    Beef Johnston wrote: ‘See that @b_dechambeau won last night. In my opinion people shouldn’t moan or complain. What this guy has done is absolutely amazing. I’ve never seen anything like it. So we should be [clapping emoji] him and enjoy watching someone who’s worked his socks off in doing it.’

    That sentiment was backed up by fellow Brit Lee Westwood.

    ‘And also, before everyone jumps on the “let’s lengthen courses more” bandwagon it’s worth noting he was nearly +8 strokes gained putting. Amazing stat and it turned previous weeks top tens into a win,’ wrote Westwood.

    Contender this week, Matt Wallace, was impressed by DeChambeau’s power game. He said: ‘Just heard my man @b_dechambeau hit 9i into 14 today. I hit 4i and hit them both flush. Awesome!’

    American Kevin Kisner had a bold claim.

    ‘He’s changed the way golf is played,’ added Kisner.
