Bryson DeChambeau on Bay Hill bunkers: "The WORST bunkers on Tour"
Social media reacts to Bryson DeChambeau ripping into the bunkers at the Arnold Palmer Invitational...
Bryson DeChambeau was overheard saying "the worst bunkers on Tour right there" as he splashed his ball out the greenside bunker on the 11th hole during the final round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill.
DeChambeau made the comment after thumping his ball out of a plugged lie to 49 feet, before trudging onto the green to incredibly drain the putt for par.
The PGA Tour clearly wasn't best pleased with the comment as they chose to remove it from their social media clip of the bunker shot and eventual holed putt below:

“Worst bunkers on Tour, right there”.
Sorry Bryson, that’s why people don’t like you pal. Balls plug in sand when they come down from the height you hit it.— Matt Wilson (@mattwilson_1983) March 7, 2021
