Bryson DeChambeau is the kind of golfer who not only wins trophies but also wins hearts. This was evident at the PGA Championship this year. As he walked off the greens, he casually handed his golf ball to a child. When the child couldn’t catch it and it rolled away, DeChambeau came back and waited until the ball was safely in the kid’s hand. After the 2024 US Open, he has done something wholesome once again!

In the final round at Pinehurst No.2, on the 18th hole, he delivered a remarkable shot, finishing the tournament with a 1-over par final round Sunday to end at 6-under, one stroke better than Rory McIlroy. After securing the silver trophy, the golfer celebrated with his fans and some analysts at Pinehurst. Later, he was spotted with Golf Channel legend Johnson Wagner, a three-time PGA Tour winner who is now known for his humor and engaging commentary. But this time, DeChambeau held the microphone while Wagner took a shot.

@NUCLRGOLF shared a video on X capturing these moments. Later in the video, Wagner attempted to replicate DeChambeau’s remarkable shot on the 18th hole, which they dubbed “the Bryson shot of his life” to 2 feet. Surprisingly, Wagner’s shot was nearly identical, prompting excitement and celebration from DeChambeau and Wagner.

Fans appreciate Bryson DeChambeau for his gesture

One fan humorously commented, “Lol that’s awesome, put it closer than Bryson,” highlighting that although Wagner’s shot was nearly identical to DeChambeau’s, it ended up closer to the hole than the golfer’s. Meanwhile, DeChambeau’s shot was still a bit farther away compared to Wagner’s. Commenting on the accuracy of the shot and the golfer’s celebration while handing over the trophy, one fan remarked, “This is so legendary!”

Throughout all four rounds of any major tournament, the pressure was consistently high, and this occasion was no exception. As Rory McIlroy and DeChambeau vied for the lead, the tension was palpable, particularly when McIlroy made a bogey on the 18th hole. In response to these intense moments, one fan commented, “This is awesome… after every major pls,” suggesting that everyone can unwind and enjoy themselves after witnessing such intense competition.
