The most followed YouTuber on the planet, Mr Beast, recently uploaded a video of a challenge series where sports pros competed against regular people. US golfer Bryson DeChambeau also joined the $85m worth content creator for the video.
DeChambeau, who is on the path to becoming a YouTube sensation himself, partook in a $100,000 golf challenge to nail a 330-yard hole. Just before the challenge, DeChambeau promised he would be able to cross the distance in knocks and would not need putts.
His opponent, Aaron, hit his first shot very well, even receiving appreciation from DeChambeau for not hitting the water. Interestingly, the LIV Golfer himself hit the water after seemingly attempting a hole-in-one. He received a shot penalty for that. When asked what he thought of his first shot, the 31-year-old didn't hesitate to show his displeasure.
The competition drew closer as both Aaron and DeChambeau faced close misses. The latter missed a very close putt that brought back his opponent into the game. The two eventually tied after nailing the hole in 5 strokes.
Mr Beast then opted for a tiebreaker as he threw the ball away. Aaron's first shot landed in the water and his second shot wasn't too impressive either as it went way overhead from the flagstick. DeChambeau missed a close putt once again as Aaron hoped for another miracle miss from the pro golfer. However, keeping his reputation intact, the 2-time major champion managed to putt his last attempt correctly, securing the win and a staggering $100,000.
The LIV Golf Team Championship winning captain however didn't forget to appreciate Aaron's determination during their tiebreaker round. At one point in the game, the latter's wife came onto to the course to cheer him on. However, despite a great show of sportsmanship, spirit and skill, it was not Aaron's day.
