Bryson DeChambeau let the Porsche European Open slip through his fingers on Sunday in a stunning collapse, playing his final four holes in 5 over par to lose by five to winner Richard McEvoy.The sometimes-fiery, often-quirky American finished bogey-bogey-par-triple bogey putting two balls in the water on 18 while his playing competitor McEvoy made a lengthy birdie putt on the 72nd to claim his first European Tour title by a single stroke.After McEvoy had secured victory, DeChambeau tapped in for his 8 and then had a brisk-at-best interaction with the new champion, captured at the end of this video:The quick handshake did not go unnoticed on social media, with Eddie Pepperell, fresh off his "hungover" tie for sixth at The Open, weighing in here:
