PGA Tour Caddie Makes Major Accusation About Bryson DeChambeau

Bryson DeChambeau, the 30-year-old former PGA star and current standout in the LIV Golf League, stole the spotlight at the 124th US Open this past weekend. The Modesto, California native narrowly clinched victory over Rory McIlroy in a dramatic finish that captivated the golf world.

The tournament reached a nail-biting climax as McIlroy missed a critical three-foot putt on the final hole, echoing a similar miss on the 16th hole. This series of unfortunate misses not only cost him the title but also led to a viral moment as McIlroy was seen watching DeChambeau’s win unfold on a TV in the recorder’s hut. For the second consecutive US Open, McIlroy found himself defeated by just one shot, a tough pill to swallow.

DeChambeau’s victory was marked by a remarkable save on the 18th hole, where he nearly holed out from a bunker, setting up a short putt for the win. However, the triumph was not without controversy. Kip Henley, a former caddie for Grayson Murray, took to social media to question the legality of DeChambeau’s putter. Henley suggested that the putter’s shaft might not comply with USGA rules, speculating that it appeared to lean too vertically, possibly violating the 10-degree rule for the shaft’s angle.

Henley’s comments sparked a playful response from PGA Tour golfer Andrew Putnam, who sarcastically suggested that the USGA should also check DeChambeau’s driver and even test his caddie, Greg Bodine, for being too composed and enjoying the moment too much during a high-pressure tournament like the US Open.

Despite the controversy, DeChambeau did not address the putter allegations in his post-tournament comments. His focus remained on celebrating his victory, which marked his second US Open title.
