The American’s hilarious antics have gone viral

Tournament rights holders Sky managed to grab a few moments with DeChambeau after his final round at the Quail Hollow Golf & Country Club.

And the 31-year-old was seen bizarrely hitting himself on the chin as he made his way to the interview.

Sky’s presenting team couldn’t help but chuckle, with one of them saying: “He’s very much showbiz.

“[He’ll be] feeling like he was a little bit duffed up by the golf course.”

Footage of DeChambeau’s antics went viral, with one golf fan commenting: “DeChambeau & Rahm saved the PGA from being totally boring!!”

Another said: ” What a clown.”

And another said: What a strange dude.”

One remarked: “Hilarious moment.”

Despite missing out on the Wanamaker Trophy, De Chambeau – who finished five strokes behind Scheffler – took several positives from his performances over the last three days.

He said: “I felt like I had the game to win this week and the golf course suited me pretty well.

“I missed a few putts coming down the stretch and got a little unlucky in this great game of golf. It kind of is what it is.

“I’m sure you heard me out there really baffled quite a bit. It was a good fight, good battle, take a lot from it.

“It’s just burning a bigger fire in my belly.”

He continued: “I’m baffled right now. Just felt like things didn’t go my way this week. Drove it really well.

“I drove it as good as I can, as of right now, I gave myself a good chance.

“I just felt like a couple breaks went a different way.”
