Bryson DeChambeau's amazing gesture mid-PGA Championship round caught on film

might have finished disappointed at the , but one of his young fans was left delighted with the star. DeChambeau finished tied for second at six under par after failing to put pressure on on the final day.

The rebel was right in contention during the third round before a disastrous finish saw him make a bogey at 16 and a double bogey at 17. That left him six shots behind Scheffler when he teed off on Sunday, but a final round of 70 was never going to be enough to trouble his compatriot. However, he left Quail Hollow having delighted a member of the crowd.

As he made his way down one of the fairways, DeChambeau noticed the boy wearing a hat in support of him. The pair shared a brief conversation before the 31-year-old got a marker pen out of his pocket in order to sign the hat.

The fan smiled broadly as DeChambeau completed his amazing gesture. It's not the first time 'The Mad Scientist' has delayed his round to sign something for a spectator, also doing the same at the 2024 US Open.

During the tournament in Pinehurst, where DeChambeau won the major for the second time, he went out of his way to sign an autograph for a young fan wearing a Ben Hogan hat. It was the same hat design that the star, who idolised both Hogan and Payne Stewart, had previously worn himself.

After teeing off at the third hole during his second round, DeChambeau broke US Open protocol by walking over to the fan and signing a flag he was holding up. Indeed, despite his divisive move to LIV, the American has become a popular figure with the golf public, regularly engaging with his followers on social media.

Last year, he posted Instagram videos featuring him attempting to chip a golf ball into a hole on his own putting green from his driveway. He posted about the challenge daily, starting with one shot per day and gradually increasing the number of shots as the days went on, eventually nailing a hole-in-one on the 16th day.

He was also magnanimous in the aftermath of the PGA Championship. DeChambeau was pictured congratulating Scheffler after his win, and also smiling with his rival's baby son.
