Bryson DeChambeau will bring the latest in technology to a 137-year-old golf course this week, and into a major tournament that is even older.
He is set to debut a full set of 3D-printed irons for 154th Open Championship, which starts on July 16 at Royal Birkdale Golf Club in Southport, England, Front Office Sports reported on July 14.
DeChambeau has used single 3D-printed clubs in the past, playing in this year’s Masters with a 5-iron built under computer control. According to the report, he said the full set of irons was recently approved by the United States Golf Association.
A two-time US Open winner (2020, 2024), DeChambeau did not make the cut in any of the three major tournaments already played this year. That comes after he had top-10 finishes at last year’s Masters, PGA Championship and Open Championship.
Currently a member of LIV Golf, DeChambeau won tournaments in Singapore and South Africa in back-to-back weeks in March. REUTERS
