Bryson DeChambeau gets torn to shreds by another ex-golfer: Wants to outdo every YouTuber

The knives were out for Bryson DeChambeau on Tuesday.After Nick Faldo took shots at the popular golfer on Sky Sports, Golf Channel’s Brandel Chamblee got in digs of his own in a clip from the network’s “Live From The Open” broadcast that same day. Chamblee questioned DeChambeau’s drive to win by poking fun at his successful YouTube platform. “One of the biggest surprises of the year is Bryson DeChambeau,” Chamblee started off saying.“It’s almost like he went from chasing Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy to chasing Grant Horvat.

So that’s all another story.Then they go back to be superstars.

He has — I’d say it to his face — he has zero clue of strategy,” Faldo said. Faldo, the three-time British Open and three-time Masters winner, added: “Well, I’ve never attacked a links.You thread it, don’t you? You feed it down the fairway.” DeChambeau, like other golfers on the LIV Tour, has...
