Bryson DeChambeau: Bryson DeChambeau misses ace by just inches on one of the toughest holes at the PGA Championship 2025

Bryson DeChambeau is one of the best golfers in the world right now, especially in terms of driving distance. However, the LIV Golfer missed a hole-in-one by mere inches at the ongoing PGA Championship this week.

Playing on the par-3 17th hole on Thursday (May 15), DeChambeau almost covered the 223-yard distance in a single shot. The ball rolled down the green and stopped a few inches away from the hole. The ace golfer eventually closed it with a birdie putt.

There is a massive pond between the tee box and the par-3 17th hole, making it one of the toughest holes to play this week. It is a part of Quail Hollow's signature Green Mile three-hole closing stretch.

The PGA Championship shared a clip of DeChambeau's almost hole-in-one on their X account with the caption,
