Bryson DeChambeau Holds Three-Stroke Lead in Final Round of 2024 US Open at Pinehurst

In the final round of the 2024 U.S. Open at Pinehurst Resort in North Carolina, Bryson DeChambeau holds a three-stroke lead over Rory McIlroy, Patrick Cantlay, and Matthieu Pavon. DeChambeau's aggressive approach on the golf course has put him in a commanding position with a score of 8 under.

McIlroy, who is known for checking the leaderboard frequently, had a conservative approach on certain holes but also displayed aggression on others, resulting in a score of 4 under. Cantlay and Pavon are tied for second place at 4 under.

DeChambeau's interaction with fans by signing autographs and tossing balls into the stands has added to his popularity during the tournament. He had a slow build in this tournament, with good rounds late Thursday night and early Friday morning. DeChambeau won the US Open in 2020 at Winged Foot.

McIlroy, who is trying to end a major win drought, is looking forward to another Sunday in the mix at a major. Cantlay and Pavon are also eager for their chances on the final day.

Bryson DeChambeau teed off with a three-stroke lead in Sunday's final round of the 124th US Open at Pinehurst. He is the only player to break par in each of the first three rounds, standing at seven-under par 203.

McIlroy, Cantlay, and Pavon are among those chasing DeChambeau. McIlroy and Cantlay have a history from last year's Ryder Cup spat. Hideki Matsuyama and Ludvig Aberg are also in contention for the major title.

  • Deception (30%)
    The article contains editorializing and emotional manipulation. The author uses phrases like 'you're in now', 'it feels good', 'painful but endearing step', and 'golf magic' to manipulate the reader's emotions towards Bryson DeChambeau. The author also makes assumptions about the reader, such as 'admit it Bryson DeChambeau has won you over'. These tactics are used to create a narrative that is not based on facts but rather on emotional appeal.
    • For all they gave him, he handed plenty back.
    • It feels good, doesn't it?
    • Bryson has won you over.
  • Fallacies (80%)
    The author uses an appeal to emotion by trying to manipulate the reader's feelings towards Bryson DeChambeau. The author states 'It feels good, doesn’t it?' and 'You’re in now, almost like you never left.' This is an attempt to create a connection between the reader and DeChambeau. Additionally, the author uses inflammatory rhetoric by referring to fans who chanted for Brooks Koepka as 'icky attention' and 'volatile treatment'.

  • Bias (80%)
    The author expresses a clear preference for Bryson DeChambeau and his golf style throughout the article. The author uses language such as 'you're in now', 'seized total control of this tournament', and 'fan favorite' to demonstrate this bias.
    • Bryson has won you over.
      • But McIlroy also provided important context back then. That DeChambeau had brought a bit of the antagonism on himself.
        • DeChambeau was in the middle of that beefy boy feud with Koepka, which played out on social media but then continued as spectators chanted Brooksy or Koepka’s full name at DeChambeau during Tour events. It got under DeChambeau’s skin, even if he didn’t want to admit it.
          • For all they gave him, he handed plenty back. He signed autographs while he played the 3rd hole. He egged them on after making birdie on the 8th.
            • It matters is that he’s seized total control of this tournament.
              • They say every five years somebody’s life changes and it couldn’t be more true. I’m a completely different person than I was back at Winged Foot.

                The article contains some instances of appeals to authority and inflammatory rhetoric. However, the majority of the text is descriptive and does not contain any explicit logical fallacies. The author mentions past performances of golfers as evidence of their potential in the current tournament, which can be considered an appeal to authority if taken out of context. Additionally, there are instances where the author uses inflammatory language to describe the tension between McIlroy and Cantlay from last year's Ryder Cup. However, these instances do not significantly impact the overall content of the article and do not detract from its informational value.

They had words on the green and a confrontation in the parking lot.

                The article contains several examples of deceptive practices. The author uses emotional manipulation by describing the 'throaty screams of approval' and 'jaws dropping' for Bryson DeChambeau, which creates a sensationalist tone. The author also selectively reports details, focusing only on DeChambeau's positive moments while omitting any mention of his mistakes or struggles during the tournament. For instance, the double bogey on hole 16 is briefly mentioned but not given much attention compared to his birdies and fist-pumps. Additionally, there are no disclosed sources in the article.
