Inside Bryson DeChambeau’s US Open preparation with ‘fun side quests’ on helicopter and racing Indy500 cars

BRYSON DECHAMBEAU has prepared for his US Open defence by hitting balls on the White House lawn, racing around in an Indy 500 car, and taking a helicopter ride to collect salt!

He even took his golf clubs to the famous Indianapolis 500 racetrack – and smashed a ball a staggering 738 yards down the back stretch.

But DeChambeau is so confident his unusual build-up will pay off at Oakmont this week, that he is already targeting a historic “threepeat” at Shinneock next year.

Only seven golfers have ever won back-to-back US Opens, and the only man to win three in a row was Willie Anderson – 120 years ago.

But after taking advantage of Rory McIlroy’s putting heebie jeebies to claim the title at Pinehurst last year, DeChambeau, who also won at Winged Foot in 2020, believes his big-hitting game is perfectly suited for the US Open challenge.

He said: “I’m always chasing history. Everybody is. We’re all trying to accomplish feats that are unique or haven’t been done in a long time.

“So going back-to-back would be great. But three in a row would be an even better accomplishment. So that thought is in the back of my head.”

DeChambeau looked a vision of confidence and contentment as he treated the two million subscribers to his YouTube channel to a glimpse of his mind-boggling off-course escapades.

He took advantage of the fact that the last week’s LIV Virginia tournament was in Virginia – not far from the White House – to put in a call to President Trump, a close pal and regular playing partner.

They played 18 holes at Trump’s course in Virginia, before playing a converted par three on the White House’s south lawn.

That came hot on the heels of DeChambeau’s Indy 500 visit, where he was driven around by Andretti Global star Kyle Kirkwood at speeds of over 180 mph, before unleashing a few monster drives down the tarmac.

And the helicopter trip to the famous Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, where he also played 18 holes with a new sponsor, was another of the activities he describes as “fun side quests”.

He also shared the banter he enjoyed with President Trump, who commented: “We play golf a lot together. It’s not a very pleasant experience for me because I always consider myself a reasonably long hitter.

“My wife says, ‘Are you as long as Bryson?’ I say, ‘Yeah, sorta, pretty close’. It’s not close.”

But DeChambeau, 31, insists he has not been neglecting his golf regime.

He also squeezed in a practice round at Oakmont last week, a course where a much punier version of the game’s Incredible Bulk claimed a top twenty finish the last time it hosted the US Open, in 2016.

DeChambeau described Oakmont as “ the toughest golf course in the world”, but said he is ready for the challenge.

He explained:  “How am I preparing for it? Just like I would any other tournament.

“Just like I did last year with Pinehurst: focusing on executing the right shots, hitting the fairways, and not three-putting. That’s going to be a big deal.

“And keeping it out of the rough, which is five inches deep in places. Not much more than that. I try to keep it simple.”

DeChambeau has proved he has the game to contend regularly in the Majors, especially the ones played in America.

A missed cut at Royal Troon last year was the only time he failed to finish in the top six in the last half a dozen Majors, posting two runner-up finishes as well as his Pinehurst triumph.

It is the sort of consistency LIV rival Brooks Koepka was producing when he became the most recent golfer to successfully defend the US Open title, in 2018.

Koepka’s response if his old sparring partner matches his achievement would probably not be printable!

Eric and his wife Niamh got married back in August 2023 in a church wedding surrounded by friends and family.

The young host, who often appears on the hit morning show, has been sharing glimpses into their life since welcoming their little one.

The TV host took to Instagram today to post a funny and heartwarming moment he shared with his son.

In the clip, Eric made noises at his son and was left in stitches when the six-month-old made the same noise back at him

He wrote: “Our first conversation.”

Fans and friends all flocked to the comment section to gush over the adorable video.

Margot said: “Aww he’s adorable.”

Marie wrote: “Too cute.”

Tracey gushed: “Your son is so adorable and cute. What a beautiful moment together.”

Another added: “Brilliant.”

Eric recently opened up on his exciting future plans – and fans can’t keep up.

With over 747,000 followers on TikTok and his screen career going from strength to strength, Eric has some super exciting prospects in his sights.

The 34-year-old told VIP Magazine that he hasn’t been able to “fully commit” to Ireland AM as he has some plans coming over the summer time.

BUSY STAR

However, the social media star gushed: “I’m kind of juggling between midweek and weekends.

“I love both, it’s such a fun place to work, it’s a fun family to be a part of and they’ve been so welcoming. I’m enjoying the slots, and I’ll see where it leads.”

The funny man went on to reveal that he has a podcast coming out over the coming months.

And although we’re yet to discover the finer details, we’re sure it will be a great listen.

Beyond the podcasting world, the new dad will also be venturing into the world of writing as he’s set to release his first children’s book.

Eric, who previously worked as a special needs assistant in autism units and schools for over eight years, said the book would bring “disabilities to the mainstream in a lighthearted way for kids to understand”.

Man City ANNOUNCE £31m Rayan Ait-Nouri transfer with Pep Guardiola aiming to have new-look squad for Club World Cup

MANCHESTER CITY have announced the £31million signing of Rayan Ait-Nouri from Wolves.

The 24-year-old left-back joins on a five-year deal until 2030, after impressing at the Molineux this season.

Manchester City have announced the signing of Rayan Ait-Nouri from Wolves

City were eager for Ait-Nouri’s move to be finalised before Tuesday’s 7pm transfer deadline which will allow him to play in the Club World Cup in the USA this weekend.

His deal is worth an initial £31million, rising to a potential £36.3million.

SunSport understands that City also want AC Milan midfielder Tijjani Reijnders and Lyon star Rayan Cherki on plane to the US later this week. 

Ait-Nouri initially joined Wolves on loan from French side Angers in 2020, before signing permanently in 2021.

The 17-capped Algeria international has scored 12 goals and registered 19 assists in 157 appearances for the Old Gold.

Angers will be due around £9.7m after they negotiated a 50 per cent sell-on clause.

Ait-Nouri was so important to Wolves this season, starting 37 of their 38 Premier League matches, while scoring four goals and providing seven assists.

Three days after celebrating his 24th birthday, Ait-Nouri said: “I am incredibly happy and honoured to have joined Manchester City.

“City are one of the biggest clubs in the world and the chance to play for the club is a dream come true.

“I am also so excited about working with and learning from Pep and his coaching team and getting to train and play alongside such a world class group of players.

“Joining City is also a very proud moment for my family too. Now I can’t wait to get started and to play in front of our supporters.”

City Director of Football Hugo Viana added: “Rayan is a player that as a club we have been following closely for quite some time and we are delighted he has joined us.

“He already has extensive Premier League experience and has also demonstrated his quality at international level with Algeria.

“We feel sure that he will be an excellent addition to our squad and that working alongside Pep and his coaching staff will help develop his game even further.”

Wolves have now lost two of their best players to Manchester clubs, after striker Matheus Cunha joined Man Utd for £62.5million last week.

Old Trafford chiefs actually looked into a move for Ait-Nouri during the last two windows, before signing Patrick Dorgu in January.
