LIV Golf star Bryson DeChambeau was seen snapping back at a fan after being heckled during the final round of the US Open at Los Angeles Country Club last Sunday.
A whole host of LIV stars headed to LA to compete in the third major of the season, looking to emulate Brooks Koepka's heroics at last month's PGA Championship. One of the breakaway league's top performers at the Country Club, DeChambeau secured a top 20 finish at one-over-par for the week.
Things could have been even better for the 2020 champion heading into Sunday's final 18 holes, but the 29-year-old struggled on day four, shooting a frustrating four-over-par 74.
During his final round his frustrations boiled over after being involved in a confrontation with one fan. The fan in question appeared to have been timing DeChambeau over his pace of play. The American is no stranger to slow-play accusations.
The topic fuelled his old rivalry with former foe - and fellow LIV Golf star - Koepka during the 2019 Omega Dubai Desert Classic. Video footage on social media showed the American less than impressed, after confronting the fan whilst stood on a tee box.
DeChambeau said: "Are you still timing, cause they just walked off the green buddy," seemingly pointing out the pace of play was down to the group in front. Clearly keen to make his point, he added: "You're still timing? Okay, thank you."
The 2020 US Open champion is never far from controversy, and this only heightened when joining LIV Golf last summer. Despite his Saudi switch DeChambeau is a big supporter of the proposed merger between the breakaway circuit and the PGA Tour.
Responding to the concerns of families effected by the 9/11 terror attacks and defending the Saudi Arabian involvement in the deal, he told CNN: "I don't know exactly what [9/11 families] are feeling. I can't ever know what they feel, but I have a huge amount of respect for their position and what they believe.
"Nor do I ever want anything like that to ever occur again. I think as we move forward from that, we've got to look towards the pathway to peace, especially in forgiveness, especially if we're trying to mend the world and make it a better place."
