‘Frustrated’ Bryson DeChambeau gives his honest opinion on Oakmont as a golf course straight after playing his last hole at the PGA Championship

Bryson DeChambeau bagged yet another top-six finish in a major championship, but he will still be very disappointed that he was unable to push Scottie Scheffler harder than he did at the PGA Championship.

DeChambeau is one of only two golfers who has remained competitive in the majors since leaving the PGA Tour to join LIV Golf in 2022.

Jon Rahm is the other, and the Spaniard actually had a real chance to win the PGA Championship on the final day at Quail Hollow, before falling short in the end just like the 31-year-old American did.

However, both LIV golfers will now be looking forward to next month, when the US Open heads to Oakmont up in Pennsylvania.

DeChambeau has been a breath of fresh air at the PGA Championship this week, both on and off the course.

He has proven to be a real class act, what with his willingness to speak to the media after some really poor finishes.

The two-time US Open winner now has six top-six finishes in majors since the start of the 2023 season.

Could he make it three US Open wins at Oakmont next month though?

Bryson DeChambeau gives opinion on Oakmont straight after the PGA Championship

Just after The Masters finished, DeChambeau criticised Rory McIlroy for not speaking to him during the final round.

He received huge criticism for that, but I tell you what, give me DeChambeau’s attitude over McIlroy’s every single day of the week.

He’ll now be hoping to take his positive mental attitude into Oakmont next month.

But what does the 31-year-old really think of one of the most challenging golf courses in America?

DeChambeau spoke to Sky Sports in the UK immediately after his round, and suggested that he is well suited to the test that awaits him up in Pennsylvania in June.

He said, “I felt like I executed a lot of the shots very close to my lines. 18 was a perfect example. Hit a nice draw, the wind dies and it doesn’t push it back in the fairway, goes in the first cut of a massive side hill slope. I am trying to get it up there as close as I can to hole out and I felt like that was happening the whole week. There was never really a shot where I hit it and I was like that’s a terrible shot. It’s just frustrating all in all. I am down, a little frustrated but this will only add fuel to the fire.

“I like Oakmont a lot. I played well there in 2016 when I had just turned professional. Qualified as an amateur and then again as a professional, it was that weird time when you could not turn professional before that tournament. I am looking forward to getting back there, it’s a bomber’s paradise so hopefully I can drive it well again and putt well and give myself a good chance.“

DeChambeau is clearly revved up and ready to go ahead of the US Open next month.

Bryson DeChambeau has added superpower to his game aside from distance off the tee

DeChambeau is well-renowned for his prodigious length off the tee.

However, his remarkable accuracy, given the ball speed he generates, really is quite astounding.

Here are his numbers from LIV this season:

DeChambeau may not have won at the PGA Championship this week, but he’s certainly trending in the right direction ahead of the US Open.

And his new-found accuracy, as well as his unrivalled length of course, will undoubtedly stand him in really good stead at Oakmont.
