The eight-time PGA Tour winner Bryson DeChambeau is a pro golfer who won the 2020 U.S. Open. He was the fifth amateur player in history to win both the NCAA Division I championship and the U.S. Amateur in the same year. But in 2018, things were different, and he was very vocal about it.?

The U.S. Open was in news in 2018 because of the problems players faced during the tournament. Bryson made an explicit comment on it and it was in headlines everywhere.

What happened in the 2018 U.S. Open?

There was a time in 2018 during the U.S. Open when great names of golf were struggling, including Tiger Woods. They couldn?t even finish the first round, and Bryson DeChambeau was also one of them. His performance was affected, and he could only pot 6-over 76 in the round. The reason for this was the condition of the course.

Bryson took the last shot and yelled, “This is clown golf.” As per SI.com, he said, ?This is clown golf! What am I supposed to do, aim at the grand stand?!??The best of the bunch happened at the par-3 11th hole. It featured one of the smallest greens on the course. And? a powerful left-to-right wind smothered it. All the players, including Bryson, missed the right of the green. Virtually it was clearly impossible to not miss the shot.?

?Supporting Bryson DeChambeau

DeChambeau was in news after this statement, but his fans and others supported him. The golf course arguably should have favorable playing conditions which Shinnecock Hills could not provide that day. It proved to be tough and gave a hard time to some best golf players. Especially round 1, which turned out to be brutal for players, as it yielded the highest score in the first round since 2016.

The course was extremely difficult and over 20 players failed to break 80 in the opening round. Even Rory, Bradley, and Kaymer were struggling. In fact, one even shot 92. It was undoubtedly frustrating for all, but DeChambeau?summed it up in his statement.?
