PGA Tour pro Bryson DeChambeau has built a reputation as the “mad scientist” of golf, and he takes data analysis very seriously. It’s not uncommon for the former physics major to drop scientific jargon in interviews, which has made him a polarizing character among fans. While some love his unique approach to the game, it’s also made him an easy target for criticism. This lowlight from his first round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational on Thursday is a perfect snapshot of the Bryson DeChambeau experience.

DeChambeau missed a short putt, but was seemingly stunned that his ball broke more than he expected. Cameras picked up part of his hilarious response to his caddie, which caused the commentary crew to burst into laughter.

Classic Bryson.
