Even the best golfers can go their entire lives without achieving a hole-in-one, but for Bryson DeChambeau, it wasn’t enough to make one: he had to do it in his Texas mansion.
For many, the feat would be unthinkable for fear of a costly window repair bill, but the two-time US Open winner completed his challenge in just over two weeks.
The 31-year-old posted videos of his attempts on social media. Starting with one shot on the first day, DeChambeau’s rule was that as each day passed, he would allow himself one more shot.
DeChambeau hit balls from a mat placed in his driveway and above his $2 million mansion that is outfitted with ceiling-high glass windows. On his 16th day of testing, after 134 attempts, the American Ryder Cup star finally found the bottom of the hole in his garden.
As the message was relayed to him via walkie-talkie, DeChambeau jumped for joy and shouted, “I can’t believe I finally did this!” You’re joking I hope?!” before collapsing to the ground in relief.

It’s been a suspenseful fortnight for those following the attempts on social media, with his first try landing just a foot from the hole and others hitting the pin and flirting with the hole.
The LIV golfer became one of the leading figures in golf content creation after launching a YouTube channel featuring Donald Trump and involving DeChambeau attempting to play golf with children’s clubs. The channel has 1.6 million subscribers and the video of the hole-in-one above his house has already reached four million views on X and more than half a million likes on Instagram.
DeChambeau had a successful year professionally, beating Rory McIlroy by one stroke to win the US Open at Pinehurst and also finishing eighth in the LIV individual rankings.
