DeChambeau called Bodine out of 'retirement' last year, and the duo continues to click, capped by last weekend's U.S. Open at Pinehurst.
PINEHURST, N.C. – Greg Bodine was enjoying one of the spoils of success for a caddie, the pin flag from the 18th green, which in this case honored Payne Stewart, who 25 years ago did something dramatic—Bodine was holding the flagstick and posing for photos in the aftermath of DeChambeau’s triumph, where not long before, the golfer had won his second U.S. Open by making an improbable par from a bunker in front of the green.
They started working together last year at the LIV Golf event in Oklahoma City, which was the week prior to the PGA Championship, where DeChambeau finished fourth. Later that summer, he came from behind to win the LIV Greenbrier event—shooting a final-round 68—as well as one in Chicago before leading his LIV team to the overall title.
Bodine cited the same equipment gains that DeChambeau has noted several times, including the Krank driver he put in play just before the Greenbrier event and irons he’s been experimenting with that have more of a curved face. “I was struggling,’’ DeChambeau. “I didn't know where my game was. I had no idea what was going on. Greg was in a place where he was starting a business, Evergreen. He was in a place where he didn't know what was going to go on. Some family stuff happened. It was just a weird moment for him and for me.
