Golfer DeChambeau Unhappy With Camera Operator's Actions

Golfer BRYSON DECHAMBEAU said that he "confronted a videographer" on Saturday at the PGA Tour's Rocket Mortgage Classic after completing a hole because he "wasn't pleased that his reaction after he had hit a poor bunker shot was being filmed," according to Tony Paul of the DETROIT NEWS. DeChambeau after the shot "swiped at the sand in disgust as the camera man, stationed behind the green No. 7 most of the day Saturday, kept filming." DeChambeau said, "I mean, I understand that it's his job to video me, but at the same point, I think we need to start protecting our players out here compared to showing a potential vulnerability and hurting someone's image." He added, "I feel like when you're videoing someone and you catch [TIGER WOODS] at a bad time, you show him accidentally doing something, or someone else, they're just frustrated because they really care about the game. It could really hurt them if they catch you at a potentially vulnerable time." DeChambeau: "For that to damage our brand like that, that's not cool in the way we act because if you actually meet me in person, I'm not too bad of a dude" (DETROIT NEWS, 7/5).
