Chamblee Slams DeChambeau: 'Did Everything But Weed Whack'
18 Jul
Summary
- DeChambeau received a two-stroke penalty for trampling fescue.
- Chamblee accused DeChambeau of excessive actions behind his ball.
- The feud between Chamblee and DeChambeau has persisted for years.
Bryson DeChambeau was assessed a two-stroke penalty at The Open after officials reviewed fan footage of him on the fifth hole. The penalty was for allegedly improving his position by trampling down thick fescue behind his ball, a decision made hours after he completed his round.
Golf Channel analyst Brandel Chamblee strongly condemned DeChambeau's actions, describing them as "silly" and stating that DeChambeau "did everything but take a weed wacker" to the tall grass. Chamblee also commented on DeChambeau's perceived "performative" behavior, including practicing late at night, suggesting it was for attention.
This incident and Chamblee's sharp criticism underscore the ongoing and intense feud between the two, which has been evident for years, particularly since DeChambeau joined LIV Golf. Chamblee has previously voiced strong opposition to DeChambeau's involvement with LIV, calling him a "puppet for a murderous dictator."
