For those who do not regularly watch LIV Golf, it is a welcome sight to see some names on our screen that we haven’t seen much of lately.

Cameron Smith and Brooks Koepka has had some screen time at The Masters, and after a sparkling Thursday 65, Bryson DeChambeau took center stage.

Bryson has secured a share of the lead going into the weekend and it will be great to see him battle Scheffler if the two are paired together on Sunday.

One interesting aspect of Bryson’s setup this week is his irons. In true Bryson style, he has fashioned his own model of the club designed ideally according to what he needs to get him around Augusta.

The irons were approved by the USGA on Monday, after which he teed it up Thursday and hit 15 greens in regulation en route to shooting seven under.

Removing the Ping i230’s he had in the bag, DeChambeau is carrying some 3-D printed Avoda irons, that are truly unique.

He noted:

“I put new irons in this week. I think that’s a pretty big change. And been using this new driver, 3-wood and 5-wood. So pretty much my whole bag is different since last year, and putter is the only thing that’s remained the same.”

Always one to push boundaries, Bryson is interesting to watch with his extra thick grips, huge drives, mechanical approach to putting and quick trigonometry on the course to figure out his yardages.

DeChambeau and his caddie got the number dead on for his approach to 13 after Bryson pitched out way into the adjacent fairway to set up a good angle in. He did the same on 15, aiming for the flat part of the left side of the fairway as his layup.

On 16 and1 8 however, he flew the green by a long way. The swirling winds caused a few misjudgements from everyone in the field on Friday and anyone posting a number under 75 was pretty happy.

The scientist showing off his new toys, we will see if Bryson can hold off Scheffler, Max Homa and Nicolai Hojgaard this weekend, or if someone will break out of the chasing pack?
