0-3! Quite a disappointing thing to look at if you’re on the left side of the figure. That is how Bryson DeChambeau would be feeling after a dismal Saturday at Dallas. For his squad lost the chance to defend the title of champions at the Maridoe Golf Club. No worries… since he managed to turn around and become the champion of the people. You may ask how! Well, it’s all thanks to an amazing gesture he made on Saturday for a fan.

The golfer was spotted signing autographs following his loss to Kevin Na & Co. And the moment that captured the hearts of many was him taking special time and care to attend to a disabled fan in a wheelchair. Suffice it to say, the video sure did go ahead to become viral on the internet, raking in heartwarming responses from many. Way to go, DeChambeau!

What makes it special, you might be thinking! Unfortunately, it’s Smashers GC’s crushing defeat to Iron Heads GC that made it all the more unique. The four golfers failed to even garner a point as DeChambeau lost to Danny Lee (2 up) and Paul Casey lost to Scott Vincent (1 up), in Singles.

Anirban Lahiri and Charles Howell III, meanwhile, found their match in Na and Jinichiro Kozuma, who defeated them 3&1. How about now? Does the special moment become more wholesome now that the picture of the loss is painted clearly? That is how many fans felt as they reacted to the same.

Bryson DeChambeau’s fan service wins over golf world

The Crushers GC skipper wasn’t always the crowd favorite. He had, back in 2020-2022, managed to get into quite a lot of controversies, most of which led to him gaining much criticism. Bragging about how easy it is to play at Augusta in 2020, expressing how his “driver sucks” in 2021, the feud with Brooks Koepka, and his jump to LIV Golf; nothing helped his image as an athlete and a person. But now, the athlete has made a complete U-turn to become one of the most liked golfers in the sport. A fan agreed as well when they commented, @b_dechambeau  is easily one of the most likable pro golfers out there. At first, he seemed quirky and smug, but he’s definitely grown to be a fan favorite no matter what tour he’s playing.

Now, how did he make that U-turn to become a ‘good persona’ in the sport of golf? It’s all thanks to him dishing out content after content via his social media and YouTube channels. What’s more, his interaction with the fans and spectators has surely made him a favorite in the community. Remember his reaction when a grown man swiped a ball he threw to a kid at the PGA Championship? All of those moments added to his likability. Many had the same opinion this time around as well for they commented how amazing he was; “So cool. Dude is amazing”, “He’s the best,” and “Bro is the goat.”

Another fan, at the same time, was a bit more emotional in his response to the heartwarming instance. “How to make a grown man cry,” wrote a follower as he watched Bryson DeChambeau follow Rory McIlroy’s suit and bond with the fan. Yes, you read that right! For the Northern Irishman also boasts a special bond with a special friend, Kyler, for more than a decade. And their interactions have been nothing short of touching every time. Has the ‘Scientist’ found himself another admirer just like the 4-time major champ did? Regardless of whether he did or not, it sure did make the fan’s day!
