- DeChambeau wins second US Open title by single stroke
- McIlroy left to rue missed putts as major drought goes on
Bryson DeChambeau is a US Open champion for a second time after beating Rory McIlroy by one shot and prolonging the Northern Irishman’s decade-long wait for a fifth major title by at least another month in the most agonising fashion at Pinehurst No 2.
The 30-year-old American, one of only a dozen players from the rebel LIV Golf series in the 156-player field, frittered away a three-shot overnight lead before rallying from two strokes down on a dramatic back nine, holding his nerve in a contest of extreme psychological intensity that will leave McIlroy ruing a series of unforced errors in the final reel.
