U.S. Open champ Bryson DeChambeau reaches top 10 in OWGR

bryson dechambeau

Bryson DeChambeau’s victory at the U.S. Open rocketed him into the top 10 of the Official World Golf Ranking on Monday.

Despite not being able to earn world ranking points for LIV Golf events, DeChambeau made his way to No. 10 in the world after Sunday’s one-stroke victory over Rory McIlroy at Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina.

It was DeChambeau’s second major title, both coming at U.S. Opens. He had not won a major since the 2020 U.S. Open during the COVID-19 pandemic.

DeChambeau, 30, began the calendar year ranked No. 155 in the world because the LIV events that mainly comprise his schedule did not earn him world ranking points. He placed second to Xander Schauffele at last month’s PGA Championship, which sent him from No. 124 at the time to No. 35.

DeChambeau was No. 38 entering last week and leapt 28 spots to No. 10 in the OWGR, passing players like reigning Open Championship winner Brian Harman, Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama and Max Homa.

Though McIlroy was upset with his finish at the U.S. Open — he bogeyed three of the last four holes to give DeChambeau the title — he passed Schauffele for the No. 2 spot in the OWGR. Sweden’s Ludvig Aberg, who tied for 12th Sunday, is now a career-high No. 4, passing Wyndham Clark (No. 5) and Norway’s Viktor Hovland (No. 6).

France’s Matthieu Pavon jumped into the OWGR’s top 20 for the first time. He moved four spots to the No. 20 position after placing fifth at Pinehurst, Pavon’s best career finish at a major.

Tony Finau tied for third with Patrick Cantlay and jumped nine spots to No. 19 in the world rankings. Cantlay, for his part, moved one spot past LIV’s Jon Rahm of Spain for No. 8 in the world.
