Bryson DeChambeau winning over fans with hilarious interactions: Dont boo me, Im sorry

Bryson DeChambeau is all about audience engagement.Before teeing off at the 13th hole during the third round of the U.S.

Open at Pinehurst No.2 on Saturday, DeChambeau said he would “love to go for this green.”Spectators erupted with excitement as DeChambeau prepared to hit his shot.“Yeah you would!” one spectator shouted back.

DeChambeau acknowledged his audience as he chose his club.“Don’t boo me, I’m sorry,” DeChambeau said, choosing to play the safe bet.

DeChambeau’s candor sparked laughter, not boos, from the crowd.Unfortunately, DeChambeau missed the fairway on this shot.

But that errant shot didn’t ruin a day full of smart and good play for DeChambeau.He shot a third-round 67 and is at -7 under par and holds a three-shot lead after three rounds of the U.S.

Open.Rory McIlroy, Patrick Cantlay and Matthew Pavon are in a three-way tie for second at 4-under.Earlier in the day DeChambeau went out of his way to sign an autograph for a young fan wearing the Ben Hogan hat he used to frequently wear earlier in his career.The hat holds significance for DeChambeau, who idolized both Hogan and Payne Stewart, who also wore the hat.After teeing off at the third hole, DeChambeau broke US Open protocol by walking over to the fan and signing his flag.

US Open typically prohibits on-course autographs and asks spectators to wait for autograph-specified zones.The action sparked some debate on X, saying DeChambeau should have followed protocol.

But mostly it just made a young fan’s day.DeChambeau is positioning himself as a fan favorite with his hilarious fan interactions.

Last month during the PGA Championship, DeChambeau tossed a ball to a fan mid-play.The ball was intercepted by an adult who tried to run off with the souvenir, but DeChambeau wasn’t having it.

DeChambeau made sure the young fan got the ball back before continuing on the course....
