#Bryson DeChambeau breaks driver during PGA Championship

The recently bulked-up Bryson DeChambeau has been blasting his drives, but he may have swung that driver a little too hard.

DeChambeau shockingly broke his driver just leaning on it after a drive at the seventh tee during the first round of the PGA Championship on Thursday.

“It was weird,” DeChambeau said as he carried the driver in pieces down the fairway. “Must be swinging too hard. I went to pick up my tee and the shaft just snapped.

“I guess it’s all those swings I put in.”

The 26-year-old put on around 50 pounds in the last year, since he publicly pledged to transform his figure last fall by undertaking a program to gain weight and muscle. Currently, at 240 pounds, DeChambeau has kept his figure by maintaining a vigorous diet and training routine.

Besides consuming a reported 3,500 calorie daily diet, DeChambeau, who won the Rocket Mortgage Classic a few weeks ago, has added about an average of 20 yards on his tee shots.

Brooks Koepka recently joked that the controversial golfer may be using steroids, but DeChambeau’s trainer Greg Roskopf recently said he understood why some may think that could be a factor, but added that the golfer’s transformation was years in the making.

The driver malfunction hasn’t stopped DeChambeau from getting off to a good start. He’s 3-under through 11 holes.
