‘I Am Certainly Not Perfect’: Bryson DeChambeau, Infamous for His Aggression, Was Once Forced to Issue an Apology After Multiple Meltdowns

It is not a secret that the American professional golfer, Bryson DeChambeau, is a talented golfer. He has won 10 championship titles worldwide, including a major tournament. However, it is not a secret either that he doesn’t go by the rules and often shows his aggression while playing golf. In fact, the ‘Mad Scientist’ of golf once had to apologize to the public for his actions at a golf tournament.

There are several golf etiquette to follow while playing a tournament. Although there are rarely any punishments for breaking them, the golf world expects players to abide by them. However, DeChambeau once broke one of them and his cool, and regretted it instantly. 

Bryson DeChambeau apologized to golf spectators for his actions

“I want to apologize to my fans, fellow players, and the staff at Chapultepec for my actions following the round yesterday,” DeChambeau said. The 28-year-old expressed his apologies a day after the camera caught him ramming his putter into a practice green while playing the 2019 WGC Mexico Championship. Notably, golf fans had a negative reaction to the incident. 

“I am an extremely passionate player,” he added. “And I am always working on ways to be better.” The 2020 US Open champion explained that he doesn’t think that he is perfect. “But I respect the grounds staff and the game of golf,” he further added. “And (I) am focused on working harder on this just like I do on my golf game.”

Notably, it was not the only time DeChambeau had displayed his aggressive nature during a golf event. Two weeks before the WGC Mexico Championship, a similar incident happened. The golfer hit a poor greenside bunker shot at the par-3 16th hole at the Genesis Open. The frustration of having a poor shot led him to swing his club in a rage and take out a chunk of turf in the face of a bunker. 

Did DeChambeau win the WGC Mexico Championship in 2019? 

The Chapultepec Golf Club in Mexico City hosted the 2019 WGC Mexico Championship. It was one of the toughest competitions of the season, considering all the top players, including Dustin Johnson, Rory McIlroy, and Justin Thomas, were there along with DeChambeau. 

Bryson DeChambeau didn’t have a good start at the competition. He finished with a 75 in the first round. The golfer scored an overall score of 6-over par and finished at the T56 position. Notably, DeChambeau has never won the WGC Mexico Championship. The closest he came to winning the title was in 2020 when he got a solo second. 

DeChambeau broke the golf etiquette at an official golf tournament. And the golfer had to apologize publicly to let the matter cool down.
