The U.S. Open is widely considered one of the toughest golf majors with narrow fairways, penal roughs, firm greens, and considerably tough pin spots. Keeping in mind Bryson DeChambeau's calculated and strategic approach to play, he fits in the puzzle perfectly. U.S. Open tests professional golfers physically and mentally.

With a razor-sharp margin of error, the game provides a tough contest. The Crushers GC Captain's two title wins at this major echo how he is one of the top contenders for the event. Bryson DeChambeau is known for having mental fortitude. The Saudi PIF-backed golf league recently asked fans on X (previously Twitter) about whether they think DeChambeau can pull off his third US Open title by winning in consecutive editions.

After hole 13, McIlroy had a two-stroke lead over Bryson DeChambeau. On hole 13, DeChambeau closed the gap a bit with a birdie. Even after scoring a bogey on hole 15, the Crushers GC captain kept his composure on point. However, things turned dramatic when McIlroy and DeChambeau contested on the final hole.

While playing on hole 18, DeChambeau faced a challenging situation when his shot found the bunker. Still, Bryson executed an incredible bunker shot which travelled through 54 yards, landing around four feet of the pin. The Scientist then went on to score a par, winning the U.S. Open at Pinehurst with a one-stroke lead over McIlroy.

DeChambeau's final round score was 1 over par 71, leading him to finish the 2024 U.S. Open with a total of 6 under par 274.
