Fans react to viral Bryson DeChambeau video
Golf fans found it hilarious when DeChambeau took a long time before attempting a putt during a game. The tournament featured Justin Thomas playing alongside DeChambeau. The video showed the golfer trying to make all the possible calculations before finally using his putter. And Thomas simply waited on the side for DeChambeau to finish off with it. However, after all the hard work he put in, DeChambeau missed the hole when he finally attempted to putt the ball.

As soon as the video went viral on Twitter, fans from all over the world started giving mixed reactions to the incident. Some said that it was “painful” to watch, while others couldn’t watch the whole video to see if he made it.
This is painful to watch.

That's just ridiculous I didn't even watch to see if he made it🤣
— Tiffany Petersen (@tiffp6) August 10, 2019
Some fans even suggested that there should be a time limit for each putt. People came up with ideas saying each shot should be hit within “40-seconds max”.
Opponent should be able to call 'clock' like in poker.

I couldn’t keep watching it. @PGATOUR please start penalizing him. This is ridiculous. You should get the same 40-seconds max for every shot including an 8-foot putt. He doesn’t like it, tell him to hit it closer.

Others called DeChambeau’s failed attempt “ridiculous” and said it was “embarrassing” to watch such a renowned player performing this way.
I would walk off, ridiculous
