Former Masters champion Danny Willett posted a final round 66 to finish at 16-under, which was enough to earn him a share of fourth alongside fellow Englishman Tyrrell Hatton (68), Canada's Adam Hadwin (67) and Ryan Armour (72).

Australian Rhein Gibson finished at 10-under for the week and a share of 45th after carding a one-under 71.

DeChambeau came into the week with six straight top-eight finishes and was the only player with top 10s in the first three events after the restart from the coronavirus.

He won for the first time since November 2018.

DeChambeau has dramatically changed his body, adding 15 kilograms of mass, and took advantage of the time he had to work on his physique during the season hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

His power was on full display in the Motor City with drives routinely measured about 350 yards.

DeChambeau's drive on the 621-yard, par-5 fourth went way left and landed in greenside rough on an adjacent hole.

He cleared trees and landed just short of the green, sending his approach 276 yards and he two-putted from 37 feet.

As his body and power becomes a fixation for those who follow golf, more eyes are on him and it bothered him during the third round.

On Saturday, DeChambeau had a testy exchange with a TV cameraman after a bogey on the sixth hole.

After the round, he bristled that it isn't right showing a potential vulnerability and hurting someone's image.
