The Golfing Scientist unleashed a drive on the par-4 7th, where he was trying to drive the green.
His ball flared out right and as he went to pick up his tee the head broke off from his driver shaft.

Because he did not damage the club deliberately, he was able to get a replacement.
“I guess it’s all those swings i put in,” he joked.
“They’re going to replace it, that’s awesome,” he said.
Bryson got a replacement shaft within around 15 minutes and his driver was once again good to go.

If I live to be 130 … even 140 … I probably won't forget the three-month run of Bryson content we've had in 2020. Such great fun.

“17 eggs, 40 slices of bacon, 3 gallons of protein powder every morning for breakfast. That’s why I think the driver broke.” pic.twitter.com/eHOYHkBm7n

That would only have been funny if the referee said he wasn't allowed to replace the driver….

The rules official should have asked for a second opinion.

It happened. Bryson swung so hard he just broke his driver. I repeat: The Kraken is broken.

Another reason Bryson DeChambeau is always must-watch TV these days. He just broke his driver after trying to drive the short par-3 7th at the PGA Championship. He's taking it in good humor, and is allowed to replace it. He has someone going to get a new driver as we speak.

A real man doesn't blame his equipment, he blames the ants.
