Bryson DeChambeau
is not having a good time at Club de Golf Chapultepec. He just came off a terrible performance at Augusta National, missing the cut in the 2026 Masters Tournament. LIV Golf Mexico City has provided no respite either. Naturally, the golfer is sure to be frustrated, and Fox Sports
shared an example of the same.

The media house put up a video of DeChambeau missing a very short two-footer putt on X, at which the surprised two-time U.S. Open champion spread his arms wide, wondering what went wrong. Well, the ball touched the rim of the cup and then rolled past it.
The incident occurred on the 13th hole after he had hit an excellent approach shot. He was perfectly set up for a birdie that could have finally helped him end a round under par. But the miss meant that he could only secure an even par finish on the hole and at the end of the round.
This isn't the first time he has been left surprised at the Club de Golf Chapultepec this week. Just yesterday, DeChambeau was appalled
by the conditions of the golf course after he found a patchy rough. From criticizing the golf course to missing an easy putt on it, he has certainly come a long way in the last 24 hours.

That said, the fans weren't impressed by DeChambeau's efforts and his reaction to the miss. So, they didn't hold back in the comments section.
The internet roasts Bryson DeChambeau after his poor missed putt in Mexico City
Once critical comments began, they pointed in all directions. One user even criticized DeChambeau's personality, saying, "I tried to like him but I just can't. One of those people that nothings ever his fault." Another user also said, "Ok this is just getting absurd, the grandstanding every time he makes a mistake…"
The Crushers GC captain has been subject to a lot of criticism
since his debut. Fans have never been on board with his golf geek persona. They would have been fine with DeChambeau missing the putt. But what frustrated them was his surprised reaction. However, this came as he is looking for his third straight individual victory at the 6th event of the season.

Still, people have been paying close attention to Bryson DeChambeau's reactions. The Crushers GC captain has often had trouble accepting bad news right away, whether it was a long debate over "fire ants" rules or arguing about out-of-bounds calls.
Another fan said, "You can't take four attempts to make a putt in real golf. This isn't the internet."
Dechambeau has built a huge following on YouTube in the last few years with challenge-style videos that focus on repetition and experimentation. He has even said that online golf content could be an incredibly viable alternative. Some people have criticized that identity, saying that his focus on making content is making him less credible as a competitor.
So when one says, "This isn't the internet," it's a pointed critique. In tournament golf, there's only one way to win; online, you can fail and try again.

Another user sarcastically wrote, "The earth moved , he had the perfect pace and line on the putt." While one comment read, "Never seen someone hated to love back to hated again. Be a nerd but don't be a douche on top of it."
It seemed like DeChambeau had changed his perception in the public after his 2024 U.S. Open win. However, his reaction
to Rory McIlroy
ignoring him in the 2025 Masters Tournament received a lot of criticism. Since then, he has been walking on thin ice in the golf community.
Lastly, one of the fans shared a video replay of the putt and wrote, "Simply a bad read / bad putt. Did not hurt a single thing to throw it off his line."
