In the end, Bryson DeChambeau played the hole that won him the U.S. Open just the way he played the 71 that came before it, and thousands that came before that: He banged his drive into the right rough. Biceps bulging, he hit two of his famous single-length irons to reach the green. He scrutinized his green book, seeming to calculate every possible angle. And then he made his putt, to complete the event at 6 under par, and he doffed his pageboy hat.
Like it or not, the most polarizing player in golf has figured out how to win majors his way.
