Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes tweeted “See you soon” to Bryson DeChambeau, inviting him to a round of golf after DeChambeau’s U.S. Open victory. Mahomes was one of several athletes who reacted to DeChambeau’s win on social media, including Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, who tweeted “Unreal.” DeChambeau, who has been criticized for his unconventional approach to golf, has been praised by some for revolutionizing the game. His win at the U.S. Open is sure to spark further debate about the future of golf.
Brandel Chamblee commented on the less “bravado” in professional golf today. With many older players retiring, the scene is changing with young players such as Scottie Scheffler emerging. Chamblee noted that these younger players have less cocksure attitudes both on and off the course. They are more serious about improving their skills, are more respectful of their peers, and are more focused on building a lasting legacy. According to Chamblee, this shift is due to the new generation’s upbringing, social media, and increased competition.

**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.

Golf icon Tiger Woods expressed confidence in his ability to win the U.S. Open despite recent injuries and limited playing time.
“It’s great to be back,” Woods said. “I’ve been working hard to get to this point, and I feel like I’m strong enough to win.”
Woods, a 15-time major champion, received a special exemption to compete at this year’s U.S. Open after being sidelined for much of 2022 due to injuries sustained in a car accident.
The 47-year-old Woods last won the U.S. Open in 2008, and he has a total of three titles in the tournament. He tied for 38th in his last U.S. Open appearance in 2020.
Woods said he is excited to compete at this year’s U.S. Open, which will be held at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts, from June 15-18.
In their video, titled “The bizarre contest Stevie Williams and David Feherty played with Tiger Woods,” GolfTV’s Feherty and Williams detailed the “children’s game” they played with the all-time great at Sherwood Country Club several years ago. Feherty picked a tree about 150 yards away, hit his second there, chipped on, and made a birdie. Woods and Williams elected to start short and work their way backward. Woods, using his wedge, got to within 10 feet, hit a great putt, and made eagle. Williams used a sand wedge into 20 feet before making birdie. They backed up once more before Feherty’s wayward drive ended the game. His point? Tiger was “off the charts” in every way.
