Watch as US Open champion Bryson DeChambeau nails SENSATIONAL 98-yard eagle at LIV Golf event: 'Literally jumped out of my seat'

Bryson DeChambeau is showing no signs of slowing up heading into this month’s 152nd Open Championship at Royal Troon.

After wrestling a US Open title from Rory McIlroy in June, the LIV Golf star set social media on fire Saturday with an eagle during an event in Andalucia, Spain.

And it wasn’t just any eagle.

After lining up his shot from the 14th fairway at Real Club Valderrama, the 30-year-old Californian drained an estimated 98-foot approach that hit only the pin on its descent to the bottom of the hole.

‘Oh goodness,’ the LIV Golf announcer said. ‘No messing around. Straight in. A bull’s eye for Bryson.”

It was hardly a perfect day for DeChambeau, who also had a few bogies, but the remarkable shot is just one of several from the former PGA star over the last few weeks.

DeChambeau is coming off a brilliant performance at last month’s US Open in North Carolina, where he came back from a late two-stroke deficit at Rory McIlroy bogeyed three of his final fur holes at Pinehurst.

In the end, DeChambeau would seal his second US Open title from the bunker on the 72nd hole, getting up and down in two shots to seal his second major win.

Earlier this year DeChambeau finished sixth at the Masters and second at the PGA Championship.

However, the British major has been more difficult for DeChambeau, who has only one top-10 finish at The Open Championship, which came at St. Andrews in 2022.

For all of his recent success, DeChambeau has been faced with what he describes as a $2 million extortion attempt from a ‘disgruntled’ former coach.

'He's not going to extort me for $2 million,' DeChambeau, 30, told Golfweek about his former coach, Mike Schy.

Also at issue is DeChambeau's omission of Schy's name when thanking his team and family for last month's US Open win.

'Mike's feelings got hurt,' DeChambeau's agent Brett Falkoff told Golfweek. 'That's ultimately what led to all of this.'

The feud is a major departure for the pair, who worked together until 2018. DeChambeau claims to have paid Schy $1 million for his services, and has even referred to Schy as 'a second father.' Now, though, DeChambeau says Schy is a 'disgruntled former employee.'

News of the disagreement first surfaced earlier this week when Schy announced that the Central Valley Jon DeChambeau Memorial Junior Tour would cease operations 'due to lack of funding.'

Schy then specifically named his former pupil as the culprit.

'Bryson has decided this was not a priority to him offering only to loan money to his Father's name sake,' Schy's statement read. 'We tried our best to get alternative funding for 2024 and 2025 but were unable to aquire (sic) what was needed to operate and staff the tour. We believed that we had the support needed to operate but it has fallen through.'

In response, DeChambeau told Golfweek that Schy's claim is a 'complete and utter lie.'

'We've had numerous conversations and it hasn't worked out from a business standpoint,' said DeChambeau, who had $22 million in PGA earnings before defecting to the LIV tour in 2022 for a reported $125 million.

'It's quite disappointing how he's turned this and spun this,' DeChambeau continued. 'It's a non-recourse loan that was going out. I gave him my dad's name, image and likeness for free on the assumption we'd have a good business plan and it just hasn't worked out.

'I'm going to be doing a lot for my community, just in a different fashion with a proper business plan and done correctly.'
