Shockingly (not really), the longtime Golf Channel analyst absolutely buried DeChambeau in the wake of Friday's controversial penalty at The Open.For those who missed it, DeChambeau was assessed a two-stroke penalty hours after the fact when officials deemed he improved his position on the fifth hole by trampling down thick fescue behind his ball.Bryson DeChambeau of the United States rides in a buggy with a rules official following the second round of The 154th Open Championship at Royal Birkdale in Southport, England, on July 17, 2026.(Richard Heathcote/Reuters)CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMNothing was said at the moment, of course.Because nothing can ever be normal in golf, this penalty was only assessed after officials saw a fan video making the rounds on social media.

Good! Now, let's see what Bryson's best friend, Brandel Chamblee, had to say about the whole thing:"There were multiple infractions here," Chamblee said during an incredible diatribe that was more dramatic than a daytime soap opera.
"He just danced all over the path behind the golf ball ...He did everything but take a weed wacker to the tall grass."It is really hard to stomach the silliness that we've seen here from Bryson.
You accept this like a man.You look at the evidence and you're like, 'You're right.
I did break the rule.'"BRYSON DECHAMBEAU CALLS OUT LIV GOLF MEXICO CITY COURSE CONDITIONS AMID FUNDING CONCERNSBrandel Chamblee in an official PGA Tour headshot.(Jennifer Perez/PGA TOUR via Getty Images)Lordy.
