The major product of this reaction exists as two stereoisomers. Draw both isomers. Show all hydrogen atoms in the structures. Use wedge-and-dash bonds to indicate the stereochemistry. You drew (2S,3S)-2-bromo-3-methylpentan-3-ol and (2R,3R)-2-bromo-3-methylpentan-3-ol. The stereochemistry is incorrect. After the formation of a bromonium ion intermediate, water attacks it from the side opposite the C-Br bonds.
