Bryson DeChambeau Says He's Had Hip Injury 'For a Long Time' Amid 2024 US Open Lead

Bryson DeChambeau isn't letting an injury slow him down at the U.S. Open.

The golfer currently leads the field at Pinehurst by three strokes, and has accomplished this despite suffering from a hip injury that has been a consistent presence for him.

"Yeah, it was tougher to get through on a couple shots," DeChambeau said, per Mark Schlabach of ESPN. "It's OK. I've had it for a long time now. It's just something that popped up. I've just been pushing myself a little bit, pushing the horse a bit. Consequently, that's going to happen. But I've got a great team around me to help fix some stuff up."

The issue became noticeable when DeChambeau asked a USGA official to send for his physcal therapist when he was on the ninth hole. This was a result of tightness in his right hip, and he would get stretched out in the woods.

He is currently at seven-under and shot a 67 during Saturday's action. He is the only golfer at the tournament that has broken 70 in all three rounds and one of just eight participants who are under par heading into the final round.

He will tee off alongside Matthieu Pavon in the final group on Sunday. He will look to capture his second U.S. Open victory.
