Bryson DeChambeau plays to the gallery whether or not they think he is villain or victim | Andy Bull
Even if he does not lift the Claret Jug at Royal Birkdale the American will still be the player everyone is talking aboutWhip, crack, whoosh, Bryson DeChambeau’s opening shot flies into the distance, pitches, skips, and tumbles into the rough left of the fairway. By the time DeChambeau has reached the ball a big crowd has gathered around it, they’re standing on tiptoes, perched on mounds, tilting sideways to peer around the people in front, who are pressed right up against the ropes and even spilling underneath them and on to the playing area where the marshals, hands out, are trying to usher them back.“Careful Bryson!” someone shouts out as he wades into the rough and, it never takes much, everyone breaks out laughing.
