Bryson DeChambeau receives criticism for media avoidance after The Open round one

Bryson DeChambeau shot a three-under 67 on day one of The Open, placing him two shots off the lead. Despite his strong performance, he faced backlash for bypassing media obligations, opting for a private interview with a LIV Golf presenter instead. Wayne Riley criticized DeChambeau on Sky Sports for not engaging with the media, saying it goes against the spirit of the game. The player has not spoken to the media at any majors since The Masters, further frustrating fans eager for insights on his involvement with LIV Golf. DeChambeau's avoidance of questions may impact public perception as he continues his round in the tournament.
