Bryson Hates His Driver And Cobra Is Not Happy About It

Only the way Bryson DeChambeau could, the golf ball basher took aim at something else today at the Open..his Cobra driver.

“If I can hit it down the middle of the fairway, that’s great, but with the driver right now, the driver sucks. It’s not a good face for me, and we’re still trying to figure out how to make it good on the mis-hits. I’m living on the razor’s edge, like I’ve told people for a long time.” DeChambeau said in his post-round interview.

It’s apparent that DeChambeau is not very happy with his equipment at the moment, and Cobra is taking notice, included Ben Schomin, who builds for Bryson.

“Everybody is bending over backwards. We’ve got multiple guys in R&D who are CAD’ing (computer-aided design) this and CAD-ing that, trying to get this and that into the pipeline faster. (Bryson) knows it,” Schomin said. “It’s just really, really painful when he says something that stupid.”

Despite DeChambeau’s outburst, Schomin maintains that the relationship is still good and that it just happens.

“It’s like an 8-year-old that gets mad at you,” he said. “They might fly off the handle and say, ‘I hate you.’ But then you go. ‘Whoa, no you don’t.’” Schomin concluded. “He didn’t really mean to say it that harshly. He knows how much everyone bends over backwards for him, but it’s still not cool.”

An interesting start to DeChambeau’s week, for sure.
