BRYSON DECHAMBEAU of the United States shot a final-round 67 to cruise to a six-shot win at the U.S. Open and capture his first major title. With a final-round, 3-under-par 67 — he was the only player to break par in the last round — DeChambeau outmuscled bruising Winged Foot and toppled Matthew Wolff by six shots. Despite hitting just 23 of 56 fairways, DeChambeau matched or broke par in every round, with his 69-68-70-67 leaving him the lone player in the red at 6-under 274. “As difficult as this golf course was presented, I played it beautifully,” DeChambeau said. “Even through the rough, I was still able to manage my game and hit it to correct sides of the greens and kept plugging away. My putting was immaculate today.” (SD-Agencies) |
