‘Classic LIV Golfer’: Bryson DeChambeau’s Painful Blunder at the PGA Championship Agonizes the Golf Community

The second major of the season has started in Rochester, New York. Golf fans will be on the edge of their seats for the upcoming weekend, excited to watch their favorite golfer on the course, including Bryson DeChambeau. The golf pro, started his first round on Thursday with some good golf but his one unfortunate incident during the day was the talking point!

The LIV golfer, just like the rest of the 156-player field, was eager to play at the Oak Hills Country Club. But amid his stunning display of skills, he also suffered a huge mishap, to which a PGA professional fell prey.

Bryson DeChambeau and the unlucky PGA professional

Lately, DeChambeau has been in the spotlight of the media! Be it for his bold comments for LIV or his roller-coaster weight loss journey, the golf pro has garnered a lot of attention from fans. And now that attention only increases, all thanks to a not-so-incredible shot at the PGA Championship.

On Thursday, although he ended the suspended round towards the top of the table, 4-under par, it wasn’t all brilliance from DeChambau on the course. At one point, in fact, he hit such a poor shot that it soared and struck another golfer who was teeing off at the 18th hole!

The victim of his unfortunate mishit was none other than Kenny Pigman, who was preparing to tee off at the 18th hole. The 2020 US Open champion had hit the shot off the nearby 17th fairway, and it had soared straight at the PGA professional.

Fortunately, Pigman was unharmed by the shot. He was quick to react, and shielded his head, and even managed to evade the ball, which eventually glanced off his right shoulder!

The situation concluded positively as the golf pro graciously offered the fan a $100 bill to enjoy beverages.
