Retired PGA Tour golfer Wagner, 44, was trying to recreate the shot late at night and sent his effort flying across the green in a viral social media clip.
It was then that DeChambeau appeared with the trophy in hand and explained the approach.
“This is for the US Open,” Bryson said as he stepped back to make room for Wagner.
His effort ended even closer to the pin than the one that won DeChambeau the Open.
And the champion handed over his trophy to Wagner to pose with.
“I don’t think I’ll ever win the US Open now that I’ve played in it,” Wagner joked.
“Perfect. You just needed me around,” DeChambeau said. “You did it better than I did.”
“Player B is always better than player A,” Wagner responded.
The Segment ended with Wagner, who praised DeChambeau throughout, asking him for a drink and the winner accepting.
“Bryson is such a cool guy, dude just won the US Open and is here on live TV,” commented one fan.
“What a player. 30 centimeters from the cup, that memory will be with him forever. How incredible,” added another.
“This is the best golf content I’ve seen in over 14 years of watching your stuff,” posted a third.
“It was fantastic to watch,” said a fourth.
DeChambeau has won over many fans with his approach in recent months.
And the LIV star was gracious about the victory as he expressed his sympathy for McIlroy, who was on his way to victory before missing two putts.
