Meet Bryson DeChambeau, The Most Interesting Golfer In America
Last year’s NCAA Men’s golfing champion and USGA Amateur champion, Bryson DeChambeau is a character to say the least. The 22-year-old kid from California made a name for himself playing golf at SMU. He calls himself the “Golf Scientist.” After watching NBC 5’s David Watkins’ piece on the kid, it’s easy to see why.
Kid is a straight golfing maniac. Who in their right mind uses clubs that are the same length and weight? The only difference between his clubs is that each face is lofted 4 degrees higher since he claims that intrinsically adds 12 yards of distance. Every one of his clubs is built to be just like a 7-iron. He doesn’t have to change posture or swing for different clubs. Smart as hell when you think about it for a bit.
It’s sad that the NCAA dicked over SMU and Bryson won’t be able to defend his crown this year, but I think going pro after he competes in the Masters is a great back up plan. DeChambeau is the current leader of the European Tour’s Abu Dhabi Championship — 4 shots up on Spieth..
Wow. That actually is damn smart. I wonder if the trend will catch on. I’m betting some frat star somewhere will try this. And if you are said fratstar, let me know if it works.

10 years ago at 1:42 pmInteresting? Not really. Geeky as hell? Yes. The most interesting golfer in America award goes to my ex-girlfriend, not this goober
10 years ago at 1:51 pmHaving your irons all be the same length is a cool idea and he seems like a pretty likable guy. However, I’m unable to look at a man using a push cart and not automatically think he’s a pussy. I know a lot of the guys at the D1 nationals last year were using them, but I can’t help it.
10 years ago at 1:52 pmI’ll remember that next time you get a golf cart.

10 years ago at 6:44 pmHe also takes every Pro-V1 and puts them into some liquid to make sure they are all balanced or something of the sorts. I read it someplace it’s actually really interesting, the dudes a freak.
