DALLAS — Former SMU golfer Bryson DeChambeau will try and win his second US Open championship this afternoon. He holds a three-stroke lead (7-under for the tournament) over three golfers tied for second place and will be paired with Matthieu Pavon in the final pairing that will tee off at 1:21 p.m.

However, casual golf fans may wonder why isn’t DeChambeau paired with Rory McIlroy, who is one of the three golfers tied at 4-under for the tournament. Well, that’s exactly the thought I had and began to look for the answer.

The answer is a simple one, yet finding the answer wasn’t easy. Check out today’s Just a Mustang Minute for the answer.
