Days after claiming the USGA was "stunting the growth of the game" with their stance on his unique putting approach, Bryson DeChambeau tweeted a lengthy apology and vowed to focus on improving his performance.DeChambeau had experimented with a face-on, side-saddled putting approach earlier this year but was informed at last month's CareerBuilder Challenge that one of the putters he submitted for USGA approval had been deemed non-conforming. He ultimately switched back to a conventional stance last week.But his struggles on the greens continued, as DeChambeau withdrew after 28 holes at Riviera. After missing another cut at the Honda Classic, he pinned blame on the USGA in comments to Golf Digest."The USGA essentially doesn't like me doing it," he said. "I'm pretty much done with it. They're not a good organization, and you can quote me on that."On Sunday morning, DeChambeau took to Twitter to pen an apology to the USGA, insisting that "my emotions got the better of me" when he made his original comments:

I like the fact that he plays different, tries new things, and gets pissed when some guy in a room somewhere decides that his new idea is illegal.
