DeChambeau and McIlroy Relive US Open Showdown Ahead of 'The Match'

Created: JANUARY 25, 2025

This Tuesday's "LIV vs. PGA" edition of "The Match" offers a fascinating rematch between Bryson DeChambeau and Rory McIlroy, rekindling the drama of their 2024 US Open duel. DeChambeau clinched his second US Open title at Pinehurst No. 2 with a memorable bunker save on the 18th, capitalizing on McIlroy's late struggles. McIlroy recently expressed his desire to "get him back" for the US Open result, but DeChambeau playfully retorted that McIlroy was responsible for his own misfortune, drawing laughter from the crowd.

DeChambeau reflected on the victory in an earlier interview, emphasizing that while the bunker shot was iconic, his ability to recover from difficult situations throughout the tournament week ultimately secured the win. He described the competition as a distinct "LIV vs. PGA" battle. Had DeChambeau missed the crucial putt on the 18th, the tournament would have gone into a historic aggregate playoff.
