Fresh off major heartbreak at the Masters, Bryson DeChambeau was honored at the site of his most recent major triumph.
While he came up short to McIlroy on Sunday at Augusta National Golf Club, it was DeChambeau who came out on top the last time the two superstars dueled down the stretch at a major championship – Thanks in large part to a bunker shot that the Crushers GC captain calls the “shot of his life.”
And now, that 55-yard shot out of the sand on the 18th hole at Pinehurst No. 2 will forever be remembered with a plaque in front of the bunker where it all went down on the 72nd hole of the 2024 U.S. Open.
The Crushers GC captain made sure to be there for the occassion, placing the plaque in the ground himself, giving a speech and even trying to re-create the shot for fans in attendance.
Today, a day after The Masters, Bryson DeChambeau visited Pinehurst to commemorate his brilliant 2024 @usopengolf victory, and place a plaque to mark the spot of his dramatic bunker shot, which @brysondech recreated as much of the Village of Pinehurst looked on. pic.twitter.com/XEOIZeLSiN
