After coming off a massive win at the U.S. Open, Bryson DeChambeau has arrived in Nashville for the 9th stop in the LIV Golf League Season. In a special press conference, we heard Bryson talk about the win and the infamous shot, and we asked him about how it feels to overcome the win while staying level-headed. Below is a transcript and some clips from the press conference.

LIV Golf Bryson DeChambeau Press Conference

Q. Bryson, now that you’ve had a minute, and I mean one minute, to take a breath, can you sum up what these last three days have been like for you?

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: The last three days have been wild. Overwhelming gratitude, just a lot of thanks from everybody. The support and the care that everybody has shown me and brought to me and the love that they’ve shown me has been inspiring. It’s what keeps me going. I’ve been running on probably a cumulative total in the past three days, like maybe 12 hours of sleep, maybe. You guys are the reason why I keep going. It’s been fantastic. Just being on Jimmy Fallon, The Today Show, the Pat McAfee Show and CNBC, just everything, it’s been a wild transformation, and certainly blessed.

Q. That moment yesterday when you pulled up to the clubhouse and you had every single person from LIV Golf standing there cheering you on, what did that feel like?

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: The support is awesome. You know, it’s funny, everybody talks about LIV Golf and the team aspect and we have our own pods and whatnot. It’s exactly stuff like that. This isn’t just about team golf and having our own teams or doing our own things. We truly care about what we’re trying to provide for the game of golf. We’re moving. It’s moving in a really positive direction.

Having the support of everybody there, all the staff and the volunteers, the clubhouse employees, you name it, just everybody, the support, the full-blown support, walking out of that car and raising the trophy, it’s truly for LIV and what they’ve done for me, the chance they took on me, the chance I took on you guys. It’s a mutually beneficial relationship that I think has just been awesome. The thanks has just been out of this world. I couldn’t imagine a more awesome scenario.

Q. Mr. McAllister put together an amazing media guide this year, and he asked the question, what is your hardest golf shot. You answered it, the 60-yard bunker shot. It all came down to that. Even Jon and Tyrrell were up here just a minute ago talking about it was probably the best shot to win a major in the history of golf. What do you make of you saying that that is your hardest shot to make, and it all came down to that, and that’s how you secured this win?

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: I mean, what do you say? I don’t know. The best I can say is I practiced as a junior kid, just a little kid out there going and hitting balls in the weirdest places up in trees and bushes. I remember Tiger talking about that, how he’d just go place golf balls in random places, and I wanted to be like Tiger. What did I do? I went and threw golf balls in dirt and bad lies and bad bunker lies and long bunker shots, and I tried to do everything and anything to get that golf ball in the hole.

As much as I am a very mechanical, methodical person, there is an artistry to me that not too many people know but I hope they are starting to see, and that 60-yard bunker shot, whatever it was, when I got up there, the one thing that gave me a lot of comfort was G-Bo telling me, Bryson, I’ve seen you hit way more difficult shots than this. You’ve got this. I stepped in there and executed it.

I wanted a tap-in, but it got up to four feet, and I was ready to go nuts, and you could see me kind of get after it with G-Bo saying, “let’s go.” That was so big. But I knew I had a four-footer to make. It wasn’t just a tap-in.

The 60-yard bunker shot, that was a good call, and for it to all come together like that is, I guess, some could say fate.

Ricky Valero: Bryson, you talked about the mistakes, the adversity, even the obstacles that you’ve faced. How does it feel to win the U.S. Open, overcoming those things, but how do you keep yourself grounded within that high?

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: For me, I have to thank God. I’m a religious person, and that’s a big thing for me. Keeping myself grounded, that’s one way for sure. Having a great team around me is another, great family.

Through the adversity and struggle, having the right people around you, that’s the most important thing you can have. Whenever somebody is struggling, whoever it is, it could be someone in here today, if you’re really struggling, you’ve just got to go say what’s on your mind. Don’t be afraid. To someone that you trust and you know is going to be there for you.

That’s how I was able to get through a lot of that adversity is having the right people around me, and then staying grounded, it’s a big macro vision. It’s not just about me winning tournaments. This is about us — I say us, it’s LIV and everybody, really meaning and really trying to expand this game globally and grow the game.

There’s 700 million potential golfers, and I think right now there’s just over 100 million that are playing consistently, and we want to get that number closer to that 700 million. However we can do that, you’re going to see some really cool changes over the next couple years in regards to LIV, and I’m not going to give too much away, but there’s a really cool mission and belief that we have in what we’re going to do and what we’re going to accomplish for the game. Subtly, there’s some awesome stuff coming. That’s how I keep myself grounded and focused on what the big picture is.
