What a US Open Pinehurst No 2 delivered! Five under led after day one and three days later a shot better would have been enough to lift the trophy.
Bryson DeChambeau once again brought the energy and this time managed to get over the line to secure his second major.
For four days he navigated the upturn saucer greens and wiregrass shrubbery better than anyone else.
He also cemented his reputation as the ‘scientist’ by revealing he soaks his golf balls in a solution containing Epsom salts in order to ensure the golf ball is not out of balance.
The balls in question being the Titleist Pro V1x Left Dash – a ball the NCG team got their hands on in 2023 for a full product review.
Titleist featured strongly amongst the top five golfers – being the ball of choice for four out of the five.
But interestingly, none of them play the same Titleist version. In addition to Bryson’s Left Dash, the Pro V1x, Left Dot and the Pro V1 also featured.
Rory McIlroy was the only non-Titleist ball player – teeing up with the TaylorMade TP5x.
Other brands that fleetingly made it into the top five over the week included the Callaway Chrome Tour X and Srixon Z-Star XV.
