Bryson DeChambeau has once again sparked controversy at the U.S. Open, but his on-course performance has left little room for debate. The long-hitting American has dominated the tournament, leading by a comfortable margin heading into the weekend.
DeChambeau’s controversial tactics, which include using a 48-inch driver and breaking a water hazard sprinkler, have drawn criticism from some. However, his aggressive approach has paid off, as he has consistently out-driven his opponents and put himself in favorable scoring position.
While DeChambeau’s methods may be unconventional, there is no denying his effectiveness. Through 36 holes, he has carded rounds of 67 and 66, setting a tournament scoring record. With two rounds remaining, DeChambeau appears well-positioned to claim his first U.S. Open victory.

Nelly Korda’s struggles continued at the Women’s PGA Championship as she missed the cut after carding an 81 in the second round. The 23-year-old American, who has been battling injuries this season, has now missed the cut in four of her last five starts.
Korda opened with a 72 on Thursday, but her second round was a disaster. She made seven bogeys and a double bogey to finish well outside the cutline.
“It was a tough day,” Korda said. “I just couldn’t make any putts. I’m really disappointed to miss the cut, but I’m going to try to learn from this and come back stronger.”
Korda’s missed cut is a major setback in her bid to qualify for the Tokyo Olympics. She is currently ranked 15th in the world, but only the top 15 players in the world will qualify for the Games.
