Bryson DeChambeau's words come after a consistent season by the golfer so far. His uphill battle to secure a Major win started at the Masters Tournament but the Augusta course didn't seem to favor him. He managed to finish T6.
At the PGA Championship a month later, DeChambeau missed the Wanamaker trophy by one stroke, losing to Xander Schauffele. But the golfer wasn't ready to give up. At the Pinehurst course, Bryson DeChambeau's efforts came to fruition after a head-to-head contest with Rory McIlroy.
The American savored his first Major triumph in four years with a 6-under 274. While McIlroy settled for second place, Patrick Cantlay and Tony Finau tied for third.
A look at Bryson DeChambeau's performance at the 2024 US Open
Bryson DeChambeau won his second US Open title on Sunday, having last won the Major in 2020. The 30-year-old performed marvelously right from the opening day at Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina.
DeChambeau carded four birdies and a single bogey to finish at 67 on Thursday. The next day, his form faltered a little, with the LIV Golfer dropping four bogeys along with five birdies to end the day at 69. However, he bounced back with six birdies on Saturday, replacing Ludvig Aberg atop the leaderboard and finishing at 67.
Finally, a fierce battle between DeChambeau and Rory McIlroy played out on Sunday, but the Irishman was outduelled by DeChambeau who dropped two birdies on the last nine. His round ended at 71 and his total stood at 6-under. With that, DeChambeau banked a hefty payout of $4.3 million.
Rejoicing in his victory, the American said (via The Washington Post):
“I wanted to get this one done, especially at a special place that means so much to me.”
Moreover, Bryson DeChambeau became the second-only player in the LIV fraternity to win a Major, only Brooks Koepka having done so before him.
