The LIV Golf captain fell one shot short of Xander Schauffele while swashbuckling around Valhalla with seven birdies and several clutch saves including a stolen souvenir.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Bryson DeChambeau got the biggest break of the 106th PGA Championship Sunday when a drive he snapped way left on the 16th hole struck a tree and bounced immaculately into the fairway. It appeared to be a gift from the golf gods in the heat of a witheringly tense three-man battle to the wire. Consider it a fluke circumstance, the luckiest of bounces, one that DeChambeau promptly turned into a birdie.
Having been publicly shamed by DeChambeau, the loser adult actually complied. He came back the rope and handed the ball to the boy. DeChambeau emptied the tank in the Kentucky bluegrass to try to win this thing. He competed with a linebacker’s intensity and celebrated with a showman’s panache. He played inspired, spectacular golf, shooting a Sunday 64 and tying the major-championship record for lowest tournament score in relation to par at 20 below—until Schauffele’s putt fell and set a new standard.
“I shocked myself a couple times, yeah. Putted fantastic. I don't feel like I missed one big-moment putt out there. There's obviously a couple misses, but every time I needed to get up and down I got up and down, and every time I needed to make a 6-, 7-footer I did. So definitely surprised myself, impressed myself and I know I can do it again, it's just going to take some time. Got to figure some stuff out.
When DeChambeau birdied the 16th after the immaculate tree save, he was just a shot behind. After parring 17, he stepped to the 18th at Valhalla—and say what you want about this course being too easy, but the par-5 closing hole has provided an incredible amount of drama across four PGA Championships.Now here came DeChambeau, to a hole he dramatically eagled with a chip on Saturday but parred Thursday and Friday.
Not far away, DeChambeau stopped hitting balls on the range to watch Schauffele’s putt on the big screen. When it fell, DeChambeau put away his 3-wood and walked directly to the 18th green to congratulate the guy who beat him by a single agonizing stroke.
