Bryson DeChambeau won his first LIV Golf individual title with a sensational 61-58 final 36-hole score at The Greenbrier.
The Crushers GC captain shot 12-under-par in the final round with 13 birdies and four pars along with one bogey.
It is the culmination of a good run of form for DeChambeau, who was runner-up to Talor Gooch at LIV Golf Valderrama last month after a T4 finish at the PGA Championship in May and a T20 at the US Open in June.
He now sits fifth in the LIV Golf League table and calls have come in from LIV fans that Bryson simply needs to be on Team USA in Rome.
“Well, I appreciate that,” DeChambeau said in response to LIV Golf’s Dom Boulet, who told the American that he deserved to be on Team USA.
“I’m playing really well. I’ve got some equipment that’s performing quite nicely off the driver, and that’s a deadly combination with my putting. So clearly I putted well, drove it well, wedged it pretty well.
“You couldn’t have written it up better than this, but if I do get a call, that would be awesome. If not, I’ll be rooting them on over in Rome.”

Zach Johnson hasn’t exactly shown himself to be a huge fan, or follower, of LIV Golf this year – after hinting in May that he didn’t even know which channel it was on – and three-time LIV winner Talor Gooch is probably ahead of Bryson in the pecking order, and even he now seems an unlikely pick for Johnson.
Once Johnson’s six automatic qualifiers are confirmed, he’ll have an extra six picks. As things stand, the front runners for those picks will be the likes of Max Homa, Jordan Spieth, Tony Finau, Cameron Young, Rickie Fowler, Sam Burns and Justin Thomas. Gooch and DeChambeau, along with Dustin Johnson who went 5/5 at Whistling Straits last time out, could find themselves being overlooked.
Realistically, Spieth, Young, Fowler, Homa and Young are all frontrunners to be on the team, meaning there could only be a couple of spots left. Johnson may also opt for Justin Thomas due to his experience and partnership with Jordan Spieth after his T12 at the Wyndham Championship showed…
