US Open champion Bryson DeChambeau has confessed his ‘frustration and disappointment’ at not being able to represent Team USA at the Paris Olympics.

Just days after clinching his second US Open title, DeChambeau’s joy has been replaced with disappointment as he won’t be competing in the Olympics this summer. The 30-year-old seized on Rory McIlroy’s back four nightmare to secure his second major on Sunday.




However, due to DeChambeau’s ties with LIV Golf, he won’t be among the four players vying for gold in Paris. The rules stipulate that only 60 golfers can compete in the Olympic competition, with a maximum of four players per country if those stars are within the top 15 in the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR).

DeChambeau has been unable to accumulate points through LIV Golf events because the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund-backed organisation doesn’t receive any OWGR points, meaning he has only been able to ascend the rankings through the nine counting events.

Remarkably, his US Open victory catapulted the Californian from No. 38 in the rankings to No. 10, but he’s the sixth American on the list, trailing behind Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, Wyndham Clark, Collin Morikawa and Patrick Cantlay.

The golfer expressed his disappointment at not being able to participate in the Olympics on the Pat McAfee show, stating: “I would love to represent the United States. I was tough for me last time around because of Covid, it was just one of those things that happened.
