Former US Open Champions Bryson DeChambeau (2020) & Martin Kaymer (2014) discuss their expectations for the 2024 US Open while they prepare for LIV Houston.
it was an overwhelming feeling winning a major by eight shots um I did not expect myself to do that um I know I was playing good golf going in there I I won the the PLAYERS Championship two months before that so I knew I was playing well but then shooting 10 on the par after two rounds on that golf course you know I I almost felt a little bit embarrassed about it because two days prior the event I was asked what I believe the winning score would be and I said probably two or three overpar and then you know you shoot 10 under and you surprised yourself but obviously the last 10 years if you would have asked me at the press or would have told me at the press conference that I’m not going to win a tournament from 2014 until 2024 I would have I would have thought you crazy but this is a reality and this obviously it’s quite difficult for me to to handle that I haven’t won since then um but this is the sport and I guess this is what we try to do you know to become better and and hopefully going to going to be on top soon again so I actually played Pinehurst 2014 2013 I think right actually before the US Open with the SMU golf team might might have been 2012 I don’t know anyway it was with the college team and we um had a great time out there uh I know Bob deadmond that that owns the golf course pretty well and he’s a big suppor of SMU so we got to go out there and play and I I love the test of golf that it presented it was a lot of fun playing there um I played well that week uh that we were out the college team was out there and I’ve always had fond memories of Pinehurst and what Payne Stewart has done and um it’s it’s a special golf course and a golf course that I’ve I went out and actually played it played like three or four holes maybe a little bit more than that I think like five or six month five four or five months ago in early January um I went to see the US and talk to them for a little bit and um had a great time out there it was a awesome test of golf I know it’s not the conditions that uh will be presented next week but certainly got to see the golf course the way it looks the way it feels the way the greens uh kind of roll the slopes that are there so it was fun and I I I like that style of golf it’s an iron play golf course for sure
