Bryson DeChambeau was the face of the 2026 British Open this week at Royal Birkdale. It started with two really good rounds that thrusted him into contention and then continued with a two-stroke penalty that took over the golf world for the rest of the championship. In the end he was never a factor on Sunday, where he shot a two-over 72 to finish in a tie for 14th place.
When I think of DeChambeau’s weird four days on one of the biggest stages in the sport of professional golf, I’m stuck with one feeling that won’t go away—it would have been nice to hear from him more than just the one very brief interview he did after the first round (and that interview was a fun one!).
