Bryson DeChambeau clinched his second U.S. Open title at Pinehurst No. 2, thanks to a sensational bunker shot on the 18th hole, which he described as the 'shot of his life.' The victory was made possible after Rory McIlroy's missed short putts in the final round, opening the door for DeChambeau's dramatic finish. DeChambeau's win earned him $4.3 million in prize money and showcased his skill and maturity. He engaged with fans and media by recreating his iconic shot with Golf Channel analyst Johnson Wagner, further solidifying his renewed popularity. DeChambeau's approach and execution under pressure, guided by his caddie, were critical to his success. The 2024 U.S. Open featured a record purse of $21.5 million, with significant payouts for top finishers.
