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.
DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka will face off against McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler in "The Match," providing McIlroy a chance for some friendly payback at Shadow Creek. This highly anticipated event promises an exciting showdown, rehashing a pivotal moment in golf history and showcasing the ongoing rivalry between these top players.
