Few players will have a bigger point to prove when the US Open arrives than Bryson DeChambeau.
The LIV Golf star has had a strange year. While he has won twice already, his form in the majors in 2026 has been a huge concern.
Which golf rule would you change if you had the chance?
Bryson DeChambeau capitulated late on Friday to miss the cut at The Masters back in April having gone into the week having won the previous two LIV events. He had also been in the mix to win on both of his previous two visits to Augusta National.
Unfortunately, his PGA Championship hopes were dashed even sooner. DeChambeau found himself at 10 over par at one stage at Aronimink before a late run took him slightly closer to the cut line.
Bryson DeChambeau has now made a change to his game
The worry for DeChambeau will be that he can probably not take a great deal from his form on LIV heading into the US Open.
The good news is that the 32-year-old seems to have made a smart move before the third major of the year.
Speaking to the media after his first round at LIV Golf Korea, DeChambeau claimed that he had made a change to his swing. The intention was to make the two-time US Open champion feel freer through impact.
The early results look reasonably positive, with DeChambeau tied for the lead after the opening round at the latest LIV event.
Obviously, Shinnecock Hills will be another matter altogether. But it looked to be absolutely imperative that DeChambeau changed something within his game after coming unstuck at the first two majors of the year.
Bryson DeChambeau’s hopes of a third US Open title may have been boosted
Trevor Immelman said after last year’s Masters that DeChambeau would win a major in 2025 if he could figure out his iron game, with his one-length clubs clearly causing him issues on courses where uneven lies are commonplace.
Should LIV golfers be allowed to play the Presidents Cup?
Surely it would help the Internationals close the gap
There were moments over the first few months of this season that suggested that DeChambeau had not heeded that advice. And obviously, he paid the price.
However, DeChambeau does now appear to be taking action. Whatever happens at Shinnecock next month, that does seem to be a step in the right direction.
