On May 23, Beijing time, the putt on hole 18 finally fell into the hole because it lost a little balance. The tee off on hole 16 hit a tree and bounced back to the fairway. Cut off the green. Fist in the air, then fight with the audience.
Bryson Deschambo created a beautiful performance and won many balloons, which always brings a player some legend, and sometimes helps them to win the Grand Slam title. But when he looked at the leading list for the last time in the PGA championship on Sunday, his name was stuck in the second place.
After the most entertaining person in golf finally pushed the ball into the hole and caught the bird, he ended an exciting round every moment: 64 shots, 7 below the par, equalled the lowest shot of the day, and also put himself in a tie leading position (- 20 shots).
However, half an hour later, Zand Shaofeler caught the bird from the same angle - his putter spun halfway around the hole cup, but then fell in - breaking the tie and the 72 hole record of the Grand Slam, and finally achieving the first victory of the Grand Slam.
Bryson Deschambo did not take the new trophy of Shining when he left, but he saw the bright spot from the shining performance of Valhalla.
"I gave my all," he said. "I tried my best. I know my B state is not enough. Obviously, someone else played very well."
When warming up for a possible extended match, Bryson Deschambo put his hands on his hips, stared at the huge electronic screen near the driving range, and saw Zand Cheofophile's winning putt enter the hole. Once the ball landed, Bryson Deschamber quickly turned around and left the stage. Then he went to hole 18 and congratulated the winner.
"I really think you can win with 18 strokes," said Bryson Deschamber. "But when I saw Zande's performance, I said to myself, 'Boy, his golf is really unbelievable.'"
The 2020 US Open is still the only Grand Slam title Bryson Deschambo won, but golf fans will not forget his attack this Sunday, the joy he brought to fans, and the loss of the championship in another heart stopping game in Valhalla.
Zand - Theophile said that if the game went into the hole, he would certainly be in the lower hand.
"I really don't want to play an extra hole with Bryson," he said. "I can't have fun playing against him on the 18th hole."
The most unforgettable moments of Bryson Deschambo appeared in holes 16 and 18. On hole 16, Bryson Deschambo shouted: "Watch the ball.". At that time, his tee shot hit the woods on the left side of the fairway. But the ball hit one of the trees and bounced onto the fairway, 221 yards from the flagpole.
He took out the No. 8 iron for the second shot and hit 3 feet. He took a big step forward, waved his arm, then leaned forward, put his hands on his knees, and urged the golf ball to be as he wished. When the ball landed, it stopped and created the easiest bird push for him that day.
"I looked at the caddy Greg Boding and said, 'OK, this is the ball you need to win a Grand Slam. You have to have a balloon like this,'" said Bryson Deschamber.
But at the same time, he needs to catch a bird in the 18th hole to catch Zand - Theophile. His kick-off hit a difficult position in the bunker on the left of the fairway, and then No. 6 iron hit the first layer of grass on the left of the green.
The cut stopped 10 feet away, and the subsequent putter seemed to lack breath. But at the last turn, the ball rolled into the hole. Bryson Deschambo took the ball out of the hole cup, waved his fist into the air, and then repeatedly exchanged fists with the fans when he left the stadium and returned to the driving range.
"I thought I pushed it short like a fool," he said. "It was very lucky that it reached the hole cup. In such a grand slam, it was really ecstatic to finish so well. I am very proud of my performance."
A day ago, Bryson Deschambo also made a big play in the 18th hole. He cut the ball with No. 6 iron 10 yards outside the green, and finally he cut the ball into the hole to win the eagle. This promoted him to a distance of 2 strokes from the leader, which also indicated that his good state would burst in the last round.
Once the most controversial figure in the golf world, Bryson Deschamber has reduced "weight gain" and lowered the tone of "mad scientist", although these pushed him into the spotlight for the first time.
He also turned to LIV golf. This runner up, together with the other two top ten Grand Slam players in the past 12 months, has gradually eliminated the argument that LIV players are not competitive on the highest stage.
At the same time, he also honed his image in the pipeline - not only on the court, but also on the Internet.
In one of the biggest stages of golf, he created a much needed drama and good times when the game was at a crossroads. The best news for Bryson Deschamber and his fans is that his self-confidence is growing day by day.
"It must have surprised me and impressed me deeply. I know I can do it again," he said. "It just takes some time."
