**U.S. Open: DeChambeau Dominates Despite Controversial Tactics**

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.
