Bryson DeChambeau won the 2024 US Open on Sunday, surviving a weekend of playing remarkably tough lies from the wiregrass at Pinehurst No. 2. And he made one more spectacular shot from the bunker on No. 18 to help him win the coveted title. He got up-and-down, finishing at 6-under par, one shot ahead of Rory McIlroy, who finished at 5-under.
It’s the second US Open victory for the former SMU star. It was one of the most impressive displays of scrambling seen in a major championship in quite some time, without a doubt. He did so on Father’s Day, dedicating the trophy to his father, who passed away a few years ago.
He certainly got some help from Rory McIlroy on the back nine. It was a classic battle down the stretch, with two of golf’s biggest stars battling it out down the final stretch of an incredibly demanding course. McIlroy missed two three-foot putts in the final few holes, choking away one of the biggest opportunities he’s had in a major in the past decade.
