While Bryson DeChambeau was climbing to the top of Saturday’s U.S. Open leader board, he also was dealing with a hip issue.
Todd Lewis, an anchor for the Golf Channel, said that DeChambeau woke up with “discomfort” in his right hip Saturday morning. Lewis said DeChambeau was taking treatment on the course. By rule, he can have two treatments during a round.
DeChambeau called for a physiotherapist as he was making the turn to No. 10 at Pinehurst Golf Club. It’s his right hip that was giving him problems.
NBC drone cameras showed the treatment as DeChambeau ducked under some trees.
DeChambeau started his Saturday at the U.S. Open at four under par. He caught fire on the fifth hole. From there he notched four birdies to take the lead. He also was animated with the gallery who followed him, engaging with fans.
In fact, if NBC hadn’t mentioned the hip issue, no one would’ve known the golfer had anything else on his mind as he aimed for his second U.S. Open title. The former SMU standout won his only major back in 2020.
