Bryson DeChambeau returned to Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina on Monday for the first time since his U.S. Open triumph 10 months ago. On the 18th hole in the final round, DeChambeau hit a stellar bunker shot to a couple feet before knocking in the par putt to secure his second U.S. Open title.
His bunker shot has become one of the best memories in the history of the U.S. Golf Association's major championship, and on Monday, Pinehurst and the USGA made sure its significance will always be remembered.
Only a day after struggling in the final round of the 2025 Masters, DeChambeau put his Augusta National shortcomings behind him and was back at No. 2 for a ceremony celebrating him and his achievement last summer.
The two-time major champion spoke to Pinehurst members and local media, reminiscing on his performance that June weekend, before the USGA and Pinehurst dedicated a plaque in remembrance of his 55-yard bunker shot. DeChambeau had the honor of putting the plaque in the ground, where it will remain forever.
DeChambeau got emotional when speaking during the ceremony, saying, "It's important to celebrate the moments where you win. It's really cool being able to come back from losing the Masters, one of the biggest rounds of my life, to remembering one of the most important rounds of my life."
After the ceremony inside, DeChambeau went outside and inserted the plaque in the ground next to the greenside bunker on No. 18, then he stepped inside the sand and hit a few shots, though he couldn't quite recreate the incredible sand save he had to win his second U.S. Open.
DeChambeau's next tournament is next week, when LIV Golf heads to Club de Chapultepec for LIV Golf Mexico City.
