Paige Spiranac accuses Brandel Chamblee of HATING Bryson DeChambeau

Paige Spiranac has accused NBC analyst Brandel Chamblee of having ‘hatred’ for Bryson DeChambeau in the aftermath of his US Open victory.

DeChambeau recorded the second Major win of his career in North Carolina on Sunday, taking advantage of a brutal Rory McIlroy implosion to top the leaderboard at Pinehurst.

Golf influencer Spiranac took issue with Chamblee referring to DeChambeau as ‘fortunate’ as he emerged victorious on Sunday. 

‘Brandel saying ‘good fortune’ is why Bryson won the US Open is wild. Doesn’t even try to hide his hatred for him. Smh (Shakes myhead),’ Spiranac wrote on X on Sunday night, just moments after DeChambeau had made victory official.

While DeChambeau needed McIlroy to let him off the hook – he took advantage in scintillating style, most notably with a sublime shout out the bunker on 18 to ultimately hand him tournament glory.

DeChambeau later joined Chamblee and NBC for a chat about his major victory and while the golfer at one stage joked with Chamblee about the condition of his irons, the interview mainly seemed to be carried out in good spirits.

Other fans agreed with Spiranac, though. One took to X and wrote at a similar time: ‘Brandel Chamblee hates Bryson DeChambeau. It’s beyond unprofessional. 

‘I pray a NBC producer gets in his ear and says ‘you know you’re making it obvious, right?”

Another said: ‘Get Brandel Chamblee off the broadcast just ripping Bryson apart every chance he gets.’

But the two do have history. Chamblee is an ardent critic of the Saudi-backed LIV tour that DeChambeau plays on and has singled him out for criticism before.

Back in 2022, speaking of the reported $100million DeChambeau signed to join LIV, Chamblee was quoted as saying: ‘More recently, he’s [DeChambeau] been talking about how he’s found God and become a Christian and I just wonder how he squares accepting money from a regime that is anti-Christian.

‘You can’t pull a Bible out in Riyadh without going to jail. They are misogynistic, they are anti-Semitic, there’s no freedom of speech. 

‘He talks about his charities, about going home to do things, but meanwhile he’s taking money from people who oppress the things he purports to stand for, which is philanthropic enterprises. That’s where the money is coming from.

‘He says he’ll have a new legacy. He absolutely will have a new legacy, and it will be tarnished as a 100-year-old silver trophy that has been untouched up in a closet.’
