Bryson DeChambeau issued an apology to Richard McEvoy after the 2018 Porsche European Open, where McEvoy secured his first European Tour victory. DeChambeau, who finished tied for 13th, struggled in the final holes, dropping from contention due to a triple bogey on the last hole. Despite criticism of DeChambeau's actions post-round, McEvoy later expressed no offense at the brief handshake between them. DeChambeau acknowledged his behavior on social media, recognizing McEvoy's achievement. McEvoy, now 39, has struggled to maintain consistency on tour since that win, with his last notable finish coming in 2022. The incident highlighted tensions that can arise in competitive golf.
