Bryson DeChambeau takes out Masters frustrations by recreating shot that beat Rory McIlroy to US Open glory

Just 24 hours after his latest collapse at The Masters, Bryson DeChambeau recreated his famous shot that got one over Augusta rival Rory McIlroy.

The LIV Golf star was just two strokes behind the Northern Irishman heading into Sunday at Augusta National as the pair battled for their first green jacket.

DeChambeau had been looking to once again pip his playing partner to another Major – just as he did when he scooped his second US Open title last year by one shot.

However, the American finished with a three-over 75 to leave himself four off eventual winner McIlroy.

Back-to-back bogeys on the second and third hole were followed by a double bogey and two more drop shots on the back nine that left him in tied-fifth spot.

In the end, the California native finished well adrift of McIlroy, who himself struggled for consistency in the last 18 holes.

McIlroy had been in danger of another spectacular collapse following a two-over par back nine, before he beat Ryder Cup teammate Justin Rose in a sudden death play-off.

While it was McIlroy who had his heart broken by DeChambeu at the US Open, it was the latter this time who was left in despair.

Just a day after his Masters woe, DeChambeau, who revealed McIlroy didn’t speak to him once during the final round, was back at Pinehurst to commemorate his stunning victory at the US Open.

Back in North Carolina, DeChambeau was joined by hundreds of locals where he placed a plaque next to the greenside bunker on the 18th that was the scene of his famous shot.
