‘The difficulty was through the roof’: Bryson DeChambeau reflects on U.S. Open-winning bunker shot

Bryson DeChambeau has shared his thoughts on the bunker shot that helped him win the 2021 U.S. Open.

With his second shot at the par-5 13th at Torrey Pines South, DeChambeau’s ball landed in a greenside bunker. He said the rough around the bunker made it tough to get a good stance, and the 12 feet of green between his ball and the pin made the shot difficult.

Nevertheless, DeChambeau executed a perfect shot that landed inches from the hole and set up a birdie that would prove pivotal in his victory.
