NEW YORK - Bryson DeChambeau took some advice from infamous Winged Foot flop Phil Mickelson about irons and wedges that just might help DeChambeau succeed at the US Open where Mickelson failed.

But the 50-year-old left-hander and five-time major winner passed along some advice to DeChambeau, who is chasing his first major title."He said when he almost won back in 2006, he had the best short game week of his life, so that's just a testament to showing that you have to have a great wedge game out here.

DeChambeau worked until darkness on Thursday on his wedges, finding them going longer than expected on day one. It was a major reason why DeChambeau was able to follow bogeys with birdies on the next hole four times in his round. The fifth time, it took him two holes to birdie after a bogey."You need momentum to keep playing well in a US Open and that's what I was able to do."
