In June 2021, at the Memorial Tournament, fans called Bryson “Brooksie.” Undoubtedly, the name was a taunt toward his feud with Brooks Koepka. In a post tournament interview, Bryson was asked whether the hecklers bothered him; he responded by saying that it didn’t affect him at all. “They can keep calling me that all day if they want to; I’ve got no issue with it,” he said.

DeChambeau elaborated that he, in fact, welcomed the hate and didn’t see the calling as insults at all. “Oh, they weren’t taunts at all; it was flattering,” he stated. He went on to tell the press that such abuses may affect other players, but he was immune to them. “To most people they think it’s a distraction, but I grew up learning how to deal with that stuff and I honestly thought it was flattering.”
