You were spot on and I was dead *ss wrong

 

DeChambeau did indeed join Tiger & Rory for a walk in the park!

 

You called it?

 

Very Nicely Played Brotha?

I think his college coach in 2015 said that in 5 years Bryson would be #1 in the world or in a straightjacket

Loved the moment between Bryson and his parents. Like him or not, you’ve all just witnessed greatness. Can’t take anything away from

him with that performance. NCAA champion, Walker Cupper, US Am champion and now US Open Champion of 2020. Pretty special stuff.

Yes it's possible but only 3 times since 1989 has the Masters total under par been -5 or worse

[indianagolf2]

I called it. Matsuyama no shot on sat eve i posted it..along with patrick reed. Rory is not going to be a star multiple majors..lucky he wins 1 in next 4 years.

notable finishes; zach johnson turns in his best major performance in a long time, Zalatoris should not spend another year on the KF, i think oosthuizen is a lock to sneek in another major win before his career is over.

People claiming Bryson is on steroids have clearly never spent much time around serious lifters.

It was quite a stunning performance from Bryson and he deserved the win. What struck me as the round went on was the relative straightness of his drives...yes a few rolled into the rough but the control he has with that power could be game changing in the long term. 

 

It was made all the sweeter by Sky Sports having Paul McGinley crying into the mic about distance and the way the game's going. Not only did he fall flat every time he built up to moan about it, Ewen Murray went all in on the Bryson love and kept congratulating him. Glorious.

I spent most of the day watching football, but when I did tune in, it looked like Bryson displayed a fair amount of touch and nuance to go along with the power smash.  Good on him, he is owning his process and playing great golf.  Great win

Never said that, but nice trying. He added a lot of mass, but tons of muscle? Sure, he added muscle, but definitely more fat. Are you even familiar with tren? Probably not. Stop while you’re still behind.

Great course, but it got punked.  First time Winged Foot has been shown up like that.

So confused, 1 player under par and the course got punked? Please explain how Winged Foot got shown up?

Bruce must be having an awful time right now.  First Dustin wins the Fed-Ex cup and now Bryson wins the US Open...

@Dr. BlockThere will always be change, it's the nature of all things, including golf. BD has shown there is a different way to play the game professionally. Does it mean it will become the only way to play it? Only time will tell. 

[Hawkeye77]

Bryson drove the ball great, putted well, showed touch and finesse - it is just too convenient (and totally wrong) to suggest this guy has ever been one dimensional.  He won with an all around performance that was a huge cut above everyone else today.  Who knows where it leads, and plenty of examples of him not being the world's greatest person on or off the course, but maybe this propels him into more consistency and maybe he grows a little as well.

Agreed regarding Zalatoris.  The kid is a stud and if not for stoppage would already have his card.  Zach and Louis represented themselves well too.

 

All the talk will be about Bryson...he played amazing today.

[PeteW]

Does he get FedEx Cup points for this win? I know that the 20-21 year has started but this was a 19-20 major. 

[cardoustie]

Impressive playing
