Welcome to GOLF.com\u2019s \u201cSeen & Heard<\/a>\u201d video series, in which we give you an inside look at golf\u2019s biggest events through the eyes and ears of our onsite crew. On deck this week: the 2024 U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2 in Pinehurst, North Carolina. Let\u2019s go!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does one put into words what it was like to witness the final holes of the 2024 U.S. Open on Sunday? GOLF’s James Colgan had a few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I cannot believe what I just saw,” he marveled. “I don’t know if I’ve ever had so much fun at a golf tournament in my entire life. That was legitimately the craziest ending to a golf tournament. I feel a sense of gratitude that I just witnessed that with my own two eyes.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Golf fans already know the “that<\/em>” Colgan is referring to: Rory McIlroy’s shocking short misses<\/a> and Bryson DeChambeau’s heroic 55-yard up-and-down<\/a> from the bunker to win the U.S. Open by one.<\/p>\n\n\n

How 19 shots and just 31 minutes decided the U.S. Open<\/a><\/blockquote>\n By:<\/span>\n \n \n Sean Zak <\/a>\n \n <\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/figcaption>\n <\/figure>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

Anyone who plays golf knows the game delivers agony and ecstasy, oftentimes in unequal measure. For McIlroy, it was a brutal defeat and yet another close call. For DeChambeau, it felt like destiny. On the 25th anniversary<\/a> of Payne Stewart’s stirring victory at Pinehurst, DeChambeau followed in the footsteps of his boyhood idol, putting on a show for the ages, and the fans embraced him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I’m just passionate,” DeChambeau said in the aftermath of his win. “I really care about doing well out here and showing the fans a side of me that was locked up for so long.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What a week, what a champion. The year’s final major, the Open Championship, can’t come soon enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
