Bryson DeChambeau wanted Trump’s help so badly with his tantrum at the Open at Royal Birkdale.

After attacking the jungle on the fifth hole like a pacyderm on meth amphetamine to gain better access to his ball, he was lucky God did not strike him down with a bolt of lightning.

Bryson would cheat oh no, no, no. Sure looked like it, and he was hit with a mere 2 shot penalty by the officials.

Bryson DeChambeau ‘made Trump request’ during dispute over controversial penalty at The Open- The Independent.

Bryson DeChambeau reportedly wanted to involve US president Donald Trump after controversially being handed a two-shot penalty at The Open. The two-time major winner was handed the penalty late on Friday night after officials reviewed footage and decided he had improved the area of his backswing by flattening down some long grass on Royal Birkdale’s fifth hole. Respected American journalist Geoff Shackelford claimed DeChambeau requested to speak to Trump during lengthy discussions with the R&A regarding the penalty, which dropped him from second place and two off the lead on Friday.

Pardon?

Why would he think the Orange Cheat would help?

The golfer is a friend of Trump, serving on the president’s council on sports, fitness and nutrition, making his last White House appearance in May, and has played golf with him.

Ah, so.le.

Remember the book:

Commander in Cheat: How Golf Explains Trump by Rick Reilly?

Bryson then pissed everyone off as his tantrum droned on until 11pm.

A grown man whining like a three-year-old after being caught on camera; it was doctored with AI, I tell ya.

All in all, hilarious, as the R&A rules are quite clear: behave like an idiot = 2-shot penalty.

I suppose the Orange one will give him a medal to compensate for his injuries.

“It was not deliberate”; color me purple, Sparky.

Aww, poor rather large thing.
