The 24-year-old who hails from California won $1.6 million of the total $9 million purse.

DeChambeau promised a bright future in 2015, when he won the NCAA individual title and U.S. Amateur. The back-to-back victories made him the fifth player to win both titles in the same year, joining Ryan Moore, Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson Jack Nicklaus.

During last week's playoffs, DeChambeau set a new record for The Northern Trust when held at the Ridgewood Country Club. His score of 266 bested the previous record of 270 set by Hunter Mahan in 2014.
