Bryson DeChambeau final gained a serious championship 4 years in the past, when he conquered Winged Foot’s West Course within the midst of the pandemic.
He says he’s a unique individual now, however his purpose of competing and successful majors stays the identical.
And but, forward of this week’s U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2, DeChambeau revealed his final profession purpose.
“After 20 extra years of hopefully enjoying golf, God-willing, I’m hopefully going to finish that Career Grand Slam. That’s my final purpose for myself,” DeChambeau mentioned Tuesday.
“I attempted to get that achieved at Valhalla for the second leg, however it didn’t occur. Knowing I might get the job achieved, particularly taking pictures 64 on Sunday, I gave all of it I had. I let all of it on the market. I really feel actually assured with my recreation in under-pressure conditions, which is nice.”
DeChambeau completed one stroke behind Xander Schauffele, who gained his first main on the PGA Championship this previous May. But DeChambeau nonetheless completed at 20-under par, the bottom rating of any non-winner in main championship historical past.
“I performed spectacularly that week. I scored impeccably,” DeChambeau mentioned.
“I didn’t strike it as notably effectively as I might have appreciated to, however I acquired lucky in sure conditions, and I capitalized on my placing being an enormous asset to me that week.”
DeChambeau can’t add one other leg to the Grand Slam this week, provided that he has already gained the U.S. Open, however that won’t cease him from pursuing one other main victory. Yet he acknowledges the issue that Pinehurst No. 2 presents.
“Looking ahead to a tricky take a look at of golf out right here. Pinehurst isn’t any joke,” DeChambeau added.
“This is a ball striker’s paradise. You must hit it in the course of the greens. And this can be a Boo Weekley quote, however the middle of the inexperienced by no means strikes, so I’ll attempt to concentrate on that this week.”
