Bryson DeChambeau won the U.S. Open, powering past the field to claim his first major victory
For years, Bryson DeChambeau has been the curiosity of the golf world. He’s the player at the cutting edge of the sport by studying analytics and bombing the ball but trudges around the course in a flat cap that was fashionable around a century ago.On a day when Winged Foot continued to ravage the best golfers on the planet, DeChambeau’s strength conquered it and delivered the 27-year-old American his first major victory.
The win wasn’t just a crowning moment for one of the game’s rising stars. It was a validation of the new-age and big-swinging approach that has swept through the sport and the golfer who has taken it to extremes. And DeChambeau did it at a venue seemingly designed to prevent just that. Winged Foot’s West Course, in Mamaroneck, N.Y., entered this U.S. Open with a history as one of the sport’s most daunting tracks. It lived up to that throughout the tournament. Winged Foot’s fairways are narrow, its rough is thick and its greens are harrowing. All of its exceptional nuances should punish golfers who value power over precision.
