Nick Faldo started the week ripping Bryson DeChambeau ahead of the 2026 Open Championship at Royal Birkdale in Southport, England. During “Live From The Open” on Tuesday, it was Brandel Chamblee’s turn to go after the two-time major champion.DeChambeau is looking to avoid infamy this week. It has been nearly three decade since a player with multiple major titles has missed the cut in all four majors in a calendar year. DeChambeau has missed the weekend at the Masters, PGA and U.S. Open, and having not played since Shinnecock Hills last month, questions surround his form heading into the race for the Claret Jug this week.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementFaldo dubbed DeChambeau possibly missing all four cuts as the “Rough Slam” on Tuesday. “We’ve got to name it, right?” he said in Sky Sports interview. Chamblee added his thoughts later on Golf Channel.”It’s almost like he went from chasing Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy to chasing Grant Horvat,” Chamblee said of DeChambeau. “It’s like he wants to outdo every YouTuber in the game of golf instead of outplay everybody in the game of golf.”It’s a pretty damning indictment of DeChambeau before the British Open gets underway, but it’s hard to argue. Even this week, DeChambeau has posted multiple pieces of content on social media, including from his practice rounds at Royal Birkdale.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementHe did post a nearly 35-minute video after missing the cut in the U.S. Open and offered a deep look into his game and the struggles in the year’s biggest events, but his content creation has definitely become a part of his routine during professional golf events, whether it’s LIV Golf or majors.Bryson DeChambeau is set to tee off at 4:58 a.m. ET Thursday alongside Tyrell Hatton and defending Champion Golfer of the Year, world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler. He’s capable of being the best player in the threesome, but whether his form will be improved from the first three majors is one of the biggest questions of the week.Cameron Jourdan is an assistant editor of Golfweek, covering college and amateur golf, the PGA Tour and plenty more.
