Bryson DeChambeau loses yardage book at U.S. Open. But still finds his way
Bryson Dechambeau was forced to play the U.S. Open without his yardage book for most of the second round. The big-hitting American usually relies heavily on his detailed notes on wind direction, green contours, and distances to flags.
But after the book went missing, he had to rely on his memory and caddie’s knowledge of the Brookline course. Dechambeau started the second round bogey-bogey but recovered to shoot a 2-over 73.
“It was tough,” Dechambeau admitted. “The fairways were a little soft from the rain and I had a hard time finding my footing. But I just kept grinding,” Dechambeau said.
He was still able to provide some fireworks, hitting a 382-yard drive on the par-4 10th followed by a towering 7-iron to 15 feet for a birdie.
