SAN DIEGO – Bryson DeChambeau’s beyond-twilight range session Thursday at the U.S. Open wasn’t new. He famously searched for similar answers in the dark at last fall’s national championship, which he won.
The difference this time was that DeChambeau didn’t find the answers he was looking for. At least he didn’t find them in the Torrey Pines gloom.
“I didn't find anything,” said DeChambeau, who struggled to an opening 69. “I walked off pretty frustrated yesterday."
Instead, DeChambeau had a late dinner and tried to get some sleep before his 5:45 a.m. wake-up call, but that rest was interrupted with an epiphany.
