Bryson DeChambeau is a US Open champion for a second time by one shot after Rory McIlroy missed short putts on 16 and 18 to extend his major drought

The tightly packed cluster of names below DeChambeau and McIlroy quickly thinned, setting the stage for a two-way duel. Ludvig Aberg, the US Open debutant who led after 36 holes, made triple-bogey on the 2nd hole to effectively remove himself from contention. Matthieu Pavon’s birdie on the 3rd couldn’t cancel out bogeys on the 1st and 4th. Hideki Matsuyama opened with eight successive pars but dropped back a shot with a bogey on the 9th.
It wasn’t hard to imagine NBC’s executives and the USGA brass salivating from some climate-controlled outpost: a Rory-Bryson duel on Sunday afternoon down the back nine of the US Open on one of America’s most venerable courses. A heavyweight slugfest between the sport’s two most compelling personalities, divided by professional golf’s civil war but united in competition with a brutally difficult Pinehurst No 2 course that had left dozens of the world’s best to fly the white flag.
