Bryson DeChambeau has revealed his most embarrassing moment on a golf course came during a tense playoff with Patrick Cantlay during his days back on the PGA Tour.
DeChambeau welcomed NFL legend Tom Brady onto his YouTube channel this week, with the pair teaming up in the latest edition of the LIV Golf star’s ‘Break 50’ series. During the video the pair discuss different topics from their careers, with DeChambeau delving into the moment he felt most embarrassed when out competing.
The conversation started after Brady asked DeChambeau which one shot he would like back during his career, with the U.S. Open champion pointing towards a putt at the BMW Championship in 2021.

“If I could change one situation it would have be 2021 against Patrick Cantlay at Caves Valley,” DeChambeau told the former New England Patriots quarterback. “Six-hole playoff, I had a five-footer to beat him and I missed and that was the most embarrassment I have ever felt on the golf course. I felt everyone was behind me.
“Even though there was controversy, everyone was behind me in that scenario and I missed the five-footer. I remember hearing it, feeling it. It was just the biggest embarrassment on the golf course. That was really frustrating.”
DeChambeau went on to lose to Cantlay that day before the 32-year-old went on to win the FedEx Cup title on the back of his BMW Championship. DeChambeau has since left Cantlay and co. on the PGA Tour to join the LIV setup, and has not looked back since.

Arguably the biggest moment of his career came earlier this year, as the Crushers captain won the U.S. Open for a second time. DeChambeau pipped Rory McIlroy to the title at Pinehurst No. 2 in June, securing victory with a superb up-and-down from a fairway bunker.
Asked by Brady in this week’s video if his approach into the 18th in North Carolina was the best shot of his career, DeChambeau nodded his head and replied: “[Yes] not even close… I couldn’t have written a fairytale story better than that one for me.
“Getting up and down, looking up knowing my dad was watching. That was really cool. It gets me emotional every time. I just wish he would have seen it. We grew up watching the 1999 U.S. Open, Payne Stewart doing his [celebration] after his putt, the famous stance he did.”
