DeChambeau Sputters and Leads Parade of Former Champions to Miss Cut at US Open
DeChambeau shot 75 and finished one stroke outside the cut line as Brooks Koepka and Jon Rahm also missed the weekend.
On Friday, Bryson DeChambeau missed the cut at the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton, N.Y., shooting 145 to finish one shot behind the cut line of 144. The 2020 and 2024 champion leads a parade of former winners who failed to qualify for the weekend.
DeChambeau never recovered from two ugly three-putts that led to double bogeys early in Friday's round, shooting 5-over 75. Former champions Brooks Koepka and Jon Rahm also missed the cut line at 144.
Drama surrounded the cut at Shinnecock as Dylan Wu secured his spot with a 7-foot putt on the 18th hole. Harris English missed his first cut in 11 appearances at the Open, unable to convert a birdie attempt from 35 feet.
While former champions exited, 2023 champion Wyndham Clark will start Saturday with a four-shot lead at 7 under. Scottie Scheffler shot 68 to head into the weekend at 140, remaining in contention for the title.
DeChambeau has now missed the weekend at all three majors this year, signaling continued struggles at championship events. Brooks Koepka's exit snapped his streak of 11 consecutive made cuts at the U.S. Open, marking only his second missed weekend in 12 appearances.
