The Debrief: 2020 U.S. Open Championship

Everything you need to know from last week's U.S. Open Championship.

Bryson DeChambeau tamed Winged Foot Golf Club to claim his first Major Championship.

Here, we take a look at the highlights from New York.

DeChambeau powers his way to victory

When Bryson DeChambeau reinvented his game during the coronavirus shutdown by bulking up and adding extra distance off the tee, eyebrows were raised. Could he retain his precision? Would his new formula work in Major conditions, with narrow fairways and deep rough? The answer to both appears to be a resounding yes after the 27-year-old romped to a six-shot victory, ending the week as the only player under par. “I'm not going to stop,” DeChambeau said. "We're going to be messing with some head designs and do some amazing with things with Cobra to make it feasible to hit these drives maybe 360, 370, maybe even farther. I don't know. It's a lot of validation through science, just making sure that the numbers are what they are and the result is accurate.”

Oosthuizen makes another Major impact

While DeChambeau was unstoppable, among the chasing pack South Africa's Louis Oosthuizen notched an impressive eighth top ten finish in Major Championships. The 2010 Open winner finished in third on two over par. “I think probably have to look at the finish more than anything else,” he said. “Finishing third in a Major is always great. It was going to be tough. You could see early on what Bryson and Matt (Wolff) were going to do, and Bryson is playing his own little golf course at the moment."

Tough conditions take their toll

With DeChambeau the only player in red numbers, this marked a second brutal test in a row for several European Tour members after John Catlin's win at Valderrama this month with a two over par score. Take Austria's Bernd Wiesberger, for example. A tie for 31st in Spain was followed by a share of 43rd at the year's second Major – perfectly respectable finishes which have come with a combined score of 26 over. At least he's able to see the funny side.

MacIntyre doing his bit

The European Tour's restart after the coronavirus hiatus has been anchored by the #GolfForGood initiative and Robert MacIntyre has been taking things into his own hands. The Scot attended McNeese State University before turning professional and the institution and other parts of Louisiana have recently been ravaged by the effects of Hurricane Laura. With that in mind, MacIntyre and his sponsors donated $3,500 for every birdie or better he made to the Campus Emergency Fund. Another two in the final round took the contribution to $35,000. "It's something that I have just decided to do," he said. "Two weeks before I was coming out here, I just decided we were going to do it. I got a few folk on board, my sponsors. Some folk down there in Louisiana, Lake Charles especially, haven't got much left. It's all been flattened. For me, I'm just trying to raise as much money as I can and trying to enjoy myself." Good on you, Bob.

Phil being Phil

Can't see the ball for rough and stood in a bunker. What club do you pull? Never change, Lefty.
