Bryson DeChambeau’s SMU Mustangs performed of their first-ever School Soccer Playoff recreation Saturday afternoon in opposition to Penn State. Sadly for the defending U.S. Open champ, he didn’t get to see a lot of it earlier than it became a blowout.
Contemporary off a defeat earlier this week on the Showdown, DeChambeau — and fellow skilled golfer Harry Higgs — was among the many 1000’s of SMU alumni and donors who traveled to State School for the sport. So many, in truth, that the State School Regional Airport was closed shortly earlier than the sport and needed to divert some personal jets.
In line with Yahoo Sports activities reporter Ross Dellenger, DeChambeau was amongst a gaggle of SMU donors whose airplane was diverted to Williamsport, Penn., about 65 miles from Beaver Stadium.
Dellenger posted a photograph of a number of SMU excessive rollers, notably former SMU and NFL working again Craig James, taking a shuttle from Williamsport to the sport. DeCheambeau might be seen within the backside left simply behind SMU Board of Trustees member Invoice Armstrong, who took the picture.
The bus, seemingly well-served occupants, was as a result of arrive about an hour after the 12 p.m. ET kickoff, however — as this Penn State grad is aware of from sitting in brutal State School visitors for a lot of midday kicks — it’s seemingly the group missed a lot of the primary half.
This summer time’s U.S. Open winner and his co-SMU alums are most likely glad they didn’t have to sit down via all of that half as temperatures in Completely satisfied Valley had been within the 20s with wind chills within the low teenagers. To not point out, Penn State took a 28-0 lead after the primary half, largely credited to a few interceptions by SMU quarterback Kevin Jennings.
Nonetheless, regardless of the unfavorable end result for DeChambeau, this writer suggests he sticks round State School after the sport to benefit from the excellent Completely satisfied Valley bar scene. If he wants recs, the writer might be reached at jack.hirsh@golf.com.
