Bryson DeChambeau beat Rory McIlroy to win the US Open (Image: Getty Images) Rory McIlroy is eyeing Olympic glory after his US Open nightmare. But he won't be competing against Bryson DeChambeau, who snatched the title from him at Pinehurst. The Northern Irish golf star faltered in the third major of the season with three bogeys in the final four holes, allowing DeChambeau to claim victory.
McIlroy took a three-week break from the sport to regroup and get over the disappointment dealt to him by DeChambeau. But DeChambeau is digesting a disappointment of his own as he failed to secure a spot on the US team for the upcoming Paris Olympics, due to his controversial move to the Saudi-backed LIV Golf series, which reportedly included a $125million (£96.42m) contract.
