This Open, even without him winning it, will forever be remembered as “The Bryson DeChambeau Show.’’
SOUTHPORT, England — Whatever the final outcome of the 154th British Open was going to be by day’s end Sunday — winner of the Claret Jug or not — Bryson DeChambeau always was going to be remembered as the bull in the Birkdale china shop.
This Open, even without DeChambeau winning it, will forever be remembered as “The Bryson DeChambeau Show. ’’That made DeChambeau a winner at Royal Birkdale even though he never got his mitts on the Claret Jug or his name engraved on it. He was a winner even though he didn’t get to make a heartfelt winner’s speech on the 18th green in front of the packed grandstands as is tradition for the “Champion Golfer of the Year.
’’And man, did he deliver content this week — even if you didn’t like it or agree with it. The polarizing DeChambeau began Sunday’s final round at 6 under par and four shots behind leader Sam Burns. In Sunday’s final round, DeChambeau went away quietly, shooting a buzzkill 2-over-par 72 to finish tied for 14th at 4 under par. This is what makes him compelling — sometimes absolutely likable and other times detestable.
The 32-year-old’s week along the northwest coast of England was, at its core, adventurous. It began with three-time Open champion Nick Faldo napalming him in an interview with Sky Sports, claiming DeChambeau “has zero clue of strategy. ’’Golf Channel studio analyst Brandel Chamblee, a frequent critic of DeChambeau, piled on, accusing him of being less interested in “chasing Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy than chasing Grant Horvat.
” DeChambeau opened the tournament with a 3-under-par 67 on Thursday to stand one shot out of the lead through 36 holes … and then refused requests from the R&A to speak to print and TV reporters; he again declined after his final round Sunday. , the animated discussion with R&A officials, the two-shot penalty assessed, DeChambeau threatening to pull out of the tournament and then“I’m not particularly fond of him,’’ McIlroy said.
“I think a lot of it’s performative. I think a lot of it’s for attention. ’’It was the quietest thing he did all week.
