Golf Superstar Bryson DeChambeau Attempts to Break Course Records at Two Maine Golf Courses

It's not every day that one of the best golfers in the world visits Maine to take on a couple of the state's most challenging courses.

What Pro Golfer Recently Played in Maine?

But that's exactly what happened recently when both Sunday River and Sugarloaf Golf Clubs welcomed professional golfer and popular YouTube star Bryson DeChambeau. The two-time U.S. Open champion decided to take on these challenging courses and see if he could break a few course records. And the cool part about it? He posted videos of his rounds on his popular YouTube channel.

For those who have played these courses, you know exactly how beautiful and challenging they are. Both courses are carved right into Western and Northwestern Maine's iconic countryside, with views that some could only dream about.

How Challenging are Sunday River and Sugarloaf Golf Courses to Play?

Both tracks are also incredibly difficult, with regulars always recommending that visitors bring plenty of golf balls! They feature gnarly elevation changes, funky undulations, narrow fairways, and challenging greens. Plus, the mountain winds can pick up at any time.

However, we're talking about one of the greatest golfers of his generation, so he definitely tore it up, right? Well, let's talk about that.

DeChambeau took on both courses at pretty much the best time possible, when the fall foliage was peaking and the courses were enjoying some fine fall weather. As much of a star as he is, the courses certainly looked spectacular in the videos and stole a bit of the spotlight.

I'm sure he would say otherwise, but overall, he played well. Considering it was his first time at both courses, DeChambeau put up a heck of a fight, launching massive drives, showing off a decent short game, and putting well on greens he had never read before.

While birdies were hard to come by at times, he also wasn't hurting himself with any particularly high scores. We're talking about two very consistent rounds that were quite respectable.

The rounds are all part of his series in which he visits public courses across America in an attempt to break their records. Needless to say, showing up at Sunday River or Sugarloaf isn't exactly like showing up at your average public municipal course.

While the golf was fun to watch, the highlight might have been him rolling into a gas station in Western Maine at around 2 a.m. Imagine working a shift that night, and in walks a two-time major champion! That's just crazy.

So, now to the big question: Did he break either course record?

Well, you'll just have to watch his videos to find out!

(No. No, he didn't.)
