‘Sir it’s a slice’: Golf world reacts to Bryson DeChambeau’s par-3 at Oakmont ahead of the 2025 US Open

Bryson DeChambeau will be the defending champion at the 2025 US Open. It will definitely put some pressure on him, but it looks like he is working to ease the pressure. DeChambeau was recently seen practicing at the Oakmont Country Club, where the US Open is going to be held from June 12 to 15.

The Instagram page named Zire Golf kept fans updated on DeChambeau's visit to the course. The video shows DeChambeau practicing his shots and dealing with the big grass in the rough areas of the course. These long grasses surely make play tough at Oakmont. The 31-year-old golfer also highlighted this as he was tired of hitting large roughs.

In the post, Bryson DeChambeau attempted a par-3 course that spanned over 293 yards. Despite the fact that the tall grasses in the rough stopped him, the golfer maintained his dominant game and finished on equal par. DeChambeau ultimately made a birdie on the par-4 10th hole, thanks to his precise calculation and great swing.
