A 3-foot, 11-inch putt and the slim margins that defined Bryson DeChambeau’s second U.S. Open win

Bryson DeChambeau claimed his second U.S. Open title by the narrowest of margins, holing a 3-foot, 11-inch birdie putt on the 72nd hole to win by a single stroke. The victory, his first major since the 2020 U.S. Open, was a testament to DeChambeau’s determination and resilience.
