CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Bryson DeChambeau had one word to describe his runner-up finish Sunday at the PGA Championship, calling it “baffling.”
The power hitter and LIV Golf League star also seemed thrilled to get out of Charlotte and as far away from Quail Hollow Club’s closing three holes as he could.
“The Green Mile did it to me yesterday and kind of did it to me again today — and that’s golf, man,” DeChambeau said, referring to the 16th, 17th and 18th holes by their nickname. “I’ve got to be more precise and fix what I can fix to make myself more consistent and get up there, the likes of what Scottie (Scheffler) is doing right now.”
DeChambeau played the final three holes at Quail Hollow at 4 over par for the weekend, and tied for second with Harris English and Davis Riley with a 72-hole score of 6-under 278, five shots behind Scheffler, who became a three-time major champion, having also won the Masters in 2022 and 2024.
DeChambeau called the closing stretch at Quail Hollow one of the toughest he has played.
