LIV Golf star Bryson DeChambeau is firmly in contention at the 2024 US Open after carding a one-under-par 69 on Friday.

The big-hitting American is currently in a tie for second and sits one shot back of Swede Ludvig Aberg.

DeChambeau is targeting his second US Open title after previously being crowned champion during the 2020 edition at Winged Foot.

Speaking after his round, the American suggested that his current score of four under should be enough to land his second major title.

After the conclusion of his second 18 holes, DeChambeau conducted multiple interviews and TV appearances before heading to the range to fine-tune his game.

As documented by Golf Digest’s Luke Kerr Dineen, the LIV Golf star was seen working on his driving.

“He’s working on preventing his hips from sliding too much towards the target,” Dineen wrote on X. “He says, pushing his body up towards the sky, allowing him to release his arms more and square the face easier for his power draw.”

DeChambeau is set to feature in Saturday’s final grouping alongside Aberg in what promises to be a pulsating day three at Pinehurst.

The 30-year-old has adapted well to Pinehurst’s testing conditions and avoided any significant mistakes thus far.

DeChambeau certainly deserves credit for how he’s performed in the major championships this year. And after going close at the Masters and the PGA Championship, he could go one better come Sunday evening.

It’s such a shame American crowds don’t get to see DeChambeau on a weekly basis. His popularity stateside has grown immensely in 2024, and the partisan patrons adore him.

Surely, some part of his psyche wishes he was back on the PGA Tour, competing week in and week out with vehement American support.
