“Disgraceful” – DeChambeau Criticised After No Fore Shout
Bryson DeChambeau received heavy criticism on social media after failing to shout fore despite a wayward opening tee shot at the PGA Championship.
The Golfing Scientist, now the longest hitter in the game, pulled his first drive left directly into the gallery and luckily nobody was injured.
There were arms signalled by those on the tee but there was no shout of fore heard via the broadcast.
This led to Sky Sports commentator Andrew Coltart condemning the American, with his co-commentator Ewen Murray agreeing.
“It was quite obvious where it was going to finish, there should have been a shout,” Murray said on Sky Sports.
Bryson did go on to shout fore on the very next hole when he once again drove it into the galleries.

*Bryson pulls one directly at the only group of people standing on this hole*
"Hmmmm if only there was something in this game that I could yell to warn people that a ball is coming directly at them."

Disgraceful behaviour there from DeChambeau. Shout “fore” for goodness sake.

Why isn’t Bryson, his caddie or any of the other players shouting fore, 186 ball speed off the planet left. Surely knows he’s flying into the spectators not even rolling up. Someone will get critically hurt one day. #PGAChampionship @SkySportsGolf

Bryson just hit an absolute laser into the fans on his first tee shot. No fore from him or his caddie. Good thing he doesn’t hit it very hard pic.twitter.com/a4fKI8NJKZ

Can you do something about players not shouting Fore? Just watched Bryson wave his arm left but NOBODY shouted as the ball disappeared into the crowd. Will be lucky if nobody is hurt. Tour players should be setting an example – they are not above shouting! #PGAChampionship

We going to eviscerate Bryson for not yelling fore as he hammers one into the gallery? Of is he an exemption because

Bryson lashing one wildly into the crowd and not yelling "fore" just about sums him up
