was criticised for his interview etiquette by Sky Sports pundit and former professional Andrew Coltart ahead of the final round of the 2025 . DeChambeau began Sunday tied in eighth, having hit a score of five under par during his opening three rounds of action.

The two-time US Open winner had enjoyed a strong start to the third round, hitting five birdies from the first hole to the 15th, with suggestions he could be positioning himself in title contention. However, a bogey and double-bogey across the final three holes saw him drop down the leaderboard.

During his debrief on Saturday evening, DeChambeau was doing a piece to camera while munching away on a post-round snack. However, Coltart appeared to take issue with this, hinting it was disrespectful before claiming DeChambeau and golfers of his generation were "brought up differently".

Coltart's colleague Wayne Riley chimed in with a cheeky dig of his own while teeing up, later adding: "He hasn't got a cookie in my mouth now."

DeChambeau is no stranger to criticism, with the LIV Golf ace having come under fire several times in the past. His most recent bashing came off Padraig Harrington following last month's Masters, with DeChambeau having claimed playing partner Rory McIlroy, who was going in search of a Green Jacket gave him the silent treatment.

, Harrington stated: "What was he thinking on the third hole? Bryson has made his game by being a long hitter. He stands up on the third hole with a one-shot lead, possibly can drive the green, he lays up, makes bogey; Rory drives it, hits driver up to the near the edge of the green and makes his birdie.

"It was the most bizarre change of personality I've ever seen in the game of golf right there in that moment," he continued. "It was beyond bizarre what he did off the tee, for him in his personality. He didn't hit a shot afterwards.

"He has different skills but his ego has gone down this road of being a long hitter and he had a chance right there on the third hole, stand up there, burst one down there, it's a big enough area and he just gave all the momentum back to Rory."
