Bryson DeChambeau, the US Open leader, had a peculiar moment during the tournament when he sneaked into the woods to get stretched out by his trainer away from the prying eyes of the cameras. Despite his request for privacy, a drone managed to capture an overhead shot of the golfer and his trainer. The stretching session seemed to have a positive impact as DeChambeau went on to hit his longest drive of the day immediately after.

Following the successful drive, DeChambeau managed to sink a birdie on hole No 11 with a strong approach, maintaining his lead at Pinehurst for most of the round. The golfer, who has previously clinched a major victory at the 2020 US Open, is eyeing his second major-tournament win at the US Open.

DeChambeau’s closest competitors for the title include Rory McIlroy, Matthieu Pavon, and Patrick Cantlay. With his exceptional performance throughout the tournament, DeChambeau is poised to secure another significant victory in his career.
