Bryson DeChambeau is currently playing an outstanding tournament at the US Open 2024 and is in the best possible position to triumph on the final day. How good his chances of winning the major are probably depends, among other things, on whether DeChambeau gets his persistent hip problems under control. The 2020 US Open winner even received physio treatment in the woods next to the tee on the eleventh hole during his third round.
US Open 2024: DeChambeau Struggles with Hip Problems
Bryson DeChambeau made an outstanding start to the tournament at the US Open 2024 with a 67 and a 69 and is currently at the top of the leaderboard after eleven holes played. This performance is particularly impressive as the 30-year-old LIV golfer has been struggling with persistent hip problems. These apparently caused DeChambeau so much pain during Moving Day that he needed a physio session during the round. After a birdie on the tenth hole, the American underwent treatment in the woods next to the course and stretched his hip area with various exercises. The effort definitely paid off: DeChambeau recorded his next birdie on the following eleventh hole, extending his lead with seven strokes under par.

Bryson DeChambeau already won the US Open in 2020 at the Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, New York. If the 30-year-old continues to have his hip problems under control, his chances of winning the second major of his career are certainly good. Possibly a good sign: Scottie Scheffler also needed a physio on the course at the 2024 Players Championship and went on to win the prestigious tournament.
