Colourful golf innovator Bryson DeChambeau has paid an emotional tribute to two late and great heroes after pulling off a pulsating US Open victory in North Carolina.
Proving much more than big-hitting, DeChambeau fashioned "the shot of my life" out of a bunker to deny superstar Rory McIlroy an elusive first major championship in a decade with an electrifying winning par at the last hole.
"Oh man, can you believe it?," the American screamed in ecstasy after cashing in on two jaw-dropping missed putts and three late bogeys from McIlroy to claim his second Open title on Sunday.
