DeChambeau goes from the spotlight back to LIV with hopes of golf becoming whole
Bryson DeChambeau kept entertaining long after he won the U.S. Open
PINEHURST, N.C. (AP) — Bryson DeChambeau acted as though he didn't want this U.S. Open to end.
He watched his name being engraved on the silver trophy for the second time. He filled it with grains of sand from the bunker where he produced the most memorable shot on the 72nd hole of a U.S. Open since Tiger Woods made his putt at Torrey Pines to force a playoff.
And then he tried to share it with thousands of fans whom he entertained over four days at Pinehurst No. 2, wanting them to touch it and try to experience the joy he felt. Deep into the North Carolina night, he was still signing autographs.
The entertainment never stopped. He made a cameo when Johnson Wagner of Golf Channel was trying to replicate the shot, with DeChambeau doing the commentary and then letting Wagner hoist the trophy after hitting it close.
