"I mean, I understand it's his job to video me, but at the same point, I think we need to start protecting our players out here compared to showing a potential vulnerability and hurting someone's image. I just don't think that's necessarily the right thing to do.
That response drew the ire of some golf media and fans, not impressed by DeChambeau's take, especially after he had let cameras in to his private home during the coronavirus shutdown to show how he achieved his remarkable physical transformation. "DeChambeau paid for the cameras in his home, but not those at Detroit Golf Club. But he seems to believe any lens has the same function: to celebrate his brand of data-crunching and protein-shaking, to showcase his prodigious distance but never his astonishingly shallow depth. In short, to help him sling product."Will Gray was the reporter to get DeChambeau's comments and could not refute that he had only inflamed the haters.
Bryson DeChambeau of the United States celebrates with the trophy after winning during the final round of the Rocket Mortgage Classic was equally critical of DeChambeau's "world-class triple-bogey" with the cameraman incident, but ultimately was willing to forgive him for his foibles, describing DeChambeau as "a combo platter of reasons why some love to hate him".

Matthew Wolff was second. He started the day with a three-shot lead and hurt his chances with five bogeys over his first 10 holes. Kevin Kisner finished another stroke back.He made a 30-foot birdie putt at No. 16, a short putt for birdie on the next hole and uncorked a 367-yard drive to set up another short putt at 18.
