Bryson DeChambeau captured his second U.S. Open on Sunday, holding off a back-nine charge from Rory McIlroy to tame a treacherous Pinehurst.
In an epic battle, DeChambeau and McIlroy went to the 18th hole tied at 6-under. McIlroy, up ahead, missed a four-foot putt for par, opening the door for DeCheambeau. Only, it took some sorcery from DeChambeau to make it happen.
