Bryson DeChambeau described Club de Golf Chapultepec as “diabolical” as the American went through more final-round heartache, this time at LIV Golf Mexico City.
DeChambeau headed into the third round as the 36-hole leader after a strong start, however, the Crushers captain was eventually chased down by Joaquin Niemann, who won his third LIV title of the season, earning him a spot in the U.S. Open. For DeChambeau, it was his second tough Sunday in the space of two weeks.
Earlier this month, the LIV man missed out on the opportunity to win the Masters and his first green jacket, as Rory McIlroy secured victory, completing the career Grand Slam in the process, ending his 11-year wait for a major.

While he entered the final 18 holes at Augusta National two behind McIlroy, DeChambeau was the man in front after just two on day four, before a number of errors cost him dearly down the stretch. He will have been hoping to bounce back in Mexico, but again stumbled at the final hurdle.
It was expected that DeChambeau would thrive in Mexico City, with the high altitude at Chapultepec only adding distance to his already impressive long game. His power off the tee was clear to see throughout the week, but it did not prove enough to win his first LIV title since 2023.
Describing the challenge on day one after shooting an impressive eight-under-par 63, DeChambeau told reporters: “The golf course is gettable, but it’s diabolical, as well. There were a lot of moments where I felt like I was going to get it to nine, ten-under, and there were moments where I’m like, man, ‘I could be three-under or two-under easily if I don’t get my act in shape.

“It’s a teeter-totter golf course. You can hit a drive down by the green, but it depends on the lie, depends on the flag, depends on if you can make some six, seven-footers out here.” The two-time major winner was then asked to expand on his comments a day later, with the main challenge seemingly some of the tough pin positions.
“So there’s some areas where the grass is really thick. And you barely get in the rough, and you can have a super thick li,e and it comes out dead and you have no control of the ball, and there are areas where in the rough it’s super firm and dry and fast and you can get fliers out of there…
“On the greens, if you’re above the hole on certain pin locations, considering where they placed them this week, it’s nearly impossible. So really, placing yourself in good positions and giving yourself a chance to make birdie every single hole is key, but it’s diabolical because of that dry factor and then wet factor that we have out here.”
Whilst it was not to be for DeChambeau, it appeared the Crushers man was a fan favorite with the Mexican crowd. Hailing the support, he said over the weekend: “They’re amazing people, encouraging, loving, just want to support you and cheer you on and shout your name really, really loud.”
