SANDWICH, England -- Bryson DeChambeau stepped to the first tee on Friday and tried his best to show his self-deprecating side. He pulled out a 4-iron -- not the evil, no-good driver that caused worldwide headlines the day before -- then played to the crowed as he was booed.
The more those fans surrounding the first tee heckled him, the more he egged them on, finally turning those jeers to cheers before becoming embarrassingly close to coming up short of the fairway with that 4-iron.
Say this about Bryson: he is immensely popular with golf galleries.
