The win is the fifth of DeChambeau’s career, and his fourth in the past five months, a remarkable stretch that began with a win in a playoff at the Memorial Tournament in June.
A lot of players would have been happy with the trophies, or the spoils that come with them. But what stood out to DeChambeau was executing the shots to earn the victories.
Five European Tour victories and nearly $US8 million in career earnings on the US PGA Tour make it odd to describe Francesco Molinari’s performance on Sunday at the Quicken Loans National as a breakout one.
