Bryson DeChambeau complained about ants being near his ball and golf fans crushed him

Bryson DeChambeau has been the villain that the PGA Tour has needed since it’s return to action last month. He added 30-pounds of mass during the quarantine and has since been hitting drives a mile and won his sixth Tour event a few weeks ago.

He’s also had some very ridiculous moments, including arguing with an official at the Memorial over a ruling about his ball being close to a fence and then recording a 10 on the hole, which basically sent him home for the weekend.

On Thursday at the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Classic he got annoyed with some fire ants by his ball and tried to talk a Tour official into letting him get a drop away from the area. He had a terrible lie between two sticks so he was definitely trying to use this ant hole as a way out of that, but the official rightly told him no chance:

DeChambeau ended up getting a double bogey on the hole.

Golf Twitter wasn’t impressed:

Bryson DeChambeau vs. the “Fire” Ant Hill is so 2020

Talk about wasting all the goodwill you built up from becoming a physical phenomenon

#PGA My newest favorite thing to watch is Bryson Dechambeau trying to get out of a lie that he put himself into with his 400 yard sprayed all over drives. This one was the worry over Fire Ants!!! Pleeeeaaase@$#}+ pic.twitter.com/ZUJMsvr8II

Whenever I botch a drive from now on, I'm going to claim red ants are there and move the ball into the fairway. Thanks for the tip, Bryson DeChambeau.

Bryson DeChambeau legitimately just tried to convince a rules official he should get a drop because there were a few fire ants near him and his ball.

We’ve reached peak 2020.

Is Bryson DeChambeau trying to claim the fire ants are hazardous to him so that he can get free relief? 🙄 #WGC#PGATOUR

Feel like watching the PGA Tour now has just became watching Bryson Dechambeau asking for rulings for 5hrs

Bryson De Chambeau is a pain. Hits tee shot into junk and then cries, "ants, I saw a red one". Gets no relief from official and acts like he broke his arms when he hits the ball. These guys today are unbelievable babies.

Bryson Dechambeau can’t have a single fan at this point. Not one
