After nearly holing his second shot on the par-4 14th hole (his 13th of the day) during the final round of LIV Golf’s Chicago Invitational, DeChambeau got into a bit of a tangle.
No, this wasn’t an altercation with a member of the gallery, but rather he had trouble clearing the gallery rope left of the fairway.
Take a look at the video below:
DeChambeau’s approach shot banged the center of the flagstick on the par-4 and settled about eight feet from the hole. When he tried to get up to the green to see the result of the shot, he failed to duck his 6-foot-1 frame below the rope and took what appeared to be a direct shot to the eye.
