Bryson DeChambeau knows what golf fans come to see him for and its not Azalea, Jackie, Mr. Ward or any of the other clubs in his bag he assigned nicknames. It’s his driver.
So when he rolled up to the No. 13 tee on Saturday at the U.S. Open, the gallery was ready for him to pull out his marquee weapon for the 368-yard par 4.

But on second thought, that wasn’t the right move. Bryson quickly swapped out clubs before hitting his tee shot, much to the disappointment of the fans. Give DeChambeau credit, though. He hilariously acknowledge the crowd’s reaction with a simple request:
“Don’t boo me,” DeChambeau said. “I’m sorry!”

It turned out to be a good move, too. Because Bryson’s shot landed softly in a bunker 214 yards down the fairway and set up an even more stunning approach to set up a birdie look.

Perhaps the most amazing part of this hole is that Bryson missed the birdie putt. He cleaned up for par no problem and still gave everyone a show — just with a little more distance off the tee.
