Just one stroke behind the leader, Bryson DeChambeau has solidified his place at T2 after carding 4 under 136 in two rounds of the 124th U.S. Open. The LIV Golf pro has successfully kept himself in close contention for his second U.S. Open silverware and while many struggled to make the cut at Pinehurst No. 2, DeChambeau was in the zone and was rather having a blast!

The 1-time major winner made some incredible birdies and par putts with all the stress Pinehurst afflicted. At the post-match press conference, DeChambeau, as the golf entertainer he has been, was asked what about the sport or the tournament makes it entertaining for the crowd while the golfers struggle. After contemplating, the LIV Golf pro said, “You’re going to have super highs and super lows.”

Then, DeChambeau recalled Sepp Straka’s hole-in-one at the par-3 9th and described it as a “super high” moment from the second day: “It was really cool to feed off that energy.” However, the 1-time major winner then highlighted the plight of the other golfers who struggled to get a hold of Pinehurst No. 2, which a few spectators might not want to see. But for most fans, DeChambeau says, “For the fans it’s great. It’s super entertaining.”

Amidst the drama that Pinehurst is presenting for fans and golfers, DeChambeau shares his plans for the coming two days, “I’ve just got to stay patient and focus on giving yourself the best chance, best next chance to make a putt or get it up-and-down, whatever it is.” At the same time, he has a strategy for how to keep the crowd engaged and entertained while things might get challenging on the course.

Bryson DeChambeau shares tricks for fans’ entertainment

Bryson DeChambeau emerged as the fan favorite at the PGA Championship, despite Xander Schauffele taking away the title. What was the 2020 U.S. Open winner’s secret sauce for it? At the press conference, DeChambeau talked about the little things that have fans involved in his game, regardless of whatever might be the result.

While Pinehurst No. 2 challenged the field, DeChambeau focused on his game and the crowd. The 30-year-old shared what he does to excite the fans. He narrated, “When something nice happens, showing the fans a little fun, giving them a wave or pulling the hat off or tipping the cap or saying thank you, whatever it is, maybe a fist bump here or there. Just doing something to excite the crowd a bit. It’s always fun.”

It is double the fun as fans roar and cheer more after DeChambeau’s gestures, as seen in the past two days at the U.S. Open, which has been boosting the LIV pro’s energy and competitiveness at the third major. With DeChambeau expected to take the lead at Pinehurst No. 2, the crowd will go berserk to see him hoist the U.S. Open trophy again, and this time with a crowd cheering at the top of their lungs!
