Bryson DeChambeau's candid revelation after being beaten by 734th-ranked player in the world: "I was not prepared"
Bryson DeChambeau was considered the favorite going into the International Series India event. However, he fell a little short as 734th-ranked Ollie Schniederjans took home the title.
At the start of the final round on Sunday, DeChambeau was placed T11. However, staging a brilliant comeback, he moved up nine spots on the leaderboard. He didn't card a single bogey in the last round. Despite recording five birdies and one eagle, the LIV Golf star fell four strokes behind Schniederjans, who secured the victory.
Even though it was a shocking loss, DeChambeau took it sportingly and commended Schniederjans (via LIV Golf Weekly).
"Ollie is a great, incredible golfer, he beat my butt in college numerous times. So it was really really impressive to see how well he’s playing, and I wish I could have given him a run for my money, but I was not prepared."
He further added:
"Not as prepared as I could have been, and unfortunately, I didn’t give him a run. But he’s a well-deserved champion, and he deserves every, every bit of the accolades that comes with it."
DeChambeau has the LIV Golf 2025 season-opener slated to take place next week in Riyadh.
