120th US Open: First major victory for DeChambeau

The physicist, whose self-developed clubs are all the same length, celebrated a triumph with 70 strokes on the super-difficult par-274 course at the Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck/New York, six strokes ahead. Second place went to his US compatriot Matthew Wolf (280). "I've relied on science so many times and it's worked every time," DeChambeau said. "I hope I can inspire some people to say there's another way." Only DeChambeau remained under par after four rounds on the monster course, which is one of the most difficult courses in the world. Martin Kaymer also had to experience this the hard way during his first encounter. Germany's top golfer missed the cut with 147 strokes, as did US superstar Tiger Woods, who even needed three strokes more. DeChambeau wants to hit for 370 yards The 27-year-old DeChambeau, a powerhouse in a flat cap, was the only player below the course standard in the final round. With his round of 67 after an eagle on the 9th, two birdies and a bogey, he moved from second place to the top of the leaderboard. In the months without playing during the Corona break, DeChambeau gained almost ten to 109 kilograms - and that at a height of 1,85 m. Parallel to his weight, his tee length also increased. On average, the ball lands at around 310 meters, in 2019 it was 34 meters less. But that shouldn't be the end yet. DeChambeau wants to hit “360, 370 yards, maybe even further.”
