Jimmy matter-of-factly asked the question seemingly everyone who\u2019d watched previously wondered about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What would<\/em> happen if he broke a window?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bryson DeChambeau<\/a>, though, had things covered. Literally. Should Jimmy thin one into<\/em> DeChambeau\u2019s home as he tried to drop a ball over<\/em> it and into a backyard hole, nets set up near the makeshift tee box would catch the stray. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n

Perplexed? That\u2019s part of the attraction here. What went down in a video released Thursday<\/a> by DeChambeau, the two-time major winner, wasn\u2019t conventional, tee-shot-to-second-shot-to-putt golf, and DeChambeau\u2019s become a bit of a star in that space, doing so on the booming YouTube medium. There, he\u2019s attempted to break 50 from the forward tees. He\u2019s offered lessons. He\u2019s tried challenges \u2014 including one recently that captured both curiosity and clicks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Could he make a hole in one over his home<\/a>? The shot was about 100 yards. The height to clear his roof was 33 feet. DeChambeau told himself he could take one swing on day one, then, if he failed, take two on day two, three on day three and so on \u2014 and on day 16, he succeeded. Millions watched. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Millions likely also wondered: How would Joe or Jane Schmo fare, though?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or Jimmy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How about for 100 grand?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DeChambeau let him try. On Thursday\u2019s video, DeChambeau was handing out cash through a sponsor for various challenges, and the last brought a man named Jimmy to his house for the attempt at the six-figure payday. He could take as many swings as he\u2019d like \u2014 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and DeChambeau thought he\u2019d do it, though it\u2019d be a marathon.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

His guess was Jimmy would need 5 hours and 43 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think there\u2019s going to be some ups and downs in this challenge for him,\u201d DeChambeau said on the video. \u201cHe\u2019s really going to struggle right off the rip. He\u2019s not going to be comfortable. He\u2019s not going to know how far to hit. What\u2019s a 95-yard shot? As we tell him where the balls are landing, where they\u2019re going, I think he\u2019s going to start getting into the flow of it. And then about three hours in, he\u2019s going to start struggling. It\u2019s going to be so much. His back is going to be hurting, everything\u2019s going to be hurting, and I think at the 5-hour, 43-minute mark or something like that, he\u2019ll finally get it done.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shot one? Off a 54-degree wedge, his ball was long. \u201cHey, I got it over the net,\u201d Jimmy said. \u201cI was pretty happy about that.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shot two? Long.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shot three? Off a 58-degree this time, his was long again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shot four? Pin high and to the right. <\/p>\n\n\n

If Bryson DeChambeau seemed to be everywhere in 2024, that\u2019s because he was<\/a><\/blockquote>\n By:<\/span>\n \n \n Alan Bastable <\/a>\n \n <\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/figcaption>\n <\/figure>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

How long is this going to go on for?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One more swing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shot five? In. Jimmy\u2019s ball dropped short of the flag and to the left of it, and it rolled in from there for the ace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A producer shouted. Bryson and Jimmy hugged. They pushed each other away. They hugged again. They pushed each other away again. Jimmy walked around. He threw his hat down. He ran to the backyard. Yup, he made it. DeChambeau did some math. He pulled out his phone and showed that the time was 10:06. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jimmy needed just six minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTook me 134 freaking balls.\u201d DeChambeau said on the video \u2014 then threw down his phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jimmy then called his wife, Kaydee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Said Jimmy: \u201cUh, we just won $100,000.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Said Kaydee: \u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another good question. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
