"A legacy moment solidified 🏆"

Meanwhile, at the 2025 Masters, Bryson DeChambeau entered the final round, holding high hopes to win the green jacket. He was just two shots behind McIlroy. However, he ended with a 3-over 75, tying for fifth place at 7-under par. In the final round back nine, he three-putted the 11th from 43 feet for a bogey. This was followed by missing a 13-footer to save par at the 12th and three-putting the 13th from 32 feet after hitting the par-5 hole in two.

He hit a double bogey on the 15th from a second shot that hit a tree, followed by a third shot that found the water. After the prestigious Masters event, DeChambeau is aiming for the Ryder Cup.
