Overview
- DeChambeau posted a shot-by-shot YouTube video Saturday in which he reviewed both rounds at Shinnecock Hills and candidly traced his missed cut to swing breakdowns.
- At the U.S. Open he opened with a 70 then shot a 75 to finish five-over and miss the cut, marking his third straight missed cut in 2026 majors.
- Stat-tracking reports show he still gained off the tee but lost nearly two strokes on approach and underperformed around the greens, which erased his driving advantage.
- DeChambeau told viewers he has been working harder on his swing than in prior years and vowed to intensify practice, while public commentary continues to question whether LIV Golf and content commitments affect his focus.
- As a two-time U.S. Open champion, his slump matters for his career choices and competitive standing, and his next chance to reset is the Open Championship at Royal Birkdale in mid-July.
