TEveryone agrees that the outcome of the 124º US Open was one of the most exciting in recent years. Suspense until the last blow and a broken heart, that of Rory McIlroyone of the best players of the last 15 years, who he let a victory that he already savored slip away in the final four holes. Even the NBC commentator, Brandel Chambleewho seemed to be a supporter of the Noirish, defected: “I don’t remember a player of greater quality who has become so small in a big moment in the final stretch like Rory”.
The victory Pinehurst it was for Bryson DeChambeauwho was part of the thriller until he hit a perfect shot from the bunker that put him on a plate his second US Open. He even took a boat with sand of this trap that he picked up with the same winner’s cup. The ‘Scientist’, the player who once opted to become the ‘Hulk’ of golf -he gained more than 10 kg of muscle until injuries made him give up this path- and who threatened to use a 48-inch driver to reach more distance, thus extending the American streak in the ‘majors’.
The USA has had six consecutive victories in the majors: Brooks Koepka (PGA 2023), Wyndham Clark (US Open 2023), Brian Harman (British 2023), Scottie Scheffler (Masters 2024), Xander Schauffele (PGA 2024) and Bryson DeChambeau (US Open 2024). The United States has not had a streak like this since 1974 a 1977, although in that case 13 consecutive wins were achieved. By country, the USA is at 285; Scotland 55; 36 England; South Africa 22; Australia 18; Spain 10; Jersey 9.
My mission is to continue expanding golf, making it grow globally and nationally. Youtube has really helped me achieve some of that.
Furthermore, it must be added that This is the second victory of a LIV player in a major (Koepka won the 2023 PGA), precisely by someone who has completely changed his media image through his YouTube channelin which it will surely multiply its number of 715,000 subscribers. “My mission is to continue to expand golf, grow it globally and nationally. YouTube has really helped me achieve some of that. It’s an incredible platform to show who I really am”.
The Golf Scientist
The golf YouTuber, let’s remember that he is still also the ‘Scientist’ (studied Physics). During this US Open he revealed in the press room that this aspect is still valid: “I put my golf balls in Epsom salt. Basically, we float the balls in a solution to make sure they are not out of balance”. Bryson thus checks that the weight of the ball is centered so that bad trajectories are not generated when hitting.
