Bryson DeChambeau Dodges Double Penalty in Wild U.S. Open Moment at Oakmont 2025

by

Bryson DeChambeau, his caddie, and a USGA rules official discuss relief options during the first round of the 2025 U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club.

The opening round of the 2025 U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club proved challenging for defending champion Bryson DeChambeau, who finished with a 3-over 73 after struggling both off the tee and on the greens.

The biggest headline? A near-rules disaster on the par-5 4th hole.

After finding a fairway bunker, Bryson’s ball rolled into a spectator crosswalk, classified as ground under repair. He picked it up for relief and began lining up a drop closer to the green. But a USGA official intervened, informing him the drop had to be taken on the tee side of the crosswalk—and that once lifted, the ball had to be dropped, not replaced.

Then came the second close call: Bryson started to place the ball instead of dropping it—an automatic two-stroke penalty had he followed through. Thankfully, the official stepped in just in time.

🔹 Two penalties avoided
🔹 Just 12 yards lost
🔹 Still walked away with par

The rest of the round saw a steady front nine followed by three bogeys on the back—highlighted by a gutsy 25-foot bogey save on the 12th.

One of the more chaotic (and rule-filled) rounds of Day 1 at Oakmont.
